“I read to be alone. I read so as not to be so alone.” I just finished reading Stealing Buddha’s Dinner by Bich Minh Nguyen that my friend and fellow English major gave me months ago. It’s about the cultural-conflicts a Vietnamese-born American girl faces growing up in Michigan. Basically. So much of it…
All posts in learning
Tuesday has never been so metal
To the person who is more happy being himself than anyone I know. May only good things happen to you 🙂 And, against my better judgement, here’s this: Happy birthday, Evan! Love, Jacklynn Ps. And happy birthday to the ever-cheerful Susannah as well.
On the campaign trail
Looking for work is tough business. There is a job that I really want and I hope I find out about it soon! Here’s a video by one of my favorite YouTube channels, I haven’t them watched for a very long time, but still good. Enjoy!
More summer fun
01 | Chasing hot air balloons 02 | Caffeine Dreams with Savannah, Carissa, & Eric 03 | Watching Evan work on his latest glitzy piece 04 | Shakespeare on the Green performing A Midsummer Night’s Dream. As you can tell from my horrendous tan lines, I’ve also been exercising outside. I’m in between bikes…
Here’s to hoping
It felt as if one’s entire world was one, long Sunday afternoon. Nothing to do. Nowhere to go. -Ralph Gibson My Monday movie: My summer, my post-graduation, (my life?) hasn’t exactly been going well, but I’m hoping for things to be ok soon.

Jealous!
So I’ve been plucking away at my ukulele trying to learn this song, when I stumbled across this kid playing it approximately 1000000x better than me. Not fair! On the bright side my new ukulele should be arriving soon. New ukuele? you ask, But didn’t you just get a new ukulele? Why yes I did…
It’s not “goodbye”
….it’s “until we meet again.” So all last week I was actually in Laramie and had scheduled those posts in advance. I’m tricky like that. But before I talk about that, first: your Monday movie, which I didn’t get to post because I was on the road yesterday. By the way, the drive was the…
5: The good
Am I talking about graduating too much? It’s kind of a big deal and it’s just starting the settle in. For example, the other day I was going to save this file for a random project I wanted to do, but when I look for a place in my documents I realized that I my…
Neat things: it’s been a while
01 | My favorite This American Life episode, “Origin Stories.” So good. It’s about…you know the origins of different stories. My favorite is Act One, about Julian Koenig, a copywriter and how his ideas were stolen for him. [57:27] [Source] 02 | My love of containers cannot be contained. I found this on a procrastination…
