Right when I got back from Rome I was beating myself up because I didn’t say that phrase once while I was there, so I’m making up for it now! First things first – have you read part one from this trip? If not, click here! I got up bright and early on Tuesday to…

After suffering through an entire semester with not so much as a long weekend, we were rewarded with Innovative Learning Week, which would ideally be used to go to many of the academic events on campus; however I thought I would learn a lot more if I went to Italy!I actually did plan on learning…
So last time I mentioned Chinese in a video, I think I said I could only say that I like coffee, and since then I think I’ve made some progress. I know my tones still aren’t great and my vocabulary is pretty limited, but by practicing for this test, I feel that I’ve gotten a…
I’m still alive! Sorry I haven’t been doing weekly blog posts. I’m getting kind of tired of doing those, especially since I haven’t really been doing anything super interesting since I got back. I’ve had deadlines for uni, so I’ve been kind of busy, but these are the highlights from the last month or so….
This is a little late going up, but I am done with my first semester of university! Actually, when I finished exams I was a little sad, because I realised that’s the easiest semester of uni I’m ever going to have and it’s only going to get harder from here, though, hopefully, I will have…

Photocreds: Nikki I can’t believe it’s week 10 already! This week is the last week of lectures for the semester, and then I’ll have exams! People told me the year would fly by, but I didn’t realize the first semester would go by so quickly. Last week I had my last anthropology lectures, and this…
This weekend my friend Kirby and I caught a plane over to Dublin to be tourists for the weekend! We were welcomed by a beautiful sunset and a lovely evening for exploring the area. We stayed in the Temple Bar area, home to the appropriately named and well-known Temple Bar. It’s the area with the…
This Wednesday was Guy Fawkes Day. I remember learning about it when I took AP European History, but it’s not really a big deal in the US. Here it is a great excuse to shoot off fireworks, burn effigies, and generally be rowdy. I spent most of the evening doing work, but I went out…
