There Is No Spoon: Running for Life
http://nospoonformillennials.blogspot.com/2009/09/running-for-life.html
There Is No Spoon. A Millennial Grows Up. Sunday, September 6, 2009. Seven weeks from today, I'll be running the 34th annual Marine Corps Marathon - my second time in that race and my third marathon in a year. After last year's MCM, I was proud of myself and glad to be done, and had no intention of running another marathon anytime soon. A week later, I started looking at marathon calendars online to figure out when my next one could be. Visit my campaign at mycharitywater.org/runningforlife. 1 is all it ...

There Is No Spoon: Found in Translation
http://nospoonformillennials.blogspot.com/2010/07/found-in-translation.html
There Is No Spoon. A Millennial Grows Up. Friday, July 30, 2010. Is it just me or does 2010 seem to be speeding by? I've just gotten my head wrapped around the fact that it's summer, and all of a sudden, August is two days away. One thing I realized I haven't done, however, is explain my choice in courses of study. My choice of school. A light blinked on in my head. This is translation? What was I worried about? How does what's different relate to what I know and understand? I'm an accidental direct mark...

There Is No Spoon: What's next?
http://nospoonformillennials.blogspot.com/2009/12/whats-next.html
There Is No Spoon. A Millennial Grows Up. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Even though I'm not a fan of making resolutions on New Year's. The end of the year is still a good time to look forward, right? As a result, there's a new guidebook on my shelf this month, and it's called The Rough Guide to Australia. And I'll be adding Living and Working in Australia. And In a Sunburned Country. Thanks big brother and sis-in-law! To the travel shelf when I get back to DC next week.) Why? Somewhat surprisingly, Macqua...

There Is No Spoon: Food for Thought
http://nospoonformillennials.blogspot.com/2010/06/food-for-thought.html
There Is No Spoon. A Millennial Grows Up. Thursday, June 10, 2010. I'm in California this weekend - in Davis now, for Gina's graduation from vet school (! And off to Manhattan Beach, my hometown in Southern California, on Saturday to see family and friends. So it seems like a good time for a quick "Food for Thought" update! Here's what's on my mind this week:. The Art of Non-Conformity. S Chris Guillebeau has a great post up today about t. Is the sometimes enormous cost of traveling. Many people don'...

There Is No Spoon: Lending a hand up
http://nospoonformillennials.blogspot.com/2010/04/lending-hand-up.html
There Is No Spoon. A Millennial Grows Up. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Lending a hand up. It's no secret that I'm a sucker for a good cause. I love (and, conveniently, work in! The non-profit sector, and admire the work done by NGOs worldwide. Why? There's probably a lengthy explanation involving my psychological and sociological makeup, but basically the answer is "Because I enjoy it." I like people, I like making people happy, helping them in some way makes me. If you're unfamiliar with Kiva or microfina...

There Is No Spoon: It's time to move on
http://nospoonformillennials.blogspot.com/2010/05/its-time-to-move-on.html
There Is No Spoon. A Millennial Grows Up. Monday, May 17, 2010. It's time to move on. I love this city, but it's time for me to leave. It's true that the Metro has been hitting more rough spots in service more frequently throughout the past year, which leads to jammed platforms, trains that bear more of a resemblance than usual to sardine cans and irritable commuters. And tourist season started in March, which always adds to city inefficiency. I'm still not entirely convinced that "granola" is an accurat...

There Is No Spoon: Lifestyle envy
http://nospoonformillennials.blogspot.com/2009/07/lifestyle-envy.html
There Is No Spoon. A Millennial Grows Up. Thursday, July 2, 2009. I have a raging case of lifestyle envy. I'm in the Seattle area on vacation for the second year in a row and last year's thoughts of "Wow, wouldn't it be great to live here? Have not faded - in fact, they've gotten stronger. And then there's Seattle itself, which I could rave about for approximately the next ten years, so I'll skip to my favorites: Pike Place Market. With its deliciously fresh (and local! You start now. Get out. Li...Great...

There Is No Spoon: Guilty Pleasures
http://nospoonformillennials.blogspot.com/2008/12/guilty-pleasures.html
There Is No Spoon. A Millennial Grows Up. Monday, December 8, 2008. Everyone has their guilty pleasures. Among the most common are eating ice cream straight out of the carton, cookie dough, Facebook stalking, hitting the snooze button and curling up under the covers for another five minutes and, for guys (correct me if I'm wrong on this one), walking around in their underwear. This weekend, I added a new one to the list: Twilight. I tore through the first two books, Twilight. So that's probably irrelevan...

There Is No Spoon: Twittering (or is it Tweeting?) for Change
http://nospoonformillennials.blogspot.com/2009/03/twittering-or-is-it-tweeting-for-change.html
There Is No Spoon. A Millennial Grows Up. Tuesday, March 17, 2009. Twittering (or is it Tweeting? I think we all know that social media is addictive. Facebook. Is the college student's "time suck" and constant distraction. LinkedIn. Is full of questions on a myriad of topics, all just waiting to be answered. Care2. And then there's Twitter. I've had a Twitter account for almost a year ( twitter.com/jessalynp. And have vowed to dedicate a few minutes a day to tweeting.at least professionally. With Twitter...
