The semester is over and the campus will soon be empty, leaving only a distant memory of laughter, learning, studying and un-documented fun that Spring 2013 has produced at SHU. So, where does the blog go from here, off into a mystic world where only blogs, can safely enter. It …

I chose Ed’s version of, “To His Coy Mistress,” to write about.  The poem offers a diversion to love by urging the woman to fall into his devices and use time wisely. Ed uses great inflection in reading the poem. This poem has is rather long and begs the question …

I  was actually checking the news for the weather and saw the story about the bombing. I felt like the coverage I followed was a bit vague and I turned it off because not only was it slow to tell the details, but what details it had were hear say. …

What can I say about Ender’s Game, except I can’t stop reading it. In fact I had trouble stopping myself from going further into the story. To me it is interesting how nothing is ever what it seems in a story and Ender’s Game is no exception. While reading this …

I have to say I never get into Sci-fi but this story is actually pretty cool. I have several thoughts as I read how Andrew, a.k.a. “Ender,” was first taken off his monitor. When I heard this,” The doctor was twisting something at the back of Enders head,” I immediately …
