So this is it.  For real, this time.  My last post as a student blogger. I don’t know if I’ve left myself all that much to say, honestly.  I’ve exchanged various fare-thee-wells and hope-to-see-you-again-somedays and this-is-what-I’m-up-to-for-nows... More »

I’m suddenly about a week away from losing access to my Colby e-mail, and with it, I think, my ability to access this blog.  Even on the eve of a new year at Colby that I won’t be a part of, it seems there are still Last Things and Last Times to make me feel weird. So,... More »

These are all more or less related, and I'll admit that compared to my last post, they should be taken with a grain of salt (whatever that means).  But I firmly believe in the first two, especially, and have a good feeling about the latter two, so if you're a regular reader... More »

So before I started reading the Harry Potter books and blogging at obscene length about them, I promised that I’d finish out my last few weeks as an iC contributor with attempts at advice for any readers who are very soon to be Colby-bound. I know that I’ve previously linked... More »

If you read my last post, you’re well aware of the reservations I had about reading the Harry Potter series.  So what specific factors changed my mind?  I’ve written about why my reasons for not wanting to read it were inadequate and largely foolish, but that’s... More »

Since this summer I don't have a job, I've been doing a LOT of reading.  I recently went through the Harry Potter series—for the first time ever.  I’ll explain that in a bit, but first, my reaction: Whoa. So why hadn’t I... More »

Whether it’s semi-passively, through being on Facebook far too often; or actively, by shooting each other e-mails et cetera, we 2009ers have of course been keeping up with each other’s post-Colby lives.  I figured you got tired of all my updates being “Nope, nothing... More »

Sort of. They're not my last words, relax; I'll be back here, I'm pretty sure. See, I keep this little notebook in my pocket, a habit formed in junior year of high school for my AP Lit class.  We were supposed to jot down anything we heard or that otherwise occurred... More »

Still trying to figure out where I’m headed next.  One AmeriCorps position ended up not working out, so I’m looking into a couple of others.  I still haven’t heard back from the film production internship people.  Or the Onion, which I sent an e-mail to yesterday... More »

I was unnaturally happy to find new blog posts by Annelise and Blair on Thursday night, and then I decided to see, yet again, how long I can exploit my post-grad blogger access. Actually, I’d thought about doing it last Sunday/Monday, since that marked three weeks after graduation.  You... More »
