A note on the mid-November slump

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

November, ah! November. What a sweet month. It begins with sugar-induced, post-Halloween paralysis and ends with Thanksgiving indulgence. Days are shorter, mornings brighter and cooler, school days slower in passing. But college applicants: hold fast! This can be the pleasantest of times, but also the deadliest of times if you ...

Imperfect in the Perfect Way

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Some of you may know our dear ninth grade English teacher, Mrs. Willett. She’s the bubbly woman you see around campus that always has a smile stretched across her friendly face. She’s the one that held the door open for you the other day, the one who said good morning ...

Strikeout for “The Office”

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

It definitely would have been easier if the final episode hadn’t been so good. But after five consecutive weeks without a new “Office,” recalling humor from the best episode in Season Four is getting old. Michael’s “That’s what she said” comments have come to a standstill. Dwight’s knowledge of legendary ...
