It’s been quite a few days as I began to embark on my study abroad experience. Again, my name is Kendra Jozwiak. I’m fortunate enough to be able to study in Paris this summer, and right now I’m spending a few days in London with my program before we head over to Paris. Today we had a tour of London, and got to see all … Continue reading Lost in London
So much has happened in the past few days! After I arrived in Quito on Monday night, a chofer (driver) from the CIMAS program picked me up from the old airport, and I stayed at a hotel called Savoy Inn. Tuesday morning, my host mom, Catalina Asanza, or Caty, came with her older son, Jorge, to bring me to the house briefly before taking me … Continue reading Initial Observations
Finally, I’ve made it safely to Quito, if not a bit late, and I’m on my way to the Savoy Inn Hostel. This story starts a little less than a week ago. It’s Tuesday before I leave to Ecuador. Only five days until I’m on my way. Just for good measure, I decide to call up the Ecuadorian Consulate to make sure that they have … Continue reading On angels’ Wings
For those of you that don’t know, I am going to be sharing my blog on the SU Education Abroad Blog. So, hello, my name is Alora McGavin and I’m spending my summer (and fall) in Quito, Ecuador. I’m doing two consecutive study abroad programs: the SU-Sponsored CIMAS Spanish Intensive program for the summer and a non-SU direct enrollment program at Universidad de San Francisco … Continue reading This is where the story begins…
I can’t believe that by the end of this week, my program will already be half of the way done! I have a group project, a paper, and a test next week. The time is flying by faster than I ever thought it could. Staying focused on schoolwork is proving to be a very difficult task since I am surrounded by so many different things … Continue reading Half Way Done Already?!
Yep. You read that right. Free shoulder massage. What does that have to with anything, you may wonder? Well, two days ago, I was sitting in a pub in Dublin eating a traditional Irish lunch (meat and potatoes!) with a few of the jet lagged people from my program. The waiter (maybe the bartender… they seem to be the same person in pubs) came up to us, cracked … Continue reading Free shoulder massage?! YES.
Five days until I arrive in London on my way to study abroad at L’Université Paris-Sorbonne. My name is Kendra Jozwiak, and I have a wonderful mix of excitement and anxiety for the experience I’m about to have in France. As I start preparing to leave, many worries flood my mind. Am I packing enough? Too little? Do I have everything? Do I know enough … Continue reading My Mind is in Paris…
This past week of living in London has been very eventful! I started both of my classes last week, and they should both be very interesting. I’m taking British Youth Culture and Censorship. I planned to only have classes twice a week so that I had time on the other days to explore. Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to go to the Queen’s … Continue reading London Living
Hi! My name is Alex Thomas, and as of 3 days ago, I have officially finished my freshman year at SU! The year went by alarmingly quickly, so I’m still pretty shocked to be sitting here at home in Maryland, attempting to get all packed and ready to go for my flight to Ireland this Friday night. I’m a History major without a declared minor … Continue reading Did I really lose my passport…
After twelve hours of traveling and about thirty hours without sleep, I finally made it to London! As soon as a I got off the plane, I made my way to my new apartment with my roommate Gina. For future reference, staircases in the tube stations and a large suitcase do not work well together. Despite struggling with our bags, we were able to make … Continue reading Mind the Gap
