‘Summer Break’
Summer 2019 Plans
Mar. 25, 2019—If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’ll know that I post updates each year on how I’m planning to spend my summer break. This year is a bit different. I still have some plans, but after three years of hard work, my main plan for the summer is to REST. With the...
Quickie February Post: Apps, Apps everywhere
Feb. 15, 2015—Expecting chocolates and roses this month? Think again, college students!
Chronicles of Narnia: the Student, the Shift, and the Family
Dec. 24, 2014—Going home for the holidays might not be what you expected it to be. Sure wasn't for me the first time.
Thanks for the memories
Apr. 28, 2013—Not too long ago I was in the very spot I sit right now, curled into fetal position with Ed Tullett playing in the background (look him up…am I cool yet?), lamenting the departure of my parents from Nashville, and nursing my feelings of abandonment/nervous stomachache the only way I knew how.

However, I’ve been told that typing one sentence will not suffice, so I will endeavor to...

Unlike TC, I lack the ability to remember even highly important facts...
Fish Heads and Floods
Jun. 28, 2011—In my last post, I said I would be spending a month in Zanzibar, Tanzania teaching English and other things. I got back from this amazing trip in the middle of June, and can’t wait to tell you all about it. For the geography impaired (me), Tanzania is on the east coast of Africa, under the...
