I have had so many problems with my Letters to America login, and am now finally again able to post. So I have to write twi posts. Papers are due, exams before exams, studying, and projects. School is getting hectic, and you know whats a great idea for that? To travel for an entire week…
Time flies
I cannot believe how fast this time has gone by. My parents visited last week for Thanksgiving which was really nice. I thought it would be a lot more difficult to say goodbye to them, but it was actually not too because I remembered how little time I have left until I return home. I…
Thanksgiving in another country
This was my first time ever being away from home and my family for thanksgiving, and any big “family” holiday for that matter. Which was kind of weird not being with them. Also thanksgiving is just an American holiday so it was weird going to class on a holiday that i usually spend the whole…
times running out
My time in London has absolutely flown by. I can believe we have just under a month left here until its time to go back to the USA. Which I am not complaining about going home. I’m actually excited to go home. I feel like time away from home makes you appreciate home and family…
The Final Countdown
There’s only a few more weeks left and although I’m anxiously trying to make sure that I get to do everything I wanted to do in Japan, I’m still incredibly happy to be coming home. There’s a lot of things that I’m going to miss here, but I feel like Japan is like a second…
Paris
This coming Friday, I will leave for my third weekend trip to Paris. The first trip I took was in October, as part of a field trip with my European City in Lit and Film class. We visited the Bonne Marche department store, Gallery Lafayette, Musee D’Orsay, and the Marais District of Paris, where we…
Letters of Future’s Past

The semester is broken up in such a strange way for American students studying abroad at Lancaster; our orientation program was a month long, there’s a two-week break, and then the actual term is only ten weeks. It really is starting to feel like…
Back to Back
Two weekends in a row of international traveling and one more coming up! Man, studying abroad is a rough life 😉 First weekend: Lisbon, Portugal First off, Portuguese is nothing like Spanish. As soon as I stepped foot in Portugal, I had no clue what anyone was saying to me. We landed in Lisbon Friday…
To the Springs!
Sitting in a pool of hot coffee, I let my body relax and enjoy the marine pool before me. We traveled to Hong Kong, Macau, Zhongshan and Zhuhai. It was amazing. The last day was the most relaxing. We went to a hot springs resort. I’ve never been to a hot spring, so I was…
Home Sweet Home
I’ve been home for a couple weeks now and it feels great to be back. Luckily I never had to deal with jet lag (I think it was because I was so excited to see my friends and family). I have found it to be weird for me to adjust to all of this free…
