Okay, so that last post was a bit sparse. From Tuesday to Friday, I stayed with my friend Siân in beautiful Bournemouth. As soon as I arrived, we went straight to the beach because it was sunny and the forecast for the rest of the week was pessimistic at best. We got there and I … Continue reading Bournemouth Days 3 and 4
It's surprising how busy I've found myself even after classes have ended. I didn't even have the time to blog yesterday when I arrived in Bournemouth! Bournemouth is an amazing place with the kind of sunny beaches you don't expect to find in England. I'm staying with my friend Siân for the week. Nice of … Continue reading Bournemouth Days 1 and 2
Somewhere on the other side of the ocean, my sister turns 17 today. This is to her. From what I hear, you're a lot like I was at your age. Chasing dreams, refusing to leave the clouds when the ground called. But the ground's going to get louder now. September will bring your last year of high school. Adults will be asking … Continue reading Advice For A 17-Year-Old
Oh dear, has it been six days already? My break will be over before I know it! Like every university student, the first couple of days after my break were spent in bed with my laptop, just happy to be done. I allowed myself the indulgence, but I'm trying to pick myself back up now. I'm … Continue reading Spring Break
I had my last university class today. I'm really going to miss this. But I miss home, too, just a little. It's April Fools Day today so I can't help but think of my little brother who absolutely loves this holiday. He was nine years old when I first left, and he'll be twelve when … Continue reading April Fools
What an incredible day. So today I had my second-last class. It was a celebration with food and stuff and people would go up and read poems or bits of their stories or sing songs they wrote, and we all talked and said goodbye and everything. It was great. I loved it, even though I … Continue reading Outstanding Day
It's awkward posting again after a post like that, but I'm glad you all liked it so much. It's now my most liked post of all time, so thank you. Why do I write? It's bizarre to think back to fourteen-year-old me sitting at my desk one November afternoon and picking up a pen with … Continue reading Oh, How I’ve Grown
It's easier to forget that I have another life on the other side of the ocean than to admit I've been neglecting that life. I've spoken more french over the last year than I have spoken to my mom at all. It's only now, with a week of classes left to my entire university experience that … Continue reading Forget Home
It's my second-last week of classes and I'm finally starting to feel that thing that happens when something is about to end. My senses are in overdrive, trying to take everything in and commit it all to memory. One of those things is the room I've been staying in this year. Of the three rooms … Continue reading Cork Board Trifecta
I wonder whether I should just make it official and rename these Bi-Weeklies? Nah. Stephen King said, "Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it." Sorry to disappoint, Mr. King. But although I watch way too much television and internet videos, I did manage to get work done today so yay … Continue reading (#23) Weeklies
