Last week, I had the amazing privilege to cry, laugh, and learn at three amazing events throughout the city – as I wrote about on Monday, my staycation allowed me to really savor the opportunities of NYC again, and these were three of the best ways I knew how. Here’s the recap! Image via […]
Ding-dong! We are now arriving at Union Station, Washington DC. That was my wake-up call en route to the psychology research conference I presented at last Friday. I jerked awake, covered by my giant teal coat, and started fumbling for my bags on the seat beside me, both excited and nervous to be embarking on […]
This weekend, I will be all over the place. First, I am going to the Active Minds conference to present my preliminary research on Asian American women in college and their attitudes towards mental health and counseling. The conference is going to be in DC, so I’ll be getting up very early and coming back […]
(Photo credit: Bernie DeChant via ToshiReagon.com) There were so many amazing discussions and questions that were brought up at the Womensphere conference last week (some of which I encapsulated in quote form last Saturday), but I want to share today one of the earliest and most impacting images I took away from the conference: 200+ […]
You know when you’re on hyperdrive and you just can’t slow down even for a second? For me, that feeling pervaded the tail-end of this last week. This semester, I often feel more real working and attending these events than I do in the classroom. Now that’s not to say that I’m going to gallavant […]
This weekend, I attended SlutWalk NYC. Now, despite my misgivings on the idea of reclaiming the word “slut” (see some great articles on this topic such as this one), I felt like the first message of the SlutWalk was an admirable one: no one should be made to feel they called for sexual violation/violence due […]
This week was all about writing and on-site photography. This week I began writing a novel for Camp National Novel Writing Month, the summer version of November’s amazing race to 50,000 words. It is totally nerve-wracking, but what makes it even scarier is that Camp NaNoWriMo goes on for two months! That means that I’ll […]
For the next two days, I will be attending Seattle Pride supporting queer people as an ally – both the Capitol Hill version in Cal Anderson Park and the citywide version downtown tomorrow. I will be live-Tweeting my escapades and pictures will be forthcoming. If you’re in the area, come see me (I’ll be in […]
Today, I will live-Tweeting from Write-o-Rama, an all-day writing workshop event that raises money for the Seattle-based writing organization Richard Hugo House. Follow my Tweets (@thecowation) or #writeorama for updates from the workshops and advice for writers!
I’m back! Taking a week away has cleared my head a bit and allowed me to do some much-needed research and have some much-needed life experiences. Awesome posts to come, but let’s begin with a story for now: last week, I went hiking at Wallace Falls, so today I present you with a few photographs […]
