Excellent article, mkfox (cycle12 - 5/7/2007 8:46:13 AM)

Advice on better diaries (Rob - 5/7/2007 10:13:06 AM)
Thank you for directing us to this great article. 

Also, some constructive advice on writing diaries for everyone:  just cutting and pasting from articles without additional commentary or analysis is discouraged at Raising Kaine, and could lead to the deletion of such diaries because of copyright concerns.

Thanks,
Rob

H?ng started her college education at Tulane University in New Orleans but didn't find the curriculum she was looking for. So the girl from the warm weather packed her suitcase and headed to the frigid north, to the University of Michigan and its East Asian studies program.

Now, to hear her break into a rousing rendition of "The Victors"!
