Life Through My Eyes
“When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you, but because, in that brief moment when the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you are hoping for.” As soon as I read it, I chuckled because that’s so me (and true, don’t …
In one of my classes we have been talking about how we would erase New Jersey’s $9 billion budget deficit. We did various activities, including a poll in our class and writing plausible lead stories amongst other things. Today, we did this Budget Calculating activity as a class using the same aspects we used for …
On a much brighter note, Louise at Adori Graphics designed a new look for my blog. She installed it for me this morning and it turned out great! She was great to work with, and really captured ‘me’ well. Thanks Louise! I really liked my old design as well, but I had had that for a while and …
I came across this blog yesterday and I was hooked. Like I have been constantly reading it every chance I get and will probably be done catching up on all the past posts by tomorrow (even though I should be reading for classes…). It’s written by an American women who is married to a Pakistani …
The Baby-Sitter’s Club (BSC). You remember those books? If you are a female around my age (21) or even plus/minus a few years, you probably do. I don’t know about you, but i LOVED those books. They were my all time favorite novels to read growing up and I definitely grew up on them. Even …

I’ll have to find that out …
Happy New Years! Anyone else think 2009 just flew by? It seems like every year goes by faster and faster than the year before. There are so many things i’m looking forward to this year – graduating from rutgers in may being one of them – and i’m quite excited to see what this new …
I just came across this through one of the trending topics on twitter currently and i found that it lay out the differences quite clearly in phrases that are most often used incorrectly, whether it is a word spelled incorrectly or used in the wrong context. Where i’m editing essays or papers for my little …
I don’t know about you, but i LOVE playing old board games with family and friends. Tonight, my little cousin Imran stayed over after a really long time and we (my brothers, Imran, and I) played a game of monopoly (that took over four hours!) the old fashioned way (after a few years) – and …
