6 weeks and a lot of memories 07/08/13

People said 4 weeks would fly by before I knew it and they weren’t kidding! It felt like I had just unpacked and started classes when I started packing my bags again and started studying for finals. The things I was able to see and do during those four weeks are things I will never have the […]

Packing helpers 05/17/13

Since I leave in just a few days, I started going through my suitcase full of stuff I brought back from college with me. As I walked into my living room, I found one of my cats, Tiger, happily laying on my dresses that I had put over the back of the chair so I […]
