Yesterday I wrote about how my mood had caused me to lose I joy I was having for this trip. I am happy to say that today I felt so much better and was feeling more like myself…and it was a great this too because today we spent the majority of the day in Bruges….

Funk… (Day Seven)
No, not the seventies musical genre but the mental and emotional status of fatigue, depression and overall moodiness. Those that know me best know that there are times when my emotional status can change however it feels rather different today. I’m currently experiencing a once in a lifetime trip to Europe and I spent the…
Road Trip #1! (Day Six)
After my long day of recovery, I was raring to go on day six. With plenty of rest, I was up at the crack of dawn and on the bus heading toward Antwerp. We arrived to a very chilly and Windy City with on and off rain, but it didn’t distract from the beauty of…
Ugh…(Day Five)
Ok so this post may be a bit on the short side because I haven’t really been up long enough to complete a full post. Today, I realized why the day after St. Patrick’s Day is the least productive day in the face of the earth. Everybody had a lot to drink last night and…
St. Patrick’s Day! (Day Four)
I’ve never celebrated St. Patrick’s day a day in my life. I’ve always thought that a specific day to drink alcohol was never really smart but I must say, I’m chowing down on a bit of crow right now. My day started like the rest, here in Brussels with dragging myself out of bed and…
Ace of Base and Celine Dion (Day Three)
Sleeping in has to be one of the greatest things in existence. In my post from Wednesday, I mentioned how much jet lag we were all feeling and because we postponed our activities until 10 this morning, we were all able to get some much needed rest. With most of our class in Paris, the…
And Then There Were Nine (Day Two)
As most of my followers know, the majority of the group set off to Paris for the weekend via bullet train earlier this afternoon. Since they didn’t leave until four, my little group had plenty of time to visit NATO in the morning and continue exploring the city before they abandoned m-, I mean left…
Two Words…. (Day One)
…Jet Lag. After an eight and a half hour long flight we finally made it to our destination country of Belgium. Most of the people in our group have never been on that long of a flight so suffice to say, none of us really slept all that well. At the time of this writing…
Mannekin Pis News…
Not long after I published my post about my second Brussels class, I find that an entire article was posted by the Wall Street Journal (as found on Yahoo finance) about the infamous Mannekin Pis statue in Brussels. It really is an interesting article and I’ve attached the link here. It supplements what I wrote…
Second Class (54 Days Until Departure)
I have now come upon the second meeting of my study abroad class in Brussels which occurred on Thursday. That day, I was able to get to know my other classmates and start forming relationships with the students whom I will be spending ten fun filled days with in Belgium. The class started off very…
