I’ll be back in 10 minutes (more or less). I’ve been home for about a week now. It’s weird, to say the least. Everything is the same, my house has to many cats, my dad is obsessed with a new (ugly) car, my nephew is going through his terrible twos, and my grandmother is drinking […]
For the past semester, I’ve spent every Tuesday morning teaching English to a class of fourth graders at a local elementary school. Anyone who knows me, knows just how comical this is. This being because 1. I don’t like kids and 2. Kids don’t really like me and 3. I don’t wake up before noon. […]
There is something I need to admit right up front. My only expectation I had for Rome never was fulfilled. I was not discovered by a Roman back stabbing pop star as an Italian singer’s doppelgänger and forced to play a sold out concert at the colosseum. But I guess Rome was still pretty cool. […]

The first thing I learned from my over zealous cab driver in Dublin was that “It is a mortal sin to touch another man’s pint.” Bad luck they say. As I’m sure you’re aware, the Irish know a thing or two about luck. Well let’s just say I must’ve touched another man’s pint because the […]
Note to self: Never drink coffee before siesta. I don’t care how tired you are, being awake during siesta could not possibly be more boring in Spain. Anyways, since I am up while the rest of Spain dreams away, I’ve decided to write about my past few days here. Unfortunately, I do not have another […]
I am about to study abroad in Spain. Well crap, I guess I should have read those 50 abroad emails the school sent to me this summer. Really, not my best choice. I am a junior in college – Accounting major and Spanish minor. No, I don’t love numbers and when people ask me “Se […]
