So it's been awhile since I updated this blog. It's so hard to keep up with because i put half the funny things on facebook. BUT so much to update. The past month or so has been super busy... this coming weekend will be the first relaxing few days ive had in over 6 weeks. Traveling is great - but its overwhelming when you barely sit down during the week and you spend all weekend on a bus. I'm very much looking forward to a lowkey weekend. Though things are qu...

One week until I have been here for 2 months already! That seems totally wild. Time has flown. Especially when I think I only have to do what I've done 5 more times before I'm heading back home.

I had a burger and fries ...
