World Mental Health Day in my world

In lights of the World Mental Health Day – that I’m… not late to, because the conversation shouldn’t start and stop on that day – I wanted to share… let’s call it a diary entry, that I wrote in June of this year.

On language

Language – this is a thought I wrote down one day after coming back from my classes. I keep thinking about it more and more. I’m just here, drinking my coffee when all of the sudden my eyes are teary and I have to put my glasses down. And what caused that? Ever since IContinueContinue reading “On language”

A Coruña – 10/09/2022

So, last week we had our first trip with ESN. We spent a day in A Coruña, which is a city on the Adriatic coast, north part of Galicia.

The early a.m. thoughts

Some thoughts I’ve been having lately Here’s a somewhat different update on my life and thoughts doing Erasmus and living in a completely different country. It’s not like I haven’t lived alone before or anything, and there’s no real language barrier, but I do feel strange. I’m actually missing the excitement. I feel like I’mContinueContinue reading “The early a.m. thoughts”

Santiago de Compostela – an update

Okay, so my laptop’s been down this past almost a week, so Thursday is a new Saturday, I guess? Anyway, the most important update is that I’ve hurt my leg, and instead of wandering around this beauty of a city, I’m pretty much stuck in my room now. My classes haven’t started yet, so IContinueContinue reading “Santiago de Compostela – an update”
