#14: Find Uma Thurman’s old house I had heard a while ago that Uma Thurman is originally from right here in Amherst, Massachusetts. I remember hearing this and thinking about how cool it would be to see her old house. She’s always been one of my favorite actresses; Kill Bill Vol. 2 is my favorite movie […]
I love wine. I love local things. So I figured, wine-ot?
“Salamander Crossing” really stood out to me. It was right up my salamander alley.
#15: Go to the one of the restaurants in Massachusetts I need to go to before I die (http://www.onlyinyourstate.com/massachusetts/restaurants-die-ma/) Happy Summer everyone! I’ve been slacking a bit on my list this year. Usually at this point in the summer I’ve done a few things. School ended for me on Tuesday, yesterday was reserved for sleeping, so […]
Hi guys! Happy almost end of Spring. This will be my 8th year (whoa) (it could be the 9th year, I don’t know) doing my summer goal list! I’m a little late in creating it this year, usually it’s done by April. As usual, this is just a draft and I’ll be adding on as […]
#13: Have a skipping squad meet in downtown Northampton I run a very tiny (but fun!) skipping club in Western Massachusetts called the Pioneer Valley Skipping Club (formally called Samantha’s Skipping Squad). I started it in late March and was totally inspired by Michelle Joni‘s skipping club. I read an article on her adult preschool and decided right then […]
I live on a dead end street in a small town (now a city, but no one really calls it that) in Massachusetts called Easthampton. I’ve lived in the same house in the same street my whole life (minus a few months I lived in the neighboring city of Northampton). At the end of my street, there’s a stoplight and beyond the stoplight is a small park consisting of three picnic tables, a spigot, and some old cinderblocks for a fire. It’s right on the side of Route 10 (see last post), and kind of sticks out since it’s in a busy area/intersection. I hardly ever see people there and if I do it’s someone alone and on a lunch break.
The park has a little sign that reads:
Katherine Root Wayside Park
For a while now I’ve been wondering who Katherine Root was/is. I turned to the infamous “You Know You’re from Easthampton When….” Facebook page and posted this, knowing I’d get some answers:
Time for this year’s summer goals list! I have a lot of fun and challenging things planned for this year and I’m excited to share all of them with you. 🙂
#4) Get A in Class Since being at my current university I’ve been having to do something I never thought I would ever do: take summer classes. I never ever ever wanted to do summer classes because, as you know, I cherish my summers and don’t want to waste them by doing any sort of […]
# 21) Make my graduation cap As I mentioned a few posts ago, I was allowed to walk at this year’s graduation commencement due to my GPA and the fact that I only have practicum left. I went to the school store and bought my cap and gown ($$$) and realized that I’ve never been to […]
