5 random facts, go!
I don’t drink pop. I gave it up about two years ago after I read an article on all of the crazy horrible stuff it does to your body. I didn’t fly on a plane until I was 20 years old and now I have a love-hate relationship with flying. I’ll be terrified up until I get on the plane, and then when I get in the air I don’t want to come down. I’m odd. I love Tucker...

I'm becoming Mr. Rogers...
Grad school is making me into a pacifistic, friendly, semi-philosophical human being. Khakis, cardigans, Keds and all. I kinda like it, I’m not gonna lie.

I'm really proud of my grandma. She's 80 years...
She was very nervous beforehand, so I tried to calm her by telling her what to expect and reassure her that it wasn’t going to be as frightening as she thought. We dropped her and my mom off and you could see her frail hands shaking at the baggage drop off. She called me right before boarding and said “I’m doing the right thing, right? I’m going to be okay, right?” I...

Goals for 2012
Get rid of the excess in my life. I have a ton of books, DVDs, clothes, and other oddities that I very rarely (if ever) use. I’m planning to sell the electronics and books and donate the clothes. If I don’t need it or want it, there are plenty other people out there who might. Get healthy. Being in grad school is busy and hectic and it’s contributed to some unhealthy eating and...

Mug brownies recipe.
Behold, the mug brownie! Instead of paying for Dairy Queen, Sonic, or any other expensive late-night fast food splurges, we make these bad boys. These are the yummy, gooey kind that are great for that late-night chocolate fix (and terrible for your calorie count). If we can make them, anyone can. Here’s the recipe: Brittany and Roy’s Famous Mug Brownies 1 coffee mug...

Recent list of things I would like to do:
(in no particular order) Volunteer for the Texas State Aquarium. Get a huge pile of children’s books together. Donate them to the underprivileged children I test for speech and language every Friday at headstart screenings. Tell the professor that I TA for what I really think of her. Eventually go back to school for a Ph.D. Do Dine With Shamu again. Eat copious amounts of stuffing,...

I’m a Penn State alum. I walked by Old Main every day for class, I knew Willard Building like the back of my hand, I pulled all-nighters studying in the library, I ate ice cream at the Creamery, I helped with THON, I have a million pictures of me at the Lion Shrine, and I made friendships there that will last a lifetime. And it still really bothers me that during this entire scandal, Penn...

Texas has been good to me so far. Grad school is wonderful! After the initial shock of ‘holy crap, this is going to be a lot of work!’, my nerves are settled and I’m happy with my decision. Yes, life has become significantly more busy. If I’m at my apartment I’m reading or taking notes, and if I’m not at my apartment then I’m in class, in the clinic, or...

I am still alive, I promise!
I’m now in Texas! Everything is moved into the apartment, all school things (books, paperwork, financial aid) are taken care of, and in general I’m pretty much settled in. I’m taking a few days to relax at my fiance’s house before going back and tackling grad school. I’ve had a chance to eat fresh fruit, real seafood, and play with the boys (aka the dolphins) at the...

I can't wait to be on the road again.
I’ll be roadtripping with my family for the next few days. We’re leaving bright and early for Texas. It’s a 27 hour car ride, so unfortunately I’ll be away from the Internet for a day. Or two. Or maybe even three. HOWEVER! I do have a Twitter account. If you want to follow along, I plan on tweeting during the trip. My username is blziegler. Feel free to check it out! :)
