• 28 day xena: warrior princess challenge, day 2: in which I have a favorite season one episode …

    There’s a lot of nostalgia that comes with rewatching Xena: Warrior Princess, which I guess applies to all television shows that aired prior to 2000 for me, but that’s another discussion for another time. I remember watching these season one episodes the first time as a fourth/fifth grader and thinking that they were all great,…

    So I’m going for full transparency here. I was *thisclose* to postponing this challenge until the break between the summer and fall semesters. Microbio is certainly fun and all – and I’m not saying that sarcastically, either – but it’s a very involved course. God, I can’t imagine what it would have been like if…

    Today’s post is going to be a little text-heavy for “on rotation,” but I feel like there needs to be a little bit more of an explanation to these entries than just making a playlist. Even though the writers had Ben Wyatt (Parks and Rec) say, “I kind of look at it like it’s your…

    I am genuinely excited about becoming a nurse. It’s something I have really wanted to do for a little over 10 years now, but I fought it. For a lot of reasons. One, I didn’t want to become my mother. Granted, she’s not a terrible person to emulate – her confusing continued support of Donald…

    Well, school started yesterday, so I’m in full academic mode. For me, this means I’m looking back at the trip-hop/electronica/house/chill from my youth and going full ham. Seriously, this shit is so good. 1 – “THE SEA” BY MORCHEEBA 2 – “LEBANESE BLONDE” BY THIEVERY CORPORATION 3 – “6 UNDERGROUND” BY SNEAKER PIMPS (NELLEE HOOPER…

    So today is the first day of my second semester officially back in school, and you’d think I’d be used to the concept by now. However? Yeah, that’s not the case. Instead, I had a little bit of an emotional breakdown a couple of days ago. I had something similar happen back in September, when…

    Yes, school starts in, like, four days, but I am 100% ready to do my first 2021 challenge. It’ll give me a nice break from studying microbiology for an hour or so. And instead of rehashing something I did a while ago on my old blog, well, it’s a new year, isn’t it? Shedding 2020’s…

    It’s my last week of relative freedom – I still have work, which BOO – so I’ve been doing quite a bit of writing, specifically on my Paradiso project. I haven’t talked a lot about it because it’s still very much in its first stage, but let’s just say I’m super excited about it. Part…

    Happy New Year, everybody! We. Made. It. I’m changing things up a bit for the first “on rotation …” of 2021. It’s the Podcast Edition. I don’t know if this will be a regular thing, seeing as the number of podcasts that people recommend me continues to grow exponentially and I only have so much…

    The semester doesn’t start until the 19th, but last night, I had my first Zoom session about what I have to do over the next month which will make me go crazy. First, I have to get a whole bunch of medical stuff done (titers, physical, TB test, drug screen, etc.). Second, I’ll need to…
