Linguist or Grammarian or Poet?

Our first love and last love is … Self-love. -Fortune Cookie

I&#039m trying to reconcile my job, my hobbies, and my major. My current projects here at the tutoring center are to edit a book (Yes, an entire book that will be used by students here this fall.) and a manual (Which will be used by advisors all over campus this fall.). Continue reading

To write or not to write.

&#034On n&#039écrit pas la chance qu&#039on a, pas de chansons d&#039amour quand on en a. Voilà pourquoi, mon amour, je n&#039écris rien sur toi. Rassure-toi.&#034 -Zazie, &#034Sur Toi&#034

&#034If I don&#039t get tacos, I&#039ll explode. That happens to me sometimes. –Gir, Invader Zim
