Between preparing for Europe and studying for finals, the last few weeks have been a grind and somewhat unnerving. However, I think the stress of finals have prevented me from becoming so anxious about my trip. My biggest concern going into the Toulouse program is my inability to speak any French. Fortunately, CAES orchestrated a […]

Growing up in a small town of roughly 6000 people in north Georgia, leaving the country for three weeks to stay in France will be quite an adjustment. I feel that the toughest part of this trip will be the language barrier. In different parts of the US, I have experienced a language barrier due […]

So, I am sitting at the airport, and I am tired. I woke up at 3:30 am and drove here, and I’m just tired. However, I am so excited about this trip that I can’t even imagine napping as I wait for departure. My parents are doing seesaw impressions going between “This will be an […]

Last summer, I found myself in a small Kansas town as I worked for the American Hereford Association. This summer, I am heading in a direction that is quite the opposite as I jet off to Romania for a Culture-Centered Communication Study Abroad to document the happenings around agricultural philanthropy in communities. My first […]

As I comfortably relax back home, kicking my feet up on an ottoman, I reflect on how thankful I am that finals are over. Although I no longer have finals on my mind, I can think of nothing else but the date May 11th. That is the day that I’ll be boarding a plane and […]

As I am sitting in the airport gate, waiting for my flight to arrive, I finally feel like I can breathe and relax! It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. Between finals, finding a new place to live, and planning this trip to Toulouse, I feel like I’ve been going nuts! Last night was filled […]

Here I am, 4 days from my trip to Cortona, in the midst of final exams, and I am frozen. Time keeps moving, but somehow all I can do is sit here and pray that I don’t forget something important. This semester has been a whirlwind and this summer will be as well. I will […]
