Home is Wherever I'm With You

created on: May 20, 2013 | Virginia, United States

Well, the jig is up. I arrived home on Monday the 13th with a brilliant plan - to surprise my family with my arrival. The only one who knew was L, my 16-year-old sister, who would pick me up from the airport and take me home - we would giggle and sleep before surprising my parents in the morning. However, the joke was also on me. After 29 hours in …

Bonhoeffer

by: MaryHiott

created on: May 20, 2013 | Sydney, Australia

I have been reading a book written by Eric Metaxas about Bonhoeffer; a man who assisted in plotting an assisination of Hitler. While reading, "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Prophet, Martyr, Spy" I ran across a passage Bonhoeffer had written about his experience in visiting American University and the hostels (dorms) the students lived in. Living together day by day produces a strong spirit of comradeship, of a mutual readiness to help. The thousandfold …

Can you believe its been a year since graduation? I remember attending your graduation sometime in May. I remember smiling, posing and taking a million pictures. We all looked very sharp. We were all very happy but sad but happy all at the same time. I remember having lots of dinners and conversations revolving the rest of our lives. I mean, what happens now? Some had job offers. Some started …

¡Two Weeks In!

by: NolanJP

created on: May 19, 2013 | Madrid, Spain

To begin with, a brief explanation of the name of my journal ("Three Months in the Biggest 'Village' in the World..."): Since I've been here, more than one person has made is quite clear to me that Madrid, while being the capital of Spain, is NOT a city... but this is admittedly somewhat of a marketing gimmick. At over 3 million inhabitants, Madrid is by far the most populous and geographically …

A Taste of Northern Culture

by: KacieGrunau

created on: May 18, 2013 | Limerick, Ireland

Prior to arriving in this splendid county I will admit the level of ignorance I had about Ireland and its history. And again, I will admit to this lack of knowledge that I recently gained its newer history, and with that newly possessed information, a new realm of respect and appreciation for this tiny county and the loveliness of its people. …

Day 1

What a day! My Austin to NYC flight got delayed roughly 3 hours, cutting it VERY short for my NYC to Barcelona connection flight. Fortunately, the odds were in my favor and the airline was able to hold the flight for me a few minutes in NYC. The flight was smooth and I made it in time to Barcelona. Attempting to fight the jetlag, I may or may …
