The Strange Life of the Jamerican Teenager, Part II: Evacuate!
So, in light of Gustav's uncertain path, my college has issued a mandatory evacuation order. Even though the storm is currently leaning to the west. Even though my family in the Caribbean says it's mostly rain. (Yeah, yeah, I know, the storm could pick up strength over the Gulf's warm waters, yadda,... Read More »

"Relax." What Does *That* Mean??
I haven't blogged in a while- I've been busy trying to keep my life more or less "drama- free" in preparation for the upcoming school year. This has been bitterly unsuccessful. I've been working nearly full- time at the new job, which is pretty stressful, but which almost paid... Read More »

EMG, Part 2: One Day I'll Laugh About This
I did the research. I posted the blog. But nothing could have prepared me for it.

Happy Days are Here Again (Maybe)
I just thought I'd write today because it's one of the few days that I'm "happy." Good things are happening. I haven't heard a peep out of my suitemates... I think they've moved out... or else my voodoo doll really works!!! ;-) (Just kidding, of course.) It's been... Read More »

The College Diaspora
Is this normal for college kids? The same thing is happening to my brother, but other than us, everyone seems to be getting along just fine with their college buddies. Should I be worried? Should I remain friends with them? Read More »
