Hola Chicos! I am happy (and sad of course) to say that today is officially my half way to home point. I have been in Spain for just over two months and I’ll be home in about two months. I have conflicted feelings because of course I miss my friends and family, but I know […]

One thing I learned while at UW-Stevens Point–and I guess not really about life–is how to apply for scholarships. I have put myself through college the last four years (plus interims!) so I had to apply to countless scholarships.

Last weekend, I took a day trip down to Dover and Canterbury to see some famous historical sites. The one that really caught my attention was Dover Castle. First off, it is huge!

This past weekend was a new adventure for me as it was my first time traveling outside England. A few of my friends and I decided to spend the weekend in Ireland and it was a good learning experience. After a three-hour train ride and another three-hour ferry, we made it successfully to Dublin. This […]

I’ve always known I was a nerd, but now I have come to embrace the geek side of me. (As weird as it sounds, there is a difference between the two.) This year more than any other, I’ve found myself using technology more and more in every aspect of my life. In the classroom, I […]

Before heading overseas, I made sure to do a lot of research on the famous sites and attractions that London had to offer. The few that really stood out to me, and I’m sure almost everyone knows these sites, are the London Eye, Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. After having a chance to visit all […]
