After much fretting and worrying and research, my thesis proposal is done. It was due last Wednesday but the professor knew I wouldn’t be done until this weekend. I sat down yesterday and started it, for the 27th time and made great progress. It’s amazing how once you find the path you want [...]

Everyone has dreams. Some I’m sure are large and grand. Some are probably small and humble. I have both kinds. On the large, grand side I’d love to have millions of dollars, travel the world and save all kinds of animals. On the smaller, humbler side I’d like to have a couple of acres and [...]
