re: Winter Retreat
This past week I was having a conversation with Nina, and she was telling me about how she was planning on not checking her Facebook until next Wednesday. Why that specific date? Because she said people would stop talking about retreat by then.

I can’t believe it’s already Thursday, this semester is flying by before my eyes.
Last night, I bit the bullet and bought cankerbane.com along with another URL for my personal website. I’m hoping to set up, design, and establish cankerbane as my personal blog on the Internet when I have more time.
But that’s the thing right now. There just doesn’t seem to be any...
