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…

Remember the calm before the storm? Yeah, this week was the storm. On Wednesday I went to the History Society Ball. It was so much fun getting dolled up and having a fancy evening at the Balmoral Hotel. The next morning I had my last lecture of the semester and my exam for Chinese. That…
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…
This week was a really fun week! I had my first (and, luckily, only) essay of the semester due on Monday, so I had a lot more free time this week than I have had in the past couple of weeks. I used some of that time to start reviewing for my Chinese test at…
Based on the title of this post, you might think this week was really fun and interesting, but it really wasn’t. Most of it was just average with some good and bad stuff. And if that didn’t convince you to read on, I don’t know what will! This week we had Nikki’s high school best…
On Friday after my morning class, I decided to take advantage of my new Historic Scotland pass and I went over to the castle for the first time. I ended up feeling a little overwhelmed by the work I was procrastinating by going there, so I didn’t stay long before I went back to my…
This whole week I knew I wanted to go out of town on Sunday, but I didn’t exactly figure it out until yesterday. I made plans to meet back up with Natalie at the end of her trip in Glasgow. I used this as my reason to go, but I spent most of my time…
I’m just going to leave this here… Last week I didn’t post anything because the highlights of my week were getting a tweet favorited by Michael Erard and going to a 3-hour talent show conducted entirely in Mandarin Chinese. Proof! This week has proved to be significantly more interesting, so I thought I would share…
