kalemera from Hellas
Hey everyone! Callie Christensen here. Sorry it’s been a couple days since our arrival and I haven’t gotten the chance to update you on our exciting and eventful trip. It’s been a bit frustrating over here in Greece trying to find a handful of free time to sit down at the internet cafe to write […]
Catchin’ Up Time
It has been a while since I’ve posted. I left Europe and arrived safely in Africa, but haven’t been able to post anything. Part of the problem was the program I am on. In my SIT course (South Africa: Multiculturalism and Social Change) we are exposed to many different lifestyles in South Africa. We stay […]
Introduction
Hello Everyone! I’m Jill and I’m getting ready to leave for Prague in just a few days. I thought I would write this first entry so you all can know a little bit more about me. I am a junior, Sociology major and dance minor. I’m pretty involved around campus…here are some activities/clubs that I’m […]
Misfortune
So, since I’ve last posted I spent some more time in England, went to Brussels, Belgium, and am now in Paris. I lost my passport in London…it was most likely stolen. So I went to the embassy and got a new replacement one. The only problem was I lost the visa that was my ticket […]
The London Accent
Well I said I would make one more post before I left for Europe, but that was a lie. I’m sitting right now in an internet cafe in London. You’ll hear about that soon, but first let me tell you a little more about myself. I am a political science major at Gustavus, with an […]
Introducing ME
Why do people say Thursday is the new Friday? It’s not. Thursdays are the “oh man it’s almost Friday but I gotta keep going until tomorrow” day. Thursday is just the last day until it’s Friday. Oh, hi. I didn’t see you there. I’m not sure why you’re reading this…whether you’re a student, alumni, or […]
A bittersweet ending
In continuing with my established practice of writing retrospective blogs, I offer my final post after I have been back in the U.S. for three days. My final days in Scotland were a physical and emotional roller-coaster ride. Near the end of my second to last week in Edinburgh my health started to deteriorate. I […]
Reasons to be thankful
The last few weeks have been absolutely crazy. I completed two more essays, finished my classes, and celebrated Thanksgiving with a traditional American feast. Now, with less than two weeks left in Scotland, I’m starting to feel the pressure of needing to accomplish a million things in a very short period of time. Of course, […]
A taste of Ireland…and haggis
Amazingly enough, I managed to survive last week. I got both of my essays in on time, and I guess I’m about as happy with them as possible. It was definitely a challenge trying to change my writing style to meet the virtually undefined expectations for essays here. I have another essay due in two […]
Picts, travel, and tasty delicacies
As I have just returned from my mid-semester break and actually need to start writing essays, I decided to warm-up a bit beforehand by finally making another post. It’s so hard to believe that the semester is half over already. I honestly don’t know where the time has gone. But I’m enjoying every second of […]
