I lived in Gainesville, Florida from six months old to about three-and-a-half. I went to Disney World at least once a week. I think being so overly indulged at such a young age has a lot to do with who I am now. My love for dinosaurs, my dream of being a movie director, my…Continue Reading A Little Bit About Myself
So I wanted to write about this Resume Writing, like…educational, I guess you could call it, because throughout the semester writing a resume was one of the weirdest, hardest, most frustrating things I have ever done in a class. By no real fault of the class though, or Dr. Sharma, I want to make that…Continue Reading The Resume
I have always felt a little prohibited in my writing classes. By no fault of the university I attend, or any individual educational institution do I want to shovel the blame, so I’m just going to say they all suck.

For example, I am an observational comic first, but I use all forms of comedic styles in my jokes to get laughs…Continue Reading The Observation
Hmm, I wonder if I am going to mention comedy in this one? Yes. All I want to do with this response is the same thing I do with all my entries and that’s find a way to talk about my stupid job that I am in love with. Well actually the reason I always…Continue Reading A Letter To The Audience
I loved hearing about Dr. Kopp’s exploits and stories on his road to becoming the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. His almost giddy, childlike nature was surprisingly refreshing and different from the stereotype of many high ranking members of academia. He was interesting, engaging, and most notably, very approachable. The first thing…Continue Reading Dr. Kopp’s Visit
