The Only People…

One of my job “responsibilities” (if you could even call it that) is to keep up with the blogs our students keep – hardly a responsibility – I love this stuff! Although I’d rather be the one off in the world having this amazing adventure, I think being able to have the vicarious experiences is [...]

actually learning in school

In school, I’ve always been in classes with 30+ students…in college many of my classes had 300+ kids. The classes I took for the Spanish major were a little better at having smaller class sizes…until they turned many of our upper-division Spanish classes into lecture courses, aka turning our previous 30 student class into a [...]

One Of Life’s Lessons – You Can’t Take It With You.

I saw this a few years back, but thank you Zappos for tweeting this link – comes at a good time for me…and many of my peers, as we are right in the eye of deciding which of life’s paths to explore: And yes, I agree, life is very much like a piece of music. [...]

a night in Greece

Crazy.  I pulled out the 56 videos I took during my study abroad and watched a handful – this is one [...]

mexperience reflection

“¡Bienvenidos a la ciudad de México!  En un rato, vamos a . . . “  What the hell is going on?  And what the hell are these people saying?  Why am I the only white person on this airplane?   Nothing anyone says about studying abroad can prepare you.  Jump in, face first.  Mess up. [...]

expecting the unexpected in Mexico

Unas de las razones que me disfrutaba viviendo en Mexico – cada dia, nunca sabia que va a ocurrir.  Como esta desfile que encontremos durante nuestra caminata a la UAQ: en ingles: I think one of the reasons I enjoyed living in Mexico so much, was because on a daily basis, I never quite knew [...]

my mexican bus adventure

Once upon I a time I lived in Queretaro, Mexico. Ali and I were leaving the orphanage where we volunteered by bus to reach our final destination of our cooking class, located on Ezekial Montes. Long story short, we accidentally forgot to get off the bus on Ezekial Montes…no big deal we thought – all [...]

a reflexion after six months of travel

I have been out of the country for the past six months and now am finally back in the states – in Salem, Oregon – to a life which has been so familiar to me during the past 14 years. I have had some remarkable experiences beginning with my orchestra tour to Canada, followed by [...]
