Milking It
My new roommate Stephanie and I decided to go on the milk diet. You’re supposed to add 24oz of milk a day to your regular eating habits, and it speeds your metabolism, protects you from osteoperosis, and gives you energy. … Continue reading
A Professional Yenta
For the last six years of my life, people have looked at me funny and asked “Oh, classics… and what are you planning to do with that?” I would mumble something about teaching or my secret plan to be a … Continue reading
Grammar and Mechanics
I passed my MTELs! I got a 97 in reading! I showed my roommates, well, actually I did a happy little dance and they came to see about all the crashing. Chris asked me if that’s percentage correct or percentile, … Continue reading

Lampreys and Roadkill
Kristine is moving out today. (Why isn’t there a picture for “Double-Plus Emoticon Frowney”?) She got an internship in Michigan, measuring and weighing and sometimes killing lampreys. If you’re a history geek, the lamprey’s main claim to fame is causing … Continue reading
BuffyVerse Villians In Space!
