http://worthwhilecause.blogspot.com/2013/03/another-delayed-update.html
The one year of volunteering didn't quite pan out. But this isn't over yet! Friday, March 29, 2013. I know, I should be updating this more often. Don't judge me. I'm happy to report there are lot's of things happening on the volunteer front! First and foremost I'd like to give myself some publicity. I'm going to be running in the Go! St Louis Marathon this year. Actually, I'm running it this Sunday, April 7th. To learn more about the marathon follow the link:. Http:/ sllis.wordpress.com/faq/. It was my m...

A Worthwhile Cause: March 2012
http://worthwhilecause.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
The one year of volunteering didn't quite pan out. But this isn't over yet! Thursday, March 29, 2012. I had a dream. A lot of you might think I'm crazy, some of you might agree with what I'm doing, and still others might delete me from your friends list for deciding to type out such a ludicrous idea. Let me give you a little bit of a back story to what led me to the path on which I now find myself. And just two days ago I had a dream. I post this now, not to toot my proverbial horn, nor to make an attemp...

The one year of volunteering didn't quite pan out. But this isn't over yet! Thursday, May 30, 2013. Fitchthehomeless - A Humorous Take on a Very Serious Problem. By this time, I'm sure most of you have come across the #Fitchthehomeless hashtags and references saturating every social media platform we're registered for. For those of you who aren't a part of the cool kids clique, please stop reading my blog. I kid, of course. Karber himself urges viewers to push the movement forward, not by following his e...

A Worthwhile Cause: Publicity For a More Than Worthwhile Cause
http://worthwhilecause.blogspot.com/2013/05/publicity-for-more-than-worthwhile-cause.html
The one year of volunteering didn't quite pan out. But this isn't over yet! Wednesday, May 15, 2013. Publicity For a More Than Worthwhile Cause. It's not often I'm inspired by the actions of another. A few weeks ago I came across this status update:. Can't believe this only got 6 likes. I made it extra-large so you could see what motivation looks like! He's getting an experience of a lifetime, you say? Getting a trip paid for, you say? Going on a vacation on someone else's dime? I don't mean this post to...

https://stavvers.wordpress.com/2014/03/11/not-doctor-stavvers-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-quit-my-phd
I love you, please give me money. Thoughts and rants from another angry woman. March 11, 2014. Not-Doctor Stavvers, or how I learned to stop worrying and quit my PhD. Content note: this post discusses depression and suicide and disordered eating. Over the last couple of weeks, a discussion has opened up in the media about mental health problems in academia, in particular amongst PhD students. Some point to a culture which normalises mental health problems. An undergraduate lab report, let alone marked one.

A Worthwhile Cause: Let's fill that boot again!
http://worthwhilecause.blogspot.com/2012/04/lets-fill-that-boot-again.html
The one year of volunteering didn't quite pan out. But this isn't over yet! Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Let's fill that boot again! Another day with Fill the Boot turned out to be pretty awesome! It was a pretty busy day for the firefighters of Firehouse 58! They worked pretty hard. I had a ton of fun and even though I am fighting to keep my eyelids open at this point, it was all truly rewarding! If you ever get a chance to volunteer with this program you will never regret it! See more pictures at:. Follo...

The one year of volunteering didn't quite pan out. But this isn't over yet! Tuesday, May 21, 2013. The Big Runner and The Little Runner! The story of Julie Weiss isn't a new one. I was just late to the party. A few months ago I came across the story of the Marathon Goddess, Julie Weiss. Hers is the inspirational story of a person determined to make a difference. For those of you who don’t know, Julie’s story started with the loss of her father. Even though she successfully completed this impossible endea...

A Worthwhile Cause: Shadow Session
http://worthwhilecause.blogspot.com/2012/04/very-quick-update-seeing-as-how-i-had.html
The one year of volunteering didn't quite pan out. But this isn't over yet! Friday, April 27, 2012. A very quick update, seeing as how I had a preparation day today. I went for my Shadow Session and pseudo-orientation for my participation in the Reading Partners program as a reading tutor. I got to submit my paperwork and get brought up to speed on the program and what my responsibilities will entail. I'd like to thank Jourdan and Nicki from Reading Partners Los Angeles for getting me setup! How we do it:.

A Worthwhile Cause: December 2012
http://worthwhilecause.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
The one year of volunteering didn't quite pan out. But this isn't over yet! Monday, December 31, 2012. Hey there, long time no see. It's been 249 days, or 8 months 5 days, or 35 weeks, or 5976 hours, or 358,560 minutes, or 21,513,600 seconds, since I last wrote in this blog. Disappointing, I know. Even after being so jazzed up on my first post. After all the support, all the well-wishing, all the pats on the back and all the positive vibes I simply quit. It was like a good book I couldn't put down. I...
