Living life on the road! I’m currently on my way to Ireland. We’ve been traveling non-stop from Italy to France to England to Scotland and now our last stop Ireland. So far my favorite place has been Scotland. Edinburgh was somehow the perfect mix of quaint and a buzzing city. We went hiking up a…

It was only been about a day since I have been home. Actually I really haven’t been to my real home yet. I took a shuttle from Atlanta back to Athens and that’s where I will be for about a week until I finally get to go back to Louisiana and see my family. So…

This is a lot more stressful than I had anticipated. I didn’t realize that I would have to do so much preparation. There is this huge list of things that I have to get in order before I leave and I don’t know if it willl all get done in time. I have to study for finals,…

I have never been more than a few hundred miles from home. Toulouse is about 4500 miles from home, so I’m probably in for a big culture shock. Right now, I’m a little anxious about the trip because I’ve been on a plane 4 times in my life, never over an hour and a half.…
