Dear Readers –
I really enjoyed getting to speak to some lovely rising high school seniors at the Macaulay open house last weekend – especially those of you from my Alma mater, Stuy, and two girls who also had insulin pumps (diabetes bonding, yay!). That was definitely a first. Best of luck, and as always, you can reach me anytime at kt.ohagan@gmail.com. Read more »
It’s 80 degrees outside. 80 degrees! The weather makes me wish it was summer SO bad. It also makes me not want to work on my paper on Education policy in NYC, which is one of my biggest interests. But alas, I must.
It’s been over a month since I posted! I apologize.
Last Thursday, I too was a giant green highlighter, welcoming accepted freshman into the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter. I hope many of you decide to join us here at the best school in the city 🙂
Someone asked a question during one of the student panels about working. Fear not, young scholars, you are allowed to work! Read more »
As a Macaulay student, I do actually enjoy my academic workload, at least, most of it. Usually, completing an essay or project leaves me with a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment, because I’ve actually learned something and done something that I feel is valuable to my education (and perhaps to others as well). But it’s still nice to have projects outside of my academic life that can bring me fulfillment. Today’s a good day, since two projects I’ve been working on finally got off the ground. Read more »

I unfortunately spent my second four-day weekend of the semester (Mondays and Fridays off, I’m the schedule master!) not getting to most of the work I should have. This time I blame Valentine’s Day, which I celebrated on Saturday. It’s a lame excuse, since I still had Friday, Sunday and Monday, but oh well. Read more »
Before I put up my last post on my trip to Sydney, here’s a list of Australian words/phrases that entered my vocabulary while I was down under. Most of them have faded in the weeks since I got home, thankfully!
o  Mate
o  Bloke
o  Cheers
o  No worries
o  Mackies
o  Sunnies
o  Bathers
o  Fair go
Hello Readers! I’ve been back in our grand city for about two days now, and I promise, I will post about my last three days in Sydney ASAP. But while you wait, here’s an interesting tidbit about Australian cuisine. Read more »
So, two thirds of last weekend was spent writing papers. All day Friday and all day Sunday I spent sitting at my computer, typing away. Two pieces of good news: I’m finally done, and I had an AMAZING Saturday in Melbourne. We caught the 9:30 train out of South Geelong so that we would be in Melbourne by 10:30. It’s almost exactly the same as taking the LIRR into NYC. Read more »
In case there’s anyone diligently following this blog, you may have noticed from time to time I use the word “PICTURE” as a placeholder until I actually take the picture and/or upload it. I don’t forget about those, and have slowly been filling them in, and will continue to do so!
To make up for it, I’ll leave you with the following picture, which is the view from the Geelong Library, where I am right now.
Look for my post about my day in Melbourne, coming sometime tomorrow.
Cheers!
