Public Service Announcement

I'm sorry I have to do this, honestly, its incredibly embarrassing.



In Germany, some USAC students noticed that you could eat horse meat, because there were several butchers in the area that served it. I, being a horse person, was not about to be a big jerk and tell everyone not to eat horse; just because I don't want to doesn't mean I should go all PETA on you.



However, I do not condone directing this craze of eating 'tasty animals' being applied to my horse AT ALL. Leaving comments about eating, trying to eat, or wishing to eat my partner of nearly 8 years is incredibly disrespectful. He has always been there for me; he is my rock. Why am I so offended?

I don't have any desire to eat dog, but seeing as many people have dog, I'm going to roll with it. If I were to say, feel compelled to eat dog and like it, I might jokingly mention that on your facebook wall, or in passing conversation. However lets say you had a dog, a dog like this:
Now, if I posted something like "Mmm tasty dead puppy!" That would be INCREDIBLY insensitive, no? I'd bet you'd be enraged. Who the hell walks up to a person and says, "Hi, your dog looks delicious, I want to eat it" ? NO ONE. Because its RUDE.

I again, apologize profusely for this, the fact I even have to say this is an insult to my true friends, it really is: the fact a friend of mine would even have the nerve to REPEATEDLY do it is worse.

This is officially a warning to all facebook/youtube/twitter/etc. members I am friends with: IF YOU DARE TO BE SO RUDE AND INSENSITIVE AS TO POST INSULTING COMMENTS ABOUT WANTING TO/PARTAKING IN/PLANNING TO PARTAKE IN CONSUMING MY HORSE, YOU WILL BE REPORTED ANS BLOCKED IMMEDIATELY.

Leave as many rediculous "yum horses" as you want, but if you dare you my horse's name or picture ANYWHERE in it, I will have NO tolerance AT ALL.

Thank you.

New Year, new school?

Just before I hit campus, I like to do what I have started to call "shopping around" campus opinion.
This is to say, I decide just for the heck of it, to google goucher college.
Now I don't do this to read what Goucher College itself has put up recently, but rather what the student populace has offered up....and by student, I don't mean Goucher student specifically.
In the same way I sometimes google my full name to see if anything unpleasant has reared its head from my facebook account, I curiously see what has spawned from Goucher.

Welcome Back!



Back home in NJ now, and enjoying being around my horse and friends.
(the above horse is not my horse, its a horse a la Google Images)

Goucher is just over the horizon, and still down a computer and unaware where I will be living, its going to be a LONG year. 

I did finally write a review of my study abroad experience. 

Now its not glam, or "oh my god how AMaaaaaaZING"
But its real, and exactly how I felt.
You can read it here. xoxo

I called it "No Grammar Left Behind", and its important to know that I studied in Track 4.
Some might find it brash, but...honest isn't always pretty.

That being said, take it with a generous helping of salt.

At any rate, I'll be trying to make this more regular as school gets back on track :)
