I can’t believe that I’ve been in France for a week now. Actually, I can because the first few days were slow creepin’ like an ‘84 Caddy rolling through Compton. Not having internet in our residence is brutal, but the rumour is that we be online as of 1 October. 19 more days!! For now, [...]

more later.

I’ve been really lazy about logging in to update. Truthfully, there hasn’t been a lot to update about other than the fact that it’s crunch time and I don’t want to crunch. I am down to a week. A WEEK. That’s just… nuts, this has been the fastest summer ever. Part of me, a big [...]

I can’t believe it’s down to three weeks. I feel like there is still so much to do and not nearly enough time to do it all. It’s funny how time just slips away so easily. I’m getting excited though, and now that I have my visa, I don’t have anything to worry about really. [...]

So, after a bit of a rocky experience, I am sitting in JFK airport, in the most remote terminal with my visa! Naturally, nothing could go easily and I ended needing a document that wasn’t listed on the Consulate website. A few frantic phone calls from New York City to Canisius, I had a fax [...]

This little e-mail was going to determine whether I’d wasted $400 on plane tickets to go to New York City. So far, so good. If everything goes this nicely on Thursday, I [...]

Presently, I am waiting.
Waiting on a lot. The copier to finish the 124 jobs that I so unkindly asked of it so that I can be done waiting to finish these mailings which I need to have in the mail by the end of the business day. Where would the world be without office lackeys? [...]

Lots of activities here in Antwerp! There are going to be lots of photos for you to go through, too, and I hope everyone will like them. This will be long, so if you make it through, I applaud you. If not, just skim through for the links to the photo albums
So, let [...]

I can’t believe it has been over two weeks since I last logged in and updated, I swear I will be better about it from now on.
Belgium has been amazing, and the people have been incredible. There are two other Americans aside from myself, Meghan (yep!), from Tulsa, Oklahoma and Aaron from Wisconsin, and they [...]

Hello from Belgium!
 I just wanted you to know that I got here alright and have been trying to get acclimated to the city. I have so much to write about already when I can properly update, but right now I am sitting at a computer in the hotel lobby because rooms do not have internet.
 I [...]
