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 →
Today marks a few things: three weeks in France, my friend Ivy's birthday (happy birthday!), and my second skiing trip. I was going to Chamrousse in the French alps today. I woke up at 6:40 AM today thinking, "damn, I paid money to wake up this early". Though if you want a full day at... Continue Reading →
Fortunately for me, I did not have class today! I usually have three hours of back to back physics, but class was cancelled because we were going to visit a lab in Grenoble. The lab tour wasn't until 1:30, so I slept in until 10 to make up for my crappy night of sleep on... Continue Reading →
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 →
I woke around 9:30 am today in my queen-sized bed that I was sharing with Harry. Lying on a mattress on the floor next to us was Dylan. Some people had made plans to start the day super early, but judging by the fact that everyone was sleeping, I imagine these plans were delayed. We... Continue Reading →
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...

One class Wednesdays are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. After a late night at the bar, I slept in with no regrets. Only having a single class at 1:30 is nice because for once, I could sip my coffee slowly, instead of rushing to catch the bus. I took a shower this morning, figuring... Continue Reading →
After never fully recovering from the soreness of snowshoeing and skiing, I slept in until 10 am. After some social media browsing, I headed downstairs and ate breakfast. I was planning to meet Harry at the BU office around 11:30 to plan for our trip. I grabbed all my stuff and headed out to meet... Continue Reading →
Note to self, its not worth renting skis in town just because it's 15 euros cheaper. I already didn't want to get up early for class today, but the thought of having to carry all my skis and equipment to school made it even worse. I usually give myself 30-40 minutes to get ready in... Continue Reading →
My alarm went off at 6:30 AM and I woke up feeling extremely sore and tired. It didn't matter because I was going skiing today. Why go learn to ski on a small mountain in Pennsylvania when I had the entire French alps? I finally got out of bed and doubled checked that I had... Continue Reading →
