    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…

    In a few days I will be leaving the country for a two-month internship in southern France. I’ll be staying with two different families (each for one month) but know relatively little about both of them. I’m sure they will be very friendly, but I’m not sure if they speak any English. I’d actually prefer…

    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…

    Journal Entry, written on March 8, 2016: Today amazed me about Scotland and the culture surrounding it. We sat down with the Pupil Voice Groups from both the Food Production and the Wildlife categories. The kids were so energetic and were so curious about us Americans. They had many different questions about dinosaurs, to temperatures, to Florida and…

    Journal written on Saturday, March 12, 2016: There is a part of me that wishes I could go back and just replay this week, over and over and over again. There is also a part of me that wishes we just had more time- more time to make a difference, more time to change peoples’ lives…

    To you: Going abroad is for thrill seekers, adventure catching people who have completely and utterly lost it. Well, I guess I lost it because I came- I saw- and I conquered Dumfries, Scotland. Whenever I called my parents and told them about going to Scotland, they were a little confused and wondered why because…

    Studying abroad in Uruguay was truly one for the books. I had the opportunity to experience a new culture and become immersed in a country that I had only heard things about in previous spanish classes. The people were always kind (and beautiful might I add). Most people know that I’m a very picky eater,  but the food there…
