It was October, 2016. I sat in my kitchen, home for the weekend or for October break or some reason or another; in any event I was home, and much as I had before I was contemplating my future. After all it wasn't too long ago that I was sitting at the same exact table … Continue reading All We Have To Decide

Farewell, Edinburgh
Since I have a bit of time – roughly seven hours to be exact – I felt it a good opportunity to start work on this, the penultimate blog. There really isn’t much more to say as far as adventures go. For all intents and purposes my time for new experiences came to a close … Continue reading Farewell, Edinburgh
Finding the Family Name
Hey y'all, I have very little time to get this blog out so that there is one this week, but I committed to posting once a week unless I absolutely couldn't, so this one may and probably will be a little bit shorter. The reason being is that tomorrow (5/12) I have to get up … Continue reading Finding the Family Name
The World Between Spain and Me
Welcome welcome one and all to my account of one of the most eventful, exhausting, and outgoing trips of my entire life - my journey to SPAIN! I came to the realization on day 8 that it would be an insane amount of effort to write about every little detail that occurred during each day … Continue reading The World Between Spain and Me
Let’s Talk

Recovery Week
Hey y'all, welcome back! First and foremost, let me say that this week's post is a little lacking in compared to previous ones, reason being that, frankly, last week's post took a ton out of me. For to edit, sort through pictures, and write for upwards of 10 hours sapped a lot of literary energy … Continue reading Recovery Week
Tempting Fate
Hey y'all, this week wasn't bursting at the brim with stories to tell, but the ones that did occur were quite brimming with detail nonetheless. To be honest, I am much more excited for next week's post, in which the final section should hopefully explain why. For this week though, I delved deep into historic … Continue reading Tempting Fate
Expecting the Unexpected
It's week two of twenty during my time abroad. By now the jet lag has passed, but that does not mean that I may stop to rest. No, no; the fact that orientation is over and my classes are set means that it is full speed ahead for my academics and my immersion here within … Continue reading Expecting the Unexpected
