As I bailed water out of my bedroom at one in the morning, I couldn’t help but stop and think, “You know, this really isn’t what I signed up for.” Initially attracted to the Newman Guatemala Study and Serve program by thoughts of exotic places and 13 credit hours in ...

So, as many of you already know, I am writing this from a computer in Guatemala.  I came on the Newman study abroad trip with six other Newman students.  If I were to try and explain everything that I have already learned and experienced it would take hours.  Between the ...

For being a time like this, I find it surprising that I do not feel stressed yet. Actually, I feel stressed since I am not stressed, the main reason for this I know is that I have many things to do before I go home. One of them is going ...

Hello, I am one of those people that rarely get sick, but when I do hell breaks loose. When I sneeze, one can hear it form here to Timbuktu. This cold has been weird. A small contradiction from my title, but I actually got the cold yesterday night. I am not ...

I am crazy about hockey, especially when my favorite team is doing well. Djurgarden Hockey (Sweden). We are now in the semi-finals, and we are going to win! Our team has not looked this good in a long time. It would be a great gift if we won the Swedish ...

Despite the fact that my body is physically exhausted, I'm quite content.  Sure, I'm anxious about the future and some papers that are due and the whole leaving the country thing... but really, life is pretty good.  I'm exhausted because I'm doing things I love, so logically I should love ...
