Today I spent a little more than 3 hour working and freezing in a very crowded Starbucks. It looked more like a school library or study room than a coffee shop. Every group had at least one computer for the whole group, at most one per person, like us. When my whole group was there, all … Continue reading Putting together a multimedia story

First, I've had about all I can take in politics, that's enough for now. I was ready to relax, meaning get to work on my final project. I was happy because we were assigned a group project and three heads are better that one, except when the two other heads leave your head out. My … Continue reading We need to work together, whether we like it or not
I can't ignore what is happening right now. Everywhere I look, there he is, there are his words, there is the world terrified, just like I am. I don't want to give him more glory by writing about it, but I just can't ignore it. How did this happen? I thought we had this, I … Continue reading Don’t worry, be happy

I want it to … Continue reading Is it over?
