Today was good because we went to the ORCHARD. Fantastic. Aaron, Josh, Mandy, Jenna, Courtney and I set out this morning to make the three mile trek to Granchester and engage in polite English activites. Hold up: does something about this group sound familiar? Well, it should because this is the group that went to […]
Last night Josh and Peter told me that chapel was at 8 this morning instead of 8:30 because Preceptor and Cyndy had a meeting with the financial advisor. And I believed them. I believed them till the second I opened the door to the house this morning and smelled the bacon frying. The STREAKY bacon. […]
05.08birthday eve
It’s the eve of my 21st and the festivities have already started. The Roggow’s bought me two shots called “Goldshlager” and they were quite tasty. They tasted like red-hots, and there were shards of ACTUAL GOLD in them. Hilarious. Other than that I had two half pints of cider-black and an Archer’s. why am I […]

Problem is…I’m probably wrong.
But it caused me to get out of bed on three separate occasions last night, go over to my desk, and write out some of the thoughts that were colliding in my head…in the dark. Today I tried to put […]

This weekend Courtney and I embarked on a journey to Scotland. This was my last European adventure, and I was excited to see the country which gave us Christina Mackenzie and Belle & Sebastian. We flew into Glasgow and ended up in Edinburgh mid-afternoon on Friday.
This trip was special because we did not stay at […]

Here’s a big blog update a’comin’:
About a week ago Jenna and I set out for our big Austria/Czech Republic adventure. After 4 hours of attempting to sleep/not sleeping on the cold, hard airport ground, we were able to check in for our flight. The flight itself was pleasant, and we arrived in Salzburg earlier […]
The past couple of days have been good.
I DID go to the University Library. I did. I took my ID card, just like I was supposed to. Guess what the lady told me I was supposed to have (that I did not have)? Passport? Letter from my college (despite my […]
