TWO WEEKS LEFT!!! My goodness, where did the time go?  Clearly, it has gotten away from me, since I haven’t posted here since the beginning of the semester.  That really is a testament to how much we have been working on our papers, our internships, and spending time decompressing, writing, and…
Still working hard

Kelsey Cole After all the time I've spent studying hard in school and getting good grades, I never really valued the process of learning. But through the Newberry Seminar in the Humanities, I found that the pure desire to learn and to unearth something which has never before been examined is a reward beyond any outside praise or recognition, and comes from the great pride of discovery.
