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 [...]

Remember that one time I wasn’t an actress?

Remember? Oh wait…that’s now. And this past summer too. BUT, that doesn’t mean I didn’t still try (= This past summer we made a video for our students – the purpose was to help explain the process of obtaining a student visa…something that can seem daunting, yet is necessary to spend time abroad in many [...]

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 [...]

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

So, I’ve decided that my internship has the power to make me quite nostalgic, as I am thinking about studing abroad and travel each and every second of the day.  At the moment, I’m sifting through my Queretaro photos and video that can perhaps be used in collateral…or website content…or anything really.

why I’m in Austin

So, I haven’t said much about what I’m doing here in Austin…at all really.  Partly because my internship does not begin until tomorrow and partly because I’ve been trying to figure…well, everything out.  You know…answer all of life’s questions. No big deal. I came to Austin for a handful of reasons reasons: 1. (I think) [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
