The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 10,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many… [Read more…]
There’s still a blog to come about my trip to the Coromandel and the last events of the semester, but amidst the bustle of the last days, that has been a bit delayed. ‘Til then, when I can update from the states, let my facebook status suffice: “And when all’s been said and done It’s… [Read more…]

A few things to check off the “need to address” list before I get into my reflective post. 1. The Glee finale was FANTASTIC. I loved the original songs and that Brittany got way more attention than she normally does. – That being said… I am frustrated that there is STILL no definite path on… [Read more…]
I’ve decided that what makes the most sense in the absurd absence of this blog from your lives, is to start with the most recent events and come back later with a massive Rarotonga/South Island trips update.
