[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I wouldn’t have survived 17 years of schooling had it not been for flashcards. Lots and lots of flashcards. While I pride myself on being a good listener, I am most definitely a visual learner. When it came time to pass my finite…

Today: Better together.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I don’t know about you, but I always feel better when I’m with my mom. She is the kindest, most caring person I know. She’s the type of person who is always looking out for everyone else. I’d be lost without her. With…

Today: Ultimate Bootcamp by the numbers, and then some.
Having stayed up past my bed time for the Bruins’ disappointing exit from the Stanley Cup play-offs, I couldn’t help but groan when my alarm went off. I must have walked around like a zombie last season. Perhaps that’s one silver lining: more sleep for…
