This was my first official year taking part in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). In the two previous years, I had only ever heard talk of NaNoWriMo and attempted to write something every day. It was impossible for me to write the intended quota of 1,667 words per day with the school and work schedules… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Experience
Well, that was a fun little stretch. This was my first year taking part in Booketubeathon. I did a few challenges and read a few books and I call that progress. Especially since this is the first time I have picked up a book for myself almost since I started University, which is… Continue reading Booketuneathon is off!
For the last few months, I missed my deadlines for reads/reviews for this blog. For that I am truly sorry. My only reasons are in order, massive projects for school, finals for school, moving to a different state, and, currently, unpacking and getting my new living quarters in order. Unfortunately, I’m likely going to be… Continue reading Getting My Ducks In A Row
You know how people say, “When one door closes, another one opens”? Well, I recently had a door close on me. I work at this bookstore/cafe in one city in one state, but in about 10 days I’ll be moving to another city in another state entirely. I’m going from very South to very North.… Continue reading Personal Update: On Dealing with the Loss of a Job in an Adult World

Well, friends, I have a project in one of my classes where I am meant to write an 8-10 page research paper on an issue regarding the teaching of reading at the middle school level and higher. I’ve only been at this college for 3 years and,… Continue reading How Done With School Am I?
I made a plan early this year to read one book each month. I made this deal with myself because since I’ve started going to university roughly four years ago, I’ve almost completely stopped reading for myself and have solely been reading for school. Reading does bring me a lot of pleasure–I really dig… Continue reading Big Magic, Little Book
It wasn’t easy going back to school again. The desks were so small that my notebook barely fit on one. There was no space for my drink but on the floor where people might knock it over because the spaces between the desks was also quite narrow. My bag was hardly sticking out from under… Continue reading Back to School, Fool!
Happy New Year everybody! This is the first installment of a former book nerd trying to take her literary life back. Here’s a little background information on myself: I am a 24 year old college student who works full-time in a cafe. I’ve been in college since I was 17. You do the math. Why… Continue reading This Is For Me
