After an eternity of delayed buses and traveling, I finally arrived in Paris around 9:30 AM. Waiting the 4 hours for our delayed bus made me so exhausted that I actually slept well. Sleeping well and traveling on busses are two things that don't often mix well for me. We got off the bus to... Continue Reading →
Today started early, too early, around 6:45 am. Fridays are my worst day for classes and I have class from 8 am to 5 pm. I got ready for school, ate breakfast, and headed to class. Electric circuits went surprisingly quickly because we were just working on practice problems. We also learned about Grenoble's famous... 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 →
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 →
Before I start my blog post, I want to plug another travel blog, my brother's. https://drewinchina.wordpress.com Andrew is also studying abroad, but with NYU in Shanghai, China. I'm sure his experience will be vastly different than mine, but nonetheless very interesting. Also Andrew is way better writer than me and is award-winning! He has written... Continue Reading →
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 →
