Here I am GERMANY!!!

 A Journey of a lifetime...has already begun.
It's official! I'm 16 and going to Germany
On Friday I departed California for Maryland (nicknamed the Old Line State.) After two flights; No complementary beverage, and a seat by the plane's engine : ( I arrived at BWI and was swiftly greeted by my grandparents! After grabbing my luggage we headed to their house (about 20-30 minutes away) where two of my cousins awaited my arrival  (Chris who I haven't seen in almost 2 years and Alena). After catching up with all of them, Chris and I sat around an chatted for a bit (as growing cousins do). I whatsapped with my Mom and a few group mates until I finally fell asleep at about 3:00 am (the result of sleeping through both plane rides.)

On Saturday I woke up to a nice breakfast (bacon, eggs & biscuits) I headed to the outlet mall with my Uncle A.T and cousins for a bit. When we returned I relaxed watched a bit of tennis, I was then surprised to see My other cousins Tonya and Tiesha (Thanks for stopping by to see me Guys).  It was soon time to get ready to head to the hotel, where I met the rest of the group. (Hugs and kisses for my Grandparents, who we're quite ready to let me leave.)  After our group meeting we had sometime to catch up and next thing I know it was time for lights out.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had a room all to myself, a little lonely but swweet!!  I spoke of a bit with my family back at home hoping that it would make me tired but no such luck my nerves were getting the best of me. 

It's flying time.....
What a long day ahead.  0730 wake up call, breakfast then all of us were headed to the airport of our preinternational boarding and security check in.  I managed to get some calls off before boarding time including my Nanny (I'll be just fine).  Yes, I did it guys I wanted until the very last minute to send a few text messages to My sister (love her!!)

*  Fun Fact: Does the sun really set even when your flying? 

After hours and hours of travel I have arrived in Germany and will attend language camp, Stay tuned for my German Adventures!!

As always, I Thank you for your support!!

What's a break without fresh air?

 It is natural for us humans to become complacent with our lives, the people, and the opportunities at our disposal. This behavior is innate and completely understandable. Think about it, if you saw a [beach] everyday, you may not view it with the excitement of someone who grew up days away from the ocean. This is not due to a lack of appreciation, but rather because [it] was at your becking call, [it] was easily... accessible. Take a chance and try something new, you never know what awaits I think many of us can agree that humans are often habitual creatures. More often then not, our lives get busy and we find comfort in our routines. The increasingly fast-paced, urbanized, and technologically advanced nature of society does not help combat this tendency. Luckily, there are currently 61 National Parks across the United States that can provide the change of environment and therapeutic experiences many of us subconsiously seek. https://www.mapsofworld.com/usa/national-parks...

1 year in the box

It has been quite a bit since my last post, however now that it is summer and I have more free time I will be sure to try and update on a normal basis once again. The long second semester has come to end... well, that is a bit of an overstatement because the time sure did fly by. Exams, hangouts, a first all- nighter  and lunch dates. Those four things pretty much sum up the semester, and although it has come to an end, life continues and the next chapter began in a great way. After moving out of the dorm and bidding farewell to the campus for the next few months we passed some time sitting down and enjoying  boba . We then took a tour of the library exhibits (Beethoven and Steinbeck) before heading to the hotel. We enjoyed some great gyros and then called it a night. Enough  for 2 One of the keys to a successful trip is a happy driver and food of course. Luckily both of those were present and by morning we were on the road for our next st...

First off I want give a sincere Thank You to everyone who made the trip to Canada great and who supported and showed up to my party. Took a bit to get there, but the trip was thoroughly enjoyed and seeing/ spending time with you all made my summer (and it isn't even over yet.) Where to next? well you will just have to stay tuned! You mean no 5 o'clock traffic? The blueberries weren't out yet, but at least these guys were around Just something about a country lifestyle that makes you happy It was all gone so fast  When you realize afterwards that you didn't photograph your food Looking a little thirsty I was... pretty stoked to see a few bees buzzing
