I had four classes to get through today, but for me this was essentially a Friday. I was skipping all my classes tomorrow to meet my BU friends (non-Grenoble ones) in Amsterdam. This didn't make getting out of bed any easier this morning though. As usual, one bowl of of cornflakes and a large coffee... Continue Reading →
Barberousse and Chartreuse-Day 30-February 8th, 2018
Despite, only going to bed at twelve last night, I felt pretty tired this morning getting up at 8:30. Today wouldn't be that bad though, my usual three hour circuits lab was cancelled. I just had three hours of math and French to get through. Depending on your definition of a month, today marks my... Continue Reading →
Grenoble Peaked in 1968-Day 28-February 6th, 2018
I woke up around 9 AM with plans to start my day productively at the gym. I snoozed my alarm for about two hours and that gym thing didn't end up happening. I spent sometime typing up my blogs this mornings, as well as having my usual breakfast and coffee. I chilled out for a... Continue Reading →
Lyon and Le Pen-Day 26- February 3rd, 2018
Getting up at 6:30 this morning made me glad not to have gone out the night before. I had packed my backpack last night, so I wasn’t in too much of a rush this morning. After packing way too much stuff for my Paris trip, I was trying to bring as little as possible. The... Continue Reading →
Crepe Day- Day 25-February 2nd, 2017
My morning started at 6:35 AM, as I woke up fifteen earlier than normal. This was part of my continuous plan to make my mornings less hectic. This is somewhat ironic because the French are known for being late to everything. I had to pack a lot of extra things in my backpack today like... Continue Reading →
Cheese = Culture-Day 24-February 1st, 2018
I continued my plan of waking up a little earlier today. I spent an additional five minutes looking at my phone in bed today and took extra time at breakfast. I also did not rush when heading out the door for the bus. When I rounded the corner to the main street, my bus was... Continue Reading →
Make Sure to Lick the Stamp-Day 21-January 29th, 2018
Safe to say my sleep on the bus was mediocre at best. I slept for about 5 hours, but woke up many times during that. The bus arrived in Grenoble a little after 5 AM. Knowing I had class in a few hours, I wanted to get home as fast as possible and go to... Continue Reading →
Getting Yelled at By Old Men at a Rugby Game-Day 17-January 25th, 2018
This morning was a typical one. I woke up, got dressed and ready, ate breakfast, and headed off to school. There was one nice surprise though, since the corn flakes had run out, there was now Frosted Flakes at the table. Frosties, the French version of Frosted Flakes. My first class of the day was...

Cold Snow & Hot Cheese-Day 12- January 20th, 2018
Today was the first BU planned trip for my group in Grenoble. We would be snowshoeing in the Alps near the town of Autrans, France. I woke up around 7:15 and made sure I had all my cold weather gear. I had brought a lot of warm clothes to France in anticipation of doing stuff... Continue Reading →
Will vs The French Washing Machine-Day 10-January 18th, 2017
This morning's routine started off like any other. Wake up. Get changed. Pack bag. Eat Breakfast. Miss the bus. Run to the tram frantically. Somehow make it to school. That's right, somehow I managed to miss the bus for the second day in a row. I have a bad feeling this may occur a few... Continue Reading →
