Rejected
Both graduate schools I applied to rejected me. I haven't gotten so much as a callback from any internship or summer job I applied for.

Sorry for the Delay......Thoughts on Spain
So, I haven’t updated in a while. Sorry about that. I kind of had my health go splat for a bit - trouble sleeping combined with low-grade cold combined with stress = mini panic attacks that went on for quite a while. Travis and Kristina were a huge help to me via Skype and IM…I seriously can’t thank them enough. I think I have found a way to ( Read more... ) -
Madrid y Toledo Trip - Part 1
Sorry for the long gap in updating - partially due to being busy and partially due to forgetting. Will update more often, I swear.
In the meantime, let me tell you about my first foray into the world of traveling alone. I spent the past weekend in Madrid and Toledo, and it was awesome. Stayed in a hostel for the first time, went to a bunch of ( Read more... ) -
