The culture is so rich and diverse and traveling is not very expensive. Although it seems impossible to see all of Mexico during this semester, …
Dos días en México: Two days in Mexico
Español: Antes de partir a España tenía unas ansias de llegar ya a este nuevo país. Ya quería ver el país del cual la gente tanto me comentaba. Iba a ver el país de mayor influencia dentro de mi vida, porque había, en su momento, conquistado tanto a México como a parte del país donde hoy vivo. …

Growing in Faith and Understanding.
Wow, I am already finished with week 7 of my semester off-campus. I knew that I would grow in many ways, but these five were not what I expected. Research is hard. Where do I even begin here. Research is something I always have found interesting. I like learning things I didn’t know before; but, …
Study Off Campus, Do It.
Hey friends, it has been quite some time, and for that I apologize (in hopes that you have actually missed my blog posts). So, let’s catch up. This first month off campus has been a roller-coaster.
