Monday, July 25 The weather was gorgeous today. High 70’s and sunny, which is like the apocalypse for SPB. Kylie and I decided to take advantage of the rare warmth and go walk around after class. We stopped to see the largest Mosque in the city. If you’re like...

I’ve had the opportunity to travel a lot over the past four months, and remarkably most of my transportation to and from these places has been smooth and uneventful. Sure, I’ve had to sprint across a train station to catch my connection and I’ve sat on a plane on the...

From a very young age, I was taught that the American flag is a symbol of the United States, something to be honored and respected. The “star spangled banner” is truly a representative of freedom, democracy and everything that the U.S. stands for, and it is not...

Here we are. Three months after the day I originally started (or tried to start) classes, we have finally made it to the last week! Honestly time has flown so much. I really do intend to write a more heartfelt reflection on my time abroad, so look for it soon, but for...

Alright, this will just be a continuation of my last post, but don’t worry this one is significantly shorter. I applaud anyone who actually read the novel that was my last blog post. I’m turning into Dostoevsky–lots of words without really saying...
