Occupy Wall Street

Hey all,

As a matter of course (i.e., seven classes of homework), I'm a little behind in my posts. I'll be linking my twitter feed up to the blog, so you all will have access to what I've been passing along when I get short breaks!

Please watch this short clip:



Now is the time for us to get together, to get a dialog going between the peoples of this world and the governments that claim to "represent, defend, and protect" the peoples of this world!

Dear Russia

I must apologize to my readers...I promised you all a number of poems about Russia (the winning country of my stats poetry competition) over the course of July and I have only provided you with one poem displaying my vague knowledge of Russia. I hope you will forgive a poet who falls back on the old cliche of life getting in the way of good intentions.

That said, I hope you'll forgive me. There will be more poems with Russia as subject, fear not! They arrive at unannounced intervals...I'll put them up as I create them!

As always,
in peace,
Monique

Fall 2011 Classes Begin

I'm excited to say this semester is now underway. I've got Latin again and German this year which just pleases me to no end. I have a new Latin professor and I'm interested in how he will differ from my prior instructor(s). BTW: I'm psyched about physics and psychology (forgive me). Senior Sem & Tutorial for English plus an Independent Study (class I forgot about). That, my friends, is what you can call a "full load". I do feel confident (today), but talk to me again around finals and we'll go from there.

I still owe my apologies to my Russian readers, I promised multiple poems that I have thus far failed to produce. I stand by my vow to deliver, though I must graciously decline promising date and time. Look for them. They will pop up when you least expect it.

As always my friends and foes...

Merry Meet!
