better days

ive spent two weeks here and i believe its safe to say although terribly cliché, that the worst is over. the first days are over and its difficult to recreate those emotions felt over again. needless to say life in Lille moved on and we had no choice but to follow. the last two weeks were...

i found the internet yessss.

well, it's my first blog entry. i can't really even begin to explain the last 3 weeks here, it's been fun so far but definitely a huuuuge adjustment. i like europe, but miss peanut butter and all the comforts of home (ok, they do have peanut butter here but it's like 4 euro...not worth...

throwing in the towel

they always say its going to be one of the best semesters of your life. they warn you about culture shock and its affects. and they tell you to hide your money in three different places so you don't get robbed. but they can never truly tell you how it feels to be completely disconnected from...

le commencement

im watching the french countryside and it still feels impossible that im here. its been so much of my life that it just seems a part of it already. i didn't go to a foreign country, i went home. the goodbyes were hard, as most are. but everything went as planned, which made it a little...

Minor indignities

7 hours in a dark cabin feeling the blood flow cease to your legs, eyes closed but unable to sleep, simply waiting: to arrive, to start, to cease simply imagining this trip. I remember a time when flying fascinated me, and I could sleep on a flight. No more. Air France charged me $125 extra...

back to reality and pressing 'eject'

...finishing a round the world trip is not easy! As you will see from my last entry on the previous trip it was an astounding feeling of personal accomplishment (...liking the new text jason!) when i finished and caught my flight home. Time spent at home with the family was great too, but...

We arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport almost 15 hours after leaving Los Angeles. Of course we had a 2 hour lay over in Chicago. Then there was the time diference of 7 more hours. Needless to say, we were worn out. Fortunately before we left on the trip we had reserved a brand new Renault...

Quite a Ride to

We flew from Los Angeles to Chicago and on to Paris. Very uncomfortable flight. The seats were so close together and the seats only reclined about four inches. I understood why first class is so much more expensive. It had not been two years since 9/11 and the security at the airports was...
