I seem to be in what looks like an unusual situation: I need to learn to pack less efficiently. In spring 2004, when I was panicking at the sudden realization that my non-refundable ticket to CDG in Paris would not be paired with friendly free housing on the beach, I started trying to figure out […]
I just paid for my ticket to Hong Kong. Ouch.
Overnight I received e-mail from Lingnan telling me that I’m accepted and that my materials are on their way to Morgantown. Calling Morgantown, I was pretty much told to buy my airfare and assume I won’t get turned down for the visa (which still has its 4-6 week purgatory to go through). So I got […]
A little on the Europe plans for this summer: On the way back home from Spring Break, Alana (generously giving me a ride) suggested a trip to Spain. Before we came back to Morgantown we’d booked a flight. Maybe it was a little hasty, but I think this should work out pretty well. We fly […]

This winter break I spent a little time between Christmas and the start of the new semester in Europe. I flew to Dublin and back with my friend Ryan, although we may not be friends after that much time together in US‘s aluminum cans. I’m editing this from one long itinerary post, so bear with […]
