It's been a busy week. Since my finals were over with almost three weeks before I go home it provided me with the perfect opportunity to get a last few country stamps on my passport. One last hurrah so to speak. The concept was simple, though daunting on paper: 5 days, 5 flights, three countries … Continue reading The Last Hurrah

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
Like A King
Well... now that was a nice little break. It feels like ages since I've put pen to pap- er... fingers to the keyboard. It feels even more strange that I have less than a month here in Europe.

S.P.Q.R.
This week's blog is going to be exclusively dedicated to my trip to Rome. Backlogged stories will appear in next week's edition. Since I have a monumental amount of pictures and video footage, along with a plethora of thoughts on my journey, I felt it best to just make this an exclusive post.

Traveling, Learning, Dancing, and Swearing at the TV
I wasn't really sure coming into this week if I would have an abundance of stories to tell, but thankfully whatever powers that be seem to want to give me all I can handle, which is completely O.K. I saw and did some interesting things and had a blast all the way through. Hope you … Continue reading Traveling, Learning, Dancing, and Swearing at the TV
Encounters of (Out)Worldly Natures
Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by! It's 5:07, and I'm just finishing up this post to go out. If you haven't checked out my earlier post this week, I highly recommend you do, as it catalogs my first hand experience of going to a political rally. Though that may have been the most interesting thing … Continue reading Encounters of (Out)Worldly Natures
