Thoughts on the world food crisis
Today my favorite news source, the BBC Global News, had a section on the current food crisis. The current British prime minister said that he felt too many of his countrymen were wasting food.

July 4 in the City
Tom and I spent Independence day weekend in New York with Cassie and Doug, and Adi and Jeremy. We drove out Thursday evening after a wonderful dinner with the Lee’s (the most adorable and loving elderly couple you have ever met). We decided to break up the drive by stopping half way at a…

Yes, the bank accepted our offer of $48,500 with 3% towards closing costs. We are really excited! I called around and interviewed some…

I'm officially finished!
My finals week wasn’t as intense this year as it has been in past years. I was able to balance studying and writing papers with celebrating Tom’s birthday, attending concerts, and preparing for auditions. As a result of the lack of stress I hadn’t felt the same urgency for it all to be over.…
