I’m very excited to share my pictures of and story about Buckingham Palace with you! Before I do that, though, I want to say thank you to those of you who left such nice comments on yesterday’s post! I’m feeling a bit better today, but your comments really mean a lot. So thank you!! 🙂 […]
WELL. It might as well officially be winter here! I absolutely love Michigan summers (I honestly don’t think there is a better state to be in during the season) but they’re just so fleeting. Last week and the week before were full of warm, even hot, days. This week? It’s getting into the 30*s at […]
More Kingston The reason I didn’t put a date on this post is because these pictures of Kingston are from different times throughout the first couple of weeks that I was there. Instead of devoting a post to just a few, I decided to compile them all. If you’re ever in the London area and […]
I think stories like this need to be made more public: Will Ferrell Almost Killed His Co-star Zach Galifianakis with On Set Nut Prank (click for a link to the article) I understand that it must be difficult to work around comedians all day (you never know when they’re serious or joking), but really, an […]
Hello, London! September 15, 2011 Another great thing about being an international student at Kingston was that we had the opportunity to get a guided tour of London that ended with a lunch and a drink at a pub! Our guide, who was actually from Cincinnati, Ohio, was very knowledgeable, and really focused on the […]
The blogosphere is definitely playing mind games on me. Everyone everywhere is cooking with pumpkin, cinnamon, or apples. But really, it’s only halfway through September!! Part of me feels like I should be clinging on to these last beautiful days of summer instead of preparing for fall… ….but who am I kidding? I love fall […]
Hello all! I hope you’re having a great Thursday so far! So I really only have one Thursday Thought to share with you, and that is that I’ve decided to begin a new, short-term project on my blog. It was a month ago yesterday that I left to study abroad in England. It was the […]
We’re halfway through the week! Hooray! This week, I’ve begun my job at the writing center and my weekly five hours in a high school classroom. I’m not allowed to get too detailed on here, but both have been going quite well! Working, pre-student teaching, going to class, doing homework, and working as a study […]
Through my attempts at Meat Free Mondays/vegetarian cooking, I’ve discovered a few things – things that I wasn’t sure about when I began: Vegetarian cooking can be just as satisfying and delicious as any other type. You really don’t need meat (or nuts or eggs – hello, allergies!) to get enough protein into your diet. […]
Happy Saturday, everyone! Fall Saturdays in the U.S. mean football. Today there are two games that my dad and brother are watching on TV. While I don’t mind football, I’m not the biggest sports person. What I do like, however, is the fact that oftentimes, football games will turn into get-togethers, complete with friends, family, […]
