Thursday Three (March 11)

Posted on the March 11th, 2010 under love& life by Sue

Thursday Three is a weekly event in which I post three random facts about myself. These can be anything from an activity I did over the past week to a physical feature. I invite you to post random facts about you either in the comments or in your own blog. Have fun!

  1. Everything that could possibly go wrong with the grad school application process has: my computer is currently broken and I have to use the one at the library.
  2. I have a ton of stuff I’d like to post here, but have very limited internet access at the moment.
  3. My favorite color is orange.

What’d You Get? Wednesday

What’d you get? Wednesday is a weekly meme/event/series in which I list the things I’ve bought over the last week. This may or may not appear every week, depending on whether I buy anything or not.

I had another wonderful book week this week, mostly because I went on a book buying binge. As much as I love books, I really need to stop this because I can’t afford it. Anyway.

Women’s history month. What should I do?

Posted on the March 1st, 2010 under love& life by Sue

Happy women’s history month! One of the things I’m grateful for was the chance to take two semesters worth of American women’s history in college. It’s too bad my (women’s!) college didn’t have more women’s history options…or any classes about people of color for that matter.

I’m never sure how to celebrate something like this. I did come across some book lists (like this one and this one) so maybe I can spend some time reading (or re-reading) some of those books. Got any other ideas?
