Two years ago I started my Day Zero project. I’m not sure how so much time has passed already, but somehow there are only 271 days left. Thus far, I have accomplished 45/101 goals: Take the GRE Apply to grad school Apply to at least one grad school that’s a “reach” school Teach a class/workshop [...]

I had an absolute blast at RollerCon. I shared a room with my friend Leslie, who is also part of Suburbia Roller Derby’s latest Fresh Meat class. Considering we were in Vegas, the two of us were very well behaved. We crammed our days full of classes. We barely left the hotel. Well, we left [...]
I am happy to say that our week-long trip to Michigan was both eventful and relaxing (if those two things can possibly go together). I did everything I said I wanted to do in my last blog entry, with the exception of making a Wal-Mart run. While Kathy, Corner, and I did make a trip [...]

If you’ve been following our gym saga, shortly after writing a blog post about the situation, we found a gym practically around the corner from our house that offers memberships for $30/mo, including classes. Anyway, so I attended a [...]
I got into my first choice school! Hooray! I have the chance to attend NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications program. It was my first choice Masters program, and I got in. However, I wasn’t offered any funding, and NYU isn’t cheap. I would probably finish the program with about $80k in student loans. And that would only [...]
I got an OPI gel manicure this weekend at a cute little spa in Astoria. I feel like I am really capable of accomplishing my Day Zero goal of actually ceasing to bite my nails. It’s been a battle for me my entire life…but then I got braces, which made it a lot harder to [...]
