Series

We Are! 

This series contains a collection of stories from my time as an undergraduate student at Penn State University.  I started college in the Fall of 2009 at Penn State Mont Alto Campus which I attended it for two years. Then in my Junior year I transferred to University Park to finish out my degree.  I began college as a history major which seems to be the go to choice for people who don't really have a clue what they want to do and at the end of my Freshman year I switched to secondary education which went well until I started to student teach and realized that I did not like teaching.  At the midpoint of my Sophomore year I made the switch to geography in which I received my degree in May of 2013, at lot happened in four years and this is my attempt to do share the best parts.


Wonderful Words of Webster (WWW) 

26 Letters.  26 Words. 26 Entries.  This series examines one wacky, wonderful, and whimsical word from each of letters of the alphabet.  Chosen at random from a Webster's Collegiate Dictionary Circa 1944, these wanton words will wondrously widen your woeful word-bank and may wax your wisdom along the way.


Keys and Legends 

Being the geographer that I am there is a special place in my heart for maps.  Call me a map-nerd, maphead, goegeek, the name is not important but the fact remains that I could sit and examine a map for hours on end and that's just a standard, run of the mill, everyday map.  Put an antique map, interactive map, or globe in my hands and its game over (cancel my appointments for the afternoon).  Keys and Legends is the part of the blog where I embrace my mappish side.  In this section I share new maps that interest me, discuss old maps that shaped history, and try to explain some of the crazy science behind representing a 3-dimensional planet on a 2-dimensional sheet of paper.  Map projections and coordinate systems anyone???


Biblical Bosses

Having attended church and Sunday school for most of my life and having read the Bible to completion numerous times it would stand to reason that I would have an exhaustive knowledge on all things biblical.  Yet, this is not the case.  I frequently find myself reading about individuals and situations that I feel as though I have never heard anything about.  This series is dedicated to them, the lesser known heroes, and extraordinary events that may not get the airtime of  Red Sea partings or Kings but whose inclusion in the good book is just as extraordinary if only lesser well known.
