Tales from a Cheeky Yank. Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Late for Class.Oops. So to start off my day I accidentally slept in, got locked out of my building during a downpour after throwing out the trash, then I had to wait in line at reception to be told about a little button that makes everything work, and then I had to catch the 1:15 bus to be at class at 1:30. As a result I was 5 minutes late to class. Oops. Monday, September 29, 2008. First Day of Class. It was a p...

Tales from a Cheeky Yank: May 2009
http://mon22nick.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tales from a Cheeky Yank. Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. Friday, May 29, 2009. Plans for this upcoming week include hunting down my supervisor and getting the status of my Ethics Submission for my final dissertation project. I can’t formally recruit any companies or organizations until after that’s approved. But if any companies would like to volunteer their employees to take my Work-Values Questionnaire, let me know! Now I’m going to get ready for a nice day out and taking it easy. To amuse mysel...

Tales from a Cheeky Yank. Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. Friday, December 26, 2008. Why Did the Deer Cross the Road? And a Happy New Year! I hope everyone had fun stuffing themselves with homemade baked goods, ripping open brightly colored packages, and maybe getting a little tipsy. While this is all well and good for you, I decided to forgo all of that and come up with something a little different this year. So after wandering around, seeing these strangely haunted-looking buildings:. Then I saw ...

Tales from a Cheeky Yank. Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. Sunday, November 30, 2008. Christmas Vacation is Calling Me. I can't wait for Christmas vacation! Although I need to write a paper by the 10th and I'm dragging my feet. At one point this week or the next I'm going to have to stop researching for the paper, and eventually write it. Getting started is always the most difficult. But once I've started, interrupt me at your own risk. But I figure they knew British etiquette better than I and left.

Tales from a Cheeky Yank: June 2009
http://mon22nick.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tales from a Cheeky Yank. Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Today was one of the best days I've had since coming to England. The first reason for this is that I was notified I have passed all of my courses from the second semester. All that stress and hard work has paid off and now I can just concentrate on my last project and a few loose ends. Two very good reason that this is a wonderful day. Monday, June 15, 2009. Pixie Lott. (Love the name, by the way). 5 Buy train ticke...

Tales from a Cheeky Yank. Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. Thursday, January 29, 2009. My Name is Not What I Am. Thank you very much. Since coming to England, I've had more than a few comments about the origins of my name. Today was the strangest yet. Hi, my name is Monica.". Moe-nee-cah. Sounds like an Indian name." Says the Indian girl. Here's a description for any who may have doubts about where the name comes from. Usage: English, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian. Sunday, January 25, 2009. So I had...

http://mon22nick.blogspot.com/2009/08/step-one-done.html
Tales from a Cheeky Yank. Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. Monday, August 31, 2009. Today I had 3 things due: re-submit a paper for a class I flubbed last Fall, consent forms from my interviews, and the rough draft of my dissertation. However, I had one LARGE obstacle to completing any of this: Today is a Bank Holiday. Now you can understand that my tolerance level for idiocy is very low right now. Just saying.I'm getting a degree from nitwits apparently. Get down with your bad American girl self!

Tales from a Cheeky Yank: April 2009
http://mon22nick.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tales from a Cheeky Yank. Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. Friday, April 24, 2009. We went to London last and it's my favorite city of all. It may have something to do with all the bookstores and tea shops per square mile in the city. It was not the greatest weather, but it wouldn't be London, without getting a bit wet. England's Throne: (not very impressive looking in my opinion, but the history is). Poet's Corner (Memorials and Burials of famous artists, musicians and writers). I ran into my frien...

Tales from a Cheeky Yank. Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. Saturday, March 21, 2009. Off to Paris, Rome, and London…. So I shall blog again when I get back. Ta! Monday, March 9, 2009. These next two weeks I will be crazy busy. Right up until Easter Break, when I fly to Paris to meet Mom. Or at least try to find her in the airport. That will be a fun day. Not even realizing that if I did better that meant I got a higher medal. Sometimes my brilliance amazes even me. Then, in the group competition, th...

Tales from a Cheeky Yank. Non est ad astra mollis e terris via. Wednesday, October 29, 2008. Party, Weird Weather, and Archery. I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but I thought I would post when I had something interesting to share. Saturday I was looking forward to the Robin Hood Festival. However, I didn't feel well when I woke up and then I looked outside and it was raining. Needless to say conditions were not the best to romp around outside. I did much better and even scored a ten! I got so...
