School Reading Levels

Google has a new feature that uses some computing magic to calculate the reading level of website. Using their advanced search tools you can compare the reading levels of specific websites. I thought it would be interesting to do this to compare some schools. Although the results are somewhat lengthy, I think it would be interesting to highlight the difference between public and private schools:










Interesting huh? Actually, some private schools didn't do so well.





And because I don't know how Google calculates reading level, this means nothing. But, it's still an interesting tool that I've found.

Congratulations Michael Bennet! (Again)

Michael Bennet pulled off what seemed for so long like the impossible. Congratulations to him and his family, staff and campaign on an amazing victory this Wednesday morning! In the end it came down to all the phone calls and door knocks that volunteers did. I look forward to having two great Senators for the next two years because they will be trying times for our nation.

Moving On

The LSAT is finally over for me after a grueling 8 months of studying. I'm moving on to work on my thesis in economics and enjoying the start of the Colorado Avalanche season. There's much work to be done in the near future so look forward to updates as I journey through the rest of this year and onward to law school (hopefully)

Red Rocks Photoshoot

My friend Cara took some pictures of me at Red Rocks over the summer, here are 7 of my favorites.

Congratulations Michael Bennet!

Congratulations to Senator Bennet on winning his primary on Tuesday. I've worked on his campaign since February so I know how hard it is, so a special thanks and congrats out to all of the campaign staff and volunteers! Also deserving of recognition is Ken Buck who fought a hard primary to defeat Jane Norton for the Republican ticket. Dan Maes had an even more impressive, and definitely the most surprising victory that night against favorite Scott McInnis.

On a side note, I was interviewed for a Boulder news paper today about Resident Adviser training so hopefully I'll be in the news soon! Updates to come.

In Memory of Dexter

Unfortunately, over the weekend, my dog Dexter dislocated and fractured his left-front elbow. Because of other health complications, we were forced to put him to sleep on Monday. There are no pictures to share in his memory, but he will be missed.
