The "Tosca" Post

What do you get when you put an artist, an entertainer, and a corrupt official in a church together? You might think the "Hunchback of Notre Dame." Wrong. You get Giacomo Puccini's seminal, immediately accessible operatic hit, "Tosca."

The Frustrations Post

I have just been dancing. Because it's the end of another long week and I am halfway through what they call "Journalism Boot Camp."

The Why Post

Why do I want to be a writer?

The Reinvention Post

Remember this day. For this is the day that I have been reinvented.

Like Madonna, I have emerged to become a newer, better self.

How you ask?

The First Week Post

On Saturday night, while the world danced in dark halls and shot back jaegers like it's water, I had the best sleep I've had yet. That was after a long week of introductions, niceties, and straight nine to five block of classes that make me feel like I'm back in grade school again, though with a Macbook this time.

The "WTH Streetsigns?" Post

So not having internet the past couple of days have resulted in me taking very creative measures to try to find internet. Having parked myself at Starbucks some days past, I have decided today (since it is orientation) to experiment with the computer lab at Syracuse, filled with shiny new Macs

The Pixar Post

A day or two, a 10 minute drive to the nearest Target (located in the next village) to supply the house and my room with much needed amenities, and a series of unpacking later, I am now fully settled into the house. And amazingly enough, the anxiety, fear and general homesickness has abated.

The New House Post (Look, I made a pun!)

I am now living in a house with 4 other Syracuse Newhouse Journalism students. My first day, after lugging up my three suitcases, I open the door to find a fine layer of dust coating the floors.

But after some explorations later, I discover that I have a basement.
