A New Adventure Begins

Back in April I did something 20-year old me would have never, ever, thought would be a possibility or of interest. My undergraduate years and graduate studies were focused on architecture. As a little girl I loved Legos, model building, and designing. Add to that the fact that my favorite grandfather had helped build the... Continue Reading →

The First Snow

Last year I was not thrilled with my English teacher. This one is already so much better in every way possible. Including that we have creative writing assignments. The first one was to write about a natural event. Here is what I came up with. Can you tell I kind of what snow? Enjoy... Twenty... Continue Reading →

NYC Showcase

Day 2- Feeling Wickedly Sick

Ah, what an exciting morning. I woke up a few times in the middle of the night and felt a little sick, but was able to convince myself that it was nothing and went back to sleep. However, in the morning I was really not feeling well and after not feeling terrific each morning all... Continue Reading →

Day 1-Settling In

For those of you that don't know, the magnet program that I'm in goes to New York for a week when we reach 8th grade. It's not all fun and games, though.  There are usually around 8 groups of 8, though this year we were a little smaller with only 7 groups and two of... Continue Reading →
