Genesis: June 2012
http://amriel2.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Teacher. Student. Writer. Sister. Monday, June 25, 2012. Chicago Week 4: Never such devoted sisters. I've got some good friends. In high school it was these two. We were ridiculously studious, but we still found time (usually at 6 am) to watch Jane Austin movies and talk and read books together. In college there was a whole crew. We ate every meal together and studied for finals together and went on kayaking trips and hiked West Texas mountains. Some of them still know me better than I know myself. I go ...

Genesis: This morning
http://amriel2.blogspot.com/2011/10/this-morning.html
Teacher. Student. Writer. Sister. Tuesday, October 4, 2011. My apartment smells charred because I heated a tortilla directly on the stove. Every pair of dress pants I own is scattered around my bedroom, evidence that I really need to go shopping for some smaller clothes now that I've started running. I got back from tutoring last night at 10 pm and watched 20 minutes of a documentary on Prohibition before crashing. The sink is full of dishes. I'm writing a quiz ten minutes before class.

Written and pondered by. Tuesday, February 25, 2014. I've been home for about a month now. At first I was lost and confused as I wondered what I was supposed to do.

Genesis: Doctor visit number three
http://amriel2.blogspot.com/2011/10/doctor-visit-number-three.html
Teacher. Student. Writer. Sister. Friday, October 7, 2011. Doctor visit number three. This morning I went out for a 15-mile run. My foot was hurting - it has been for the past few weeks - but I figured I could tough it out. Then on mile 5 the pain turned from throbbing to shooting, and I couldn't breath for a second. So I limped out another 4 miles, decided I was doing my body more harm than good, and went to the doctor. So I went to Care Now, because doc-in-the-box doctors are my favorite type (no, I do...

Genesis: It's (not really) a hard-knock life
http://amriel2.blogspot.com/2011/09/its-not-really-hard-knock-life.html
Teacher. Student. Writer. Sister. Thursday, September 15, 2011. It's (not really) a hard-knock life. I haven't gone grocery shopping in nearly two months. Eating through your pantry, they call it. The reason behind my grocery-store boycott is simply because the summer term stopped paying me in July and this new semester doesn't start paying me until October. So I decided to cut out my grocery budget, because who needs food, right? Pasta: I don't know why I have so many boxes of pasta in my pantry, but th...

Genesis: Chicago Week 2a: Sore feet, drunk trains, and towed cars
http://amriel2.blogspot.com/2012/06/sore-feet-drunk-trains-and-towed-cars.html
Teacher. Student. Writer. Sister. Sunday, June 10, 2012. Chicago Week 2a: Sore feet, drunk trains, and towed cars. I've got pretty good luck when it comes to traveling. I'm laid back and I don't worry about leaving on time, and I pretty much just try to have fun and things mostly work out. Every now and then I've gotta pay the ferryman, though. My day in the city was fantastic. Lit Fest was an outdoor book fair with stand after stand of used books in a street lined with old bookshops and wine stores.

Hearthside Herald: One Sinner's Hope
http://atthehearth.blogspot.com/2015/04/one-sinners-hope.html
Where I unload my thoughts in a somewhat organized manner. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30. Saturday, April 11, 2015. I bet if you're reading this you are human, and by nature of being categorized as such can sympathize with me in a certain area. Over the course of your life, I'm willing to bet money that you've had at least one week where everything seemed to fall apart. Got your attention yet? Even "outlook" connotes looking outsi...

Hearthside Herald: And So I Run
http://atthehearth.blogspot.com/2014/06/and-so-i-run.html
Where I unload my thoughts in a somewhat organized manner. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30. Monday, June 2, 2014. And So I Run. Working out. It's tough. I love it. I hate it. It's not a competition. But it kinda is. Working out is where you find that you are your own worst enemy. This morning I woke to my brother nudging my shoulder. "Time to go! The plus to getting up early? Life is tough. Suck it up. Not particularly. I can't ...
