Feeling Nostalgic about MGC on a Cold February Night!

So, it has been a loooong time since I have gotten in touch with anyone at MGC but it doesn't mean that the people I met there are out of my mind-out of mind out of sight does NOT pertain to this case, on the contrary, ever present in my thoughts. I hate that I always do this, I move on way too quickly and don't make the effort to get in touch right away-must be my attention problems! I had an amazing time at MGC. I learned so much not only about amazing tools but about myself. The best thing… Continue

We commenced the heck outta that place

For the record, I really didn't enjoy anything about my University commencement. In fact, the only thing that stands out about the commencement was that it was unpleasant.

Maybe the folks who graduated from the Grad Center this past August 16th don't/won't remember any of that ceremony either; I, however, will remember it as e… Continue
