http://unanaletranger-kristen.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 22, 2008. Classes started today, and luckily, I got to ease into it with a late start (noon! So we can either choose one of those works to write about, or he also gave some more general themes. One of them was, "expressing religion in sports." Bingo. I could write a whole book just on the Red Sox (who will hopefully be clinching the wild card tonight, by the way! So when I saw that topic, that's when I knew I wanted to stay in the class! We had to get up EARLY (7) on Sunday for our ro...

http://unanaletranger-kristen.blogspot.com/2009/06/some-reflections-at-years-end.html
Sunday, June 14, 2009. Some reflections at year's end. But I feel much more aware and certain of what I want out of life. That isn't to say I have an answer to everyone and their brother who will ask me in the coming year, "What do you want to do with your life? 160;Because really, in this economy, I would be happy just being employed! 160;I want to go to the theater, the opera, the ballet. I want to be a stone's throw away from other European jems (imagine, two hours from London by Chunnel! I think th...

Un an à l'étranger: May 2009
http://unanaletranger-kristen.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2009. You Know You're in Spain If. So I have now lived in Spain for four months (as of yesterday- scary! And I’m in the mood for a bit of a humorous entry amid all of this studying (a.k.a. general misery and soul-sucking).

Fútbol=vida, ‘nough said, ...

Un an à l'étranger: De la perspective
http://unanaletranger-kristen.blogspot.com/2009/08/de-la-perspective.html
Monday, August 24, 2009. Now, this is not to say that I would go back to Salamanca- in fact, that thought couldn't be farther from my mind- but I DO think Salamanca should have gotten the press it deserves by having the movie filmed there. Because, like I have said before, Salamanca is an incredibly beautiful city- classically beautiful. So what has life been like post-study abroad? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Un an à l'étranger. Histoire d'Oooh et H2O. Really Closing this Chapter. I think I've g...
