(X-posted on CIEE program blog)

After the first weekend of events, CIEE does not actually plan many more events for the entire group to participate in. There are some through Sophia Univeristy, but mainly people go off on their own and/or do the activites recommended by CIEE on their own time. This is basically true except for one time: Shannon, our ( Read more... )

So I've been in Japan for about 1.5 weeks now - I wanted to post last week but LJ was too busy being attacked to allow me to - and I can honestly say I am thoroughly enjoying myself. I won't be able to post about all I've done so far because that would just be too long of a post, but I'll continue where I stop in another post.

The CIEE study abroad ( Read more... )

Everything is okay in the end; if it's not okay, then it's not the end. - Shannon Leto

Only 2 posts in April? Not my fault, I swear! I was trying to get finished with that thing known as school. I technically finished on the 27th but I still have 3 papers to write and turn in by email. My last week was hectic as hell, though. Tests, papers, packing ( Read more... )

Guy: Dude, you might not want to touch my hair, it's kinda got some funky stuff in it.
Girl: Yeah, well my hand probably has some funky stuff on it so we're alright.

Soooo I'm on spring break... Have been since last Thursday. I realized when I talked to a friend today from home that I hadn't told her so I figured I might not have told y'all either. I ( Read more... )

I can now check some things off my List: 1) go to Canada; 2) go to a concert out of the country; and 3) see the Tim Burton exhibit. Because this weekend, I did it all!

My friend and I planned this trip some weeks ago around The Pretty Reckless concert in Toronto. She's really into them and got me into them, and since their concert tickets were only ( Read more... )

So apparently, 30 Seconds to Mars radio and Breaking Benjamin radio are one and the same, according to Slacker. That's fine. They are two of my fav bands, but I would never have expected their songs to overlap as much as Slacker says they do.

In other nonsense, while on my semi-vaca weekend in San Fran, I rented a bike and rode it to the Golden Gate ( Read more... )

Wow. Well I've been back from Greece for awhile now (got back in the country May 21st), then I headed home for a week (where y'all know I don't like updating from the Crap Computer), and now I'm in Maryland at my in internship, good and settled.

But Greece was gorgeous!! It was such a beautiful place to be. I swear, 1/3 of the pictures I took were ( Read more... )

Finally, like a week later, I'm going to post about all the good stuff that's happened recently.

First, I found out that I'm going to have a summer internship this summer. That's exciting, and I don't have to go home and bum the whole summer. Or work retail, which would have been much worse. But now I don't have to worry about that because I'm going ( Read more... )

 Okay, so when osoimaru was planning on coming to the US this summer I had planned a trip to NY into my schedule. To see her & blueutopiah & sekah, you say you get home in June, right?

 Well, I figure I should go ahead and make a real post after three of just memes. As I've said before, I am finished with my first semester at Howard U. Now all I'm waiting on is my grades. Would be nice to know my GPA before I go back to school. Because, as nice as it is to not know if I didn't do well in my calculus class, I would still like to ( Read more... )
