Lugo & Playa de las Catedrales

Saturdays are for ESN trips. This time, we visited Lugo, where we had a little walk around to get to know the area. One of the USC campuses is in Lugo. I wish we had more time to explore the city, but we've been dealing with the minor delays all day and we still hadContinue reading "Lugo & Playa de las Catedrales"

A Coruรฑa – 10/09/2022

So, last week we had our first trip with ESN. We spent a day in A Coruรฑa, which is a city on the Adriatic coast, north part of Galicia. The city is more than beautiful, I was literally stunned and I wish I could've seen more. My leg still hadn't healed at that point, whichContinue reading "A Coruรฑa – 10/09/2022"

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'mContinue 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.

Time

I don't believe in time, I cannot grasp it. In the Universe, what is time? How does it work? And here, on Earth? I know we as humans are limited. Apparently, by it. We don't last forever โ€“ but what is forever? โ€“ we disperse after a while. Still, is it time or a changeContinue reading "Time"

SERENITY: POEMS by F. S. Yousaf – a review

Serenity: Poems I've read this collection a while back, as an ARC, just as it was coming out. Without any spoilers, I am sharing my thoughts. When I stumbled upon this collection, I was sceptical to read it, because for me, poetry has a great ability to slip into pretention. Truth is, I didn't knowContinue reading "SERENITY: POEMS by F. S.
