http://nrkenney.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Knowledge Should Be Smelly. A Distracted Writer's Life. February 8, 2012. One month into my third semester, and I'm deep into the research for my critical essay. What is this critical essay, you ask?

Knowledge Should Be Smelly. A Distracted Writer's Life. November 8, 2012. Picking Up After Hurricane Sandy. Hours before Hurricane Sandy reaches our town, I stand at the gas station pumps to fill up the gas tank in my car. Streets are emptying, stores are boarding up windows. Cold air whips around the station. I jump back into my car, crumpled receipt in hand, and turn to my mother. “There’s water on the wind,” I say. 8220;It isn’t raining,” she says. My mother laughs, but says nothing. How can you help?

From the Woods to the Jungle: September 2011
http://woodstothejungle.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 29, 2011. It's not always easy, but it's always worth it. Let's talk about routine for a minute. Back in 2007/2008, I studied in southern France for a year. Before then, I had moved a lot in my life, but always within the 48 contiguous states. In each instance, I learned that the quicker I established a routine, the sooner I felt comfortable in my new environment. See? Falling into a rut isn't always a bad thing. This past Tuesday, we began our exploration at the Pinacoteca museum.
