The Global Campus
I’m pursuing research halfway around the world from Japan. Yet I’m still enrolled in campus classes, writing papers, turning in assignments, and taking instructions from my professors.
How does one pull this off? Thanks to Texas A&M University’s mastery of the internet, and faculty innovations that are blurring the boundaries between campus and online education.

I Finally Visited Sweden
I bet every graduate student had a plan to visit Europe at least once before they graduate. I was one of the lucky ones that actually got to do that. The opportunity came through my wife’s conference in Sweden (Perks of having a wife who is also a graduate student).

College Station to SPI
The weekend of the Alabama football game I decided to go home. I left on Thursday and made the six hour drive down to the Rio Grande Valley. One of the things I love about being home is the proximity of South Padre Island. SPI is about a 45 minute drive from my parent’s house so my boyfriend and I decided to have a date night at one of our favorite restaurants there.

Don’t let your ~proposal~ dreams just be dreams!
Hopefully this blog post helps someone else out in the world besides me, because frankly, I’m writing this to help me. That’s right, this is an entirely selfish blog post where I write a bunch of things I know I need to hear, because I’m currently facing the second-year-Ph. D.-daunting-task of writing my proposal.
