By: Abby Stanley I passed my final exam for my first class here in Cádiz! I was so nervous about the oral and listening sections of the exam, but I ended up doing just fine! Both professors, Inma 1 and Inma 2, had very nice things to say, so I felt much better about my episode on Tuesday.  Professors here ...

By: Rebecka McAleer By now, you’ve heard me talk about all of the many people I work with. So many names, how do I differentiate them all? Who ARE these people? What makes up an A/V crew? Never fear, dear readers—the answer to that question comes now. Skippy: Skippy is the CEO at GNTV. He’s been working in the business ...

By: Taylor York Bonjour! I have now been in Paris for a full week, and what an amazing week it has been! I’m not sure how anyone could ever get bored here. So far, classes are going really well, and I have visited some amazing places. I am taking French 1002 and Music Appreciation here in Paris, so my field ...

By: Abby Stanley Hello again! Hoping all of you have had a wonderful start to this week! I have much to share with you guys!

Yes, I’m with a group of people, but I don’t really know any of them so I felt really apprehensive at first. I’m glad to say that the more I get to know some of these people, the better I feel and the more I ...

By: Gisele Greaux Our first full day in St. Petersburg was just exhilarating. We got to take a city tour with our own personal tour guide named Galina. She has a love for the history of St. Petersburg (in fact she never studied history in school, she was once a hydraulics engineer for the Russian military) and is very opinionated ...

By: Abby Stanley I officially believe in the saying, “dreams really do come true,” as cliché as that may be.  Ever since I was a junior in high school, I said I would study abroad.  I never thought it would actually happen, but I’m here. I am in Spain! The first two days we have spent in the capital of ...

By: Gisele Greaux Здравствуйте (Strasvuytche)! That’s Russian for hello. It’s been awhile since I’ve last written but it has been non-stop action since we took off. It was a long journey, we left Atlanta at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 28 and arrived in St. Petersburg around noon on Saturday (8 p.m. EST). Despite the long flight and layover in ...

By: Rebecka McAleer Welcome back, readers! Today I’m being boring, sitting in the office working on some mass duplication. But never fear!—I have some fun stories for you nonetheless! After leaving the South Georgia Annual Conference, there was one last annual conference on my list for this summer: Kentucky. The Kentucky Annual Conference is held in Covington, Ken., which is about ...

By: Taylor York I woke up yesterday morning with nearly every emotion combined: sadness, excitement, fear, anxiety, confusion. It was the day I had been waiting to come for months, and it didn’t even seem real.
