Bad Luck Strikes Rutgers

What a month for Rutgers! The Fall 2010 semester has brought so much attention (local and national in both of the cases) to Rutgers — in a negative way unfortunately. A few weeks back, I posted about my thoughts on the Rutgers freshmen who committed suicide. Since then, the Rutgers community has been hit with …

Settling into the New House

We moved this past Sunday, and are slowly and finally settling into our new house. The last month and a half have been insanely busy with all of the renovations our new house needed amongst the packing (and now finally unpacking). We pretty much packed the whole house in two days — and that worked out …

Thoughts on Trapped Miners in Chile, Part Two

All of the 33 miners were rescued and brought to safety! What an amazing story! With so many odds against them, and so many potential risks along the way – it is an absolute miracle. An absolute fairy tale ending for what could have been a horrendous tragedy. What started off as 17 days without …

Thoughts on Trapped Miners in Chile

Anyone with a heart has to have been disheartened following the story of the 33 miners trapped underground since August 5th (68 days!) in Chile. How can you not?

My Thoughts on the Rutgers Tragedy

I Hate Being Sick

You know what’s worse than being sick for about two weeks? Spending about eight hours in the emergency room while feeling miserable! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – nurses – my god, are they the most patient people or what? I don’t know how they do it. I’m a fairly impatient and stubborn …
