September 1st (State of the Deb)
School: Finally made some progress on the portfolio, and just in time as the quarter will be starting soon. Next step is to contact my professors to see if I can get copies of some of the big papers they never returned to me. I’m in contact with two of my new professors, and have [...]
Where does your path deviate?
Two recent events have me thinking about who I am, and how I got here. First it was explaining a new friend why I don’t drive. See, driving has come up in conversation a lot lately. One friend getting his learners permit, another friend talking about her significant others lack of drivers license. The teenagers [...]

Happy Anniversary Miss Bit
