One of my favorite things to do is write short essays on life. Here’s my most recent thought path. One night, a few weeks ago, we decided to go see the new Captain America film. After adding in lots of friends, we had a group of over twenty people – sitting in the…

The Flu and Spring Break
Well, long story short, I took an impromptu spring break. It was great. I read, talked to my sister, watched movies, slept. The only problem was, I took spring break because I had the flu. I read, watched movies, and slept while I had 103 fever. And I spent a lot of time talking to…
Happy Valentines Day!!!
To the true loves in my life… Rachel, for when you beat me terribly at soccer, for when you spin in circles and giggle, and for the long heart to heart walks down our road… I love you. Erin, for the entertaining violin and cello duets, for the times you have chased chickens in the…

Some more that others, depending on when I want to schedule them, but they are all coming up here pretty quickly. I would like to be done with economics and algebra before the close of the year. Economics will be…
"Make it a close second"
I’ve always like algebra. Geometry never really was my favorite, but I liked Algebra. So I actually enjoyed the daily math grind in a way. But I also discovered that I was not called to any career where I did math 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After to much math my brain…
