1 Year
In August, for the first time in over a year, I had the urge to call you and chat while I was walking home; 8 months after the chances of you picking up the phone were reduced to zero. I have tried to write about Mom many times over the past twelve months and never…

Munich, Frankfurt, Home
Finally – it is time to go home! My last stretch of airports is upon me as I fly from Warsaw to Munich. My flight in Warsaw is delayed by almost an hour and I sprint across terminals trying to catch my critical connecting flight – and I miss it. I stand in line for…

Looking Forward: The next 4 months.
The next four months: a time I both welcome and fear.For the most part, I believe that I will enjoy the next four months – the weather will (hopefully) be summery and show signs of life blossoming everywhere, energies will be high, and a reprieve from school will be mine. However, he is going to be…

ABCs of: Denim, Easter, Food
The day of near denim overdose. (See how I continued the “ABCs” with the words in my title?)There is little to update anyone on during this frustratingly lengthy exam break (12 days between my first exam and my last two exams on the same day), but I thought it would be a nice time to…
