I've found out there are lots of ways to spend your time in graduate school. It's possible you could be devoting your time to studying for exams, quizzes and group projects. Right now, you may be spending your time preparing your body for a tropical spring break trip. You could even spend some time working at a job or hanging out with friends. Yet, what I've discovered as a graduate student is that I spend a lot of my time on 'things' that waste my time, especially when it comes to studying.So instead of wistfully writing about ho

Last week, I was solely focused on anything that was mid-term exam & project-oriented.

I am sure that everyone is well aware of the local overnight internet sensation, Ted Williams. Less than 3 weeks ago, he was begging for dollar bills at the intersection of Hudson and I-71 in Columbus, OH; less than 3 weeks ago, he lived in a make-shift tent behind a rundown gas station; and less than 3 weeks ago, no one - and I mean, NO ONE - knew who he was or cared, for that matter.Now, if you aren't familiar with the story, here is the long and the short of it: a local beat reporter for the Columbus Dispatch interviewed Ted and his "golden voice" and posted it online.
