One of my absolute favorite days in Costa Rica was the very first Saturday we were there. Our professors planned a very busy and full day for us full of adventure. My fellow students and I were expected to be at ICADS, our school, at 8:30 that day. Once we arrived, we boarded our bus and took off for the Irazu volcano! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! Absolutely breathtaking. The crisp air was very cold, but the ground itself was warm from… Read more »

Hey everybody!! I just wanted to announce that I will be away from Internet until the first week of August…. …Because I’m going to be studying abroad in July!!! *Squeals!* I’m going to a Latin American country with a group from my college.

As a Spanish major, I’m really excited… Read more »
It’s my first official day of college. I sit at my desk in my dorm room working on a Spanish assignment. Distractedly, I fiddle with my pencil. The college group at the First Baptist Church had passed out fliers for a back-to-school part, and they were going to watch The Lion King and eat ice cream. I really want to go. I love The Lion King. Besides, it’s my first day of college. I should go do something fun. I… Read more »

Silly is better than serious because… 1. Silly is better than serious because sometimes your parents want you to take a “cute-Easter-Sunday-picture” with your brother, but you really don’t feel like taking a normal picture. 2. Silly is better than serious because sometimes you and your friends want to lean dramatically from a lamp post…at night…after a movie… 3. Silly is better than serious because sometimes you just feel like dressing up like sailors and making the bathtub be a boat…. Read more »
Bittersweet. That’s how I’m feeling right now. My freshman year of college is over. I can’t believe how fast it went by… Seems like just yesterday was move-in day. But it wasn’t yesterday. It was nine months ago. So much has happened during this school year. I’ve learned some, grown some, and made some friends. And I’m going to miss them terribly. When my first semester ended, I was really excited. It was Christmas time, and on top of that,… Read more »
Confession: I’ve been meaning to do a dorm tour all semester… but either I would forget, or be too busy, or my room would be messy… And considering that school ends in a week, TODAY IS THE DAY FOR THE TOUR!! Here we go: So here’s my bed. This comforter apparently was a very popular find at Bed, Bath, & Beyond, as I have seen several other girls with this same bed set. But hey, it’s cute, so oh wells….

Big. White. Tent. Middle. Of. Campus. If that won’t get someone’s attention, I don’t know what will. (Well, maybe an earthquake, or a new Disney movie, but just go with me here.) But anywho… last week was my university’s REVIVAL!! Revival is an awesome event that takes place in a big white tent, Monday night-Wednesday night. I was totally only planning on going Monday night, as I had other things happening Tuesday and Wednesday… But after the first night I… Read more »
