Pre-departure Jitters by April Philpott — last modified 2006-09-21 06:26

I'm leaving on a Jet Plane; don't know when I'll be back again. OK, it's not quite that dramatic, but you get the idea.

Portugal & Fatima by April Philpott — last modified 2006-11-22 10:35

Portugal, Fatima, seeing the ocean for the first time, walking around and chanting with the virgin mary...need I say more.

The roller coaster ride of Study Abroad by April Philpott — last modified 2006-11-02 09:22

For me, studing in Spain has been like a roller coaster ride with its many ups and downs. One minute I am on the top of the world and the next the bottom.

The way I see it. by April Philpott — last modified 2006-10-30 10:31

Ok, I have been here for over a month now and have tasted the night life, seen some of the sights, and gotten to know a few people. Here are some neat, fun, or interesting facts about Segovia and life here in Spain.

I SAT IN AN AQUEDUCT!!! by April Philpott — last modified 2006-12-05 11:53

That pretty much describes the highlight of last week. Our excursion for the week involved my all-time-favorite Roman Aqueduct and we were able to climb on top of it and sit…I have now marked of one of the things on my “stuff to do before I die” list. My Latin teacher is going to be sooo envious :)

Paris, France by April Philpott — last modified 2006-12-27 08:34

It has dawned on me that I never made a blog for my fall break trip to Paris. Lo siento, I have not always been great at writing these on time. I guess I have been too busy enjoying my time here and keeping up with my classes…besides, if you had to pick between sight seeing, hanging out with your friends in Spain, or writing a blog, what would you pick:) Anyways, do forgive me…better late than never. So on to Paris…Notre Damn, Eiffel Tower, Luxemburg Gardens, Sacre Cure, boat rides on the river, and playing “Where’s Waldo” in the gardens of Versailles.

I just wanted to let everyone know how I was doing readjusting to the U.S. and give my final thoughts on my experience in Spain.
