Five weeks is an odd amount of time to spend in a country. It's too long for someone to keep being a tourist, and not long enough to really begin being a local.

I updated my flicker account again with pictures from my weekend in Paris. We were there on Bastille Day, and it was crazy ( Read more... )

Hola! It's 4:00 am here in Madrid. I just got home, and I have a field trip tommorow at 9:00. Anyways, I've been really busy. I leave for Paris tomorrow ( Read more... )

Everything on the LJ menu is in Spanish, and this keyboard is freaking me out. Anyway, I´m here. I want to explore, so I´ll update later. Okay. Bye.

The next two days should be a blur of car interiors, that recycled-smelling, dry airplane air, and fast food. We leave at 1:30 for Atlanta, then our plane leaves sometime late after that, then we have a layover in Paris, then we get to Madrid, and finally, finally we arrive at the Colegio around 5:00 Madrid time. I did pretty well on the packing ( Read more... )

Maybe the chaos of graduation has worn off, maybe I've gotten tired of reading all day and hanging out with friends all night (unlikely), or maybe I'm just trying to lose myself in my work and forget that this summer (the strangest and most surreal of my life - more on that later) will eventually ( Read more... )

The font page story of the Statesboro paper is about how terrified people are about tommorow being 6-6-06. LAME. And they're talking about it on the radio. I actually heard someone say, "Yeah, 6-6-6 has never happened before and will never happen again." Oh, the pain of the ignorant - news has turned into just one more type of entertainment, ( Read more... )

Good news: I can get credit at Tufts for some of the GSU classes I took. Because I took more classes than I needed to graduate from high school, I have a lot of extra credits on my transcripts, basically a semester's worth. This is a good thing - it means I'll either graduate from college early or have some leeway to explore different subjects ( Read more... )
