You know you’ve just finished a statistics class when certain phrases start to creep into your conversation. And, you know you’ve been married to an engineer when certain thoughts creep into your head. A few humorous examples that make me think I’ve got math brain? Take a look: During rehearsal this weekend, the backstage area [...]
I’m back from a wonderful long holiday weekend, complete with two Thanksgiving celebrations, a homemade bread-making day with my husband, singing and even a stats study session! The madness over Black Friday provided some great inspiration to start the week. We love stuff, and in America, we’ve got plenty of it. And yet, there’s people [...]
I had a chat with my mom the other night that sparked this post on the generation gap. We’re in a much different place than our parents, and I think sometimes we forget that there’s a difference between today’s economy and priorities, and those 20 years ago. First, there’s no loyalty anymore. My brother is [...]
I’m excited to have another article at The Daily Muse, discussing how to deal with taking time off of work for religious observances. You can check out the article here. I’ve written a few pieces for The Daily Muse, and you can view them in the education and career sections of the site. You can [...]
I’ve been feeling particularly unmotivated the last few months, especially in my classes. I think it stems partly from my overall distaste for Statistics, and feeling like I would rather do anything but study for that class. Couple that with the discussions with my husband about being too responsible, wasting our young lives, and generally [...]
My husband and I attended an Explosions in the Sky concert this past weekend, and it turns out that there was an installation art exhibit downtown as well. We walked through the exhibit, and it was pretty obvious that it was the first show for some of these artists. They were so excited when we [...]
Well readers, I didn’t do well on my Stats exam. Let’s take a moment for the shock that the professor managed to grade that exam overnight! Further, our biggest tradeshow of the year starts in less than a week, so the stress is piling on. Add to that a paper that’s due in about 2 [...]
This is the final post in my 3-part mini-series on lessons from the trail. You can view the first post here and the second post here. I’m a fit person, but my feet were killing me after just a few miles. We’d planned to camp for two nights, but mid-way through [...]
I think I’m grumpy today, so this post may sound a little sour. However, the sentiment is spot-on, so I’m going to attempt to write about it in a balanced, professional manner. We’ll see how it goes! First, let’s talk about “internships”. I’m not talking about the legitimate, paid, really-gives-you-a-hands-on-look at the business internships, I’m [...]
School officially starts on Wednesday, but since I’m taking classes on Monday and Tuesday nights, I get a few extra days off! It’s been a wonderful 3 week summer break, filled with time at the gym, time with my family and friends, and adventures with my husband. We attended “’til Midnight” at the Nasher Sculpture [...]
