It’s been a really rough week of school work and no sleep,  and last night I was completely delirious and my functionality was very limited to say the least. I decided to lay down at 8:30 last night ... http://blogs.messiah.edu/philly/2009/11/13/4572/ There's something about sitting in an aesthetically pleasing room, in my bed by the window, facing one of Philadelphia's most eminent streets, Broad Street. I try and concentrate on my screen as my curiosity drives my peripheral vision to catch glimpses of all the speeding cars driving by. I wonder ... http://blogs.messiah.edu/philly/2009/10/18/i-think-i-have-found-peace/ So before I begin writing to you about my experiences this semester at MCPC, I feel it is necessary to give you an adequate introduction in regards to who I am and why I am here. For starters, I will include a relatively important factor that you may want to ... http://blogs.messiah.edu/philly/2009/10/07/hello-im-taryn/ I’ve grown a thick skin for the corporate Liberty 1 and its minions of time travel.

He doesn’t have three rings on one hand that shine with two times the power of the sun forever. He resides ... http://blogs.messiah.edu/philly/2009/07/23/i-95/ Writing this blog is the equivalent of ripping my guts out through the hole in my face. It begins by feeling awkward and strange, somewhat uncomfortable and frustrating, possibly even embarrassing. The strange part is that it gets easier. Once I am snaking my large intestine out through my mouth ... http://blogs.messiah.edu/philly/2009/07/14/a-warm-feeling-location/ Philadelphia stoops are as addicting as cocaine. With beautiful weather and the afternoon sun setting, I swear I must have died and gone to heaven. Heaven could very well be a set of steps accurately placed at the corner of Carlisle and Diamond. I wouldn’t be mad about that. You ... http://blogs.messiah.edu/philly/2009/07/09/the-rusty-bicycle-spoke/ Are you ready for the end of the world? Sometimes I think the only redeeming thing about this city is the iced coffee at Saxby’s on a Monday morning. I couldn’t be more wrong, McDonalds is way better and cheaper. I write this blog out of frustration to create something ... http://blogs.messiah.edu/philly/2009/07/02/saxbys-coffee/ My first assignment: blog about May Term. What seemed like a relatively easy assignment has kept me staring at this computer screen for some time now. I am struggling to correctly translate each feeling I experienced onto paper, er, I mean computer screen? Well whatever it’s called, this is a ... http://blogs.messiah.edu/philly/2009/06/29/beginning-of-the-end/ One thing that I love about being in Philly is there are always options. Whether it is what show to see, where to study, or a new area of the city to explore, the options are endless.
