to make a long story short: returning post.

http://oliviamindsthegap.blogspot.com/2009/06/returning-post.html

To make a long story short. Please excuse my long hiatus from blogging. Between scrambling to finish my senior projects, applying for jobs, running a different blog as part of a class project and maintaining a little bit of sanity, I neglected my blog. But to my defense, life has been happening REALLY fast. So to catch you up to speed in the shortest time possible:. Family was in town. Lots of chaos. Lots of eating. Too much to do that I barely had time to enjoy it. I got a job! I started today (yay!

To make a long story short. Creativity can be a funny thing. One of the strangest things has been happening to me lately. Instead of turning to words, my usual modus operandi for creative outlet, I can only find interest in the physical world - I just want to create something with my hands. Perhaps you can expect more pictures posts on this blog soon enough. :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm a recent grad of Elon University who is wading my way through the journalism world. This blog started as a t...

to make a long story short: June 2009

To make a long story short. In the era of e-mail, instant messaging, cell phones and Twitter, many have remarked that we're losing the art and affection of handwritten letters. Somehow a quick e-mail banged out in 12 point Arial just doesn't hold the same weight as a carefully chosen greeting card, engraved with flawed handwriting and marked with an autograph at the end (bonus points if it's barely legible.). Instead. I file them. Two hours later. I had re-read every card. College beginnings, 18th Birthd...

To make a long story short. I was awoken last night around 4 am to bolts of lighting crossing the sky and the crack and growl of thunder so loud I could feel it. Looking out my window, over the valley below was the darkest of nights that I've seen here so far. Yet, when the lightning flashed, the entire valley was illuminated in neon white. It almost had a heavenly glow. How to make cupcakes. HOW TO BAKE CUPCAKES IN AN UNDER-EQUIPPED KITCHEN. Get creative and find a container large enough to hold your ba...

to make a long story short: November 2008

http://oliviamindsthegap.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

To make a long story short. Is not as fun in college as it was in high school. But being a senior in college - is not fun. A gathering with friends for lunch feels more like a wake than a celebration. Phrases like "The Dow fell another 400 points today," "The (insert almost any newspaper in America here) cut 10% of its newsroom today," or "Nope, I can't find any job postings for the tri. State area in my field." fly across the table as quickly as snippets of gossip used to be traded. We do not know where...

to make a long story short: fit tonic.

http://oliviamindsthegap.blogspot.com/2009/07/fit-tonic.html

To make a long story short. Just a quick little promotion to my work blog, Fit Tonic. It's all about fitness and being in the outdoors. I'm still getting started with it but add it to your list of places to stop in from time to time. Some of the information is local to Hampton Roads, but often times it's universal too!

To make a long story short. A relationship with joy. And life is eternal;. And love is immortal;. And death is only a horizon;. And a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight. On Tuesday I attended the memorial service of my last grandparent, my mother’s mother – Joyce Barbara Harris Hubert Sexton. It was held in Denver, Colorado – a beautiful and free spirited place, that truly suited the kind of person she was. What did you do yesterday? What’s your favorite subject? As I entered college I starte...

to make a long story short: new in norfolk.

http://oliviamindsthegap.blogspot.com/2009/07/new-in-norfolk.html

To make a long story short. It's been about a month and I have gotten quite settled into my life here in Norfolk. Just as I felt during my short stays in London and the Poconos, moving always brings about a brief intermission, but soon enough you are settled down in the rhythm of life. My little life in Norfolk is mostly quiet - except for a few exceptions when I find myself sharing too many drinks with my new friends. I think it's nice to live alone. The only thing I don't like so far are the bills.
