Daily Hungarian Lesson (will not be a daily thing)

I was reading somewhere that Hungarians have a similar saying to our "no use crying over spilt milk." It is, "more was lost at Mohacs." I'm not sure the history but I think it dates back to the 1500s and must have been referring to some battle...I asked my English Honors advisor, who is Hungarian, and she said it is pronounced "Mohahtsh," with the accent of the first syllable, and that it is a saying that symbolizes Hungarian optimism.

New Podcast

Simon and I decided to do a podcast.  Here's a rough (and I do mean rough) cut of episode one: http://thegreatergoodpodcast.blogspot.com/.  Let us know what you think. :)

EFY Continued


So I found out where I am going this summer! I am going to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Nauvoo!! I am pretty pumped the only down side is that there are all in the month of July so I will be very busy that month.

Graduate School Acceptance!!!!

Hey so I know I already texted everyone, but I just wanted to write and say how stoked I am that I've finally been accepted and offered an instructorship position! I've been waiting since Dec. when I turned in my application, and I just found out today.

So this means, on top of my job with Student-Athlete Services, I will also be attending grad. school classes and teaching two sections of ENGL 1010 on campus this Fall and Spring. Next year, I will most likely be teaching ENGL 2010 courses. And the best part is, they are paying me pretty nice and offering me some health benefits, which I will sorely need after May 3rd...

Woo hoo!!!!!!!

Cute Pics

I think we've all seen these but I thought I'd post them here anyway. :)

Targhee Rules!!!!!



This is by far the coolest place I have ever ridden! Note the Teton Mountains in the background and the fresh snow all about... :)

Cool stuff on Google Maps

Simon found this on a website called The Awesomer and thought we should share it with you guys. :)  Boneyard
