So I experienced my first ever earthquake this past week! Tuesday night, Greg and I were sitting on the internet planning some of our spring break when the whole room started shaking and there was a loud rumbling noise. We just kind of looked at each other, both not really knowing what to do and just sat for about 2 minutes. Everything just shook and shook. Finally, after about what seemed like forever everything went still again and then the roommates started ru...

This past weekend Hull's International Student Association took two charter buses to Paris for the weekend. We took about a 5 hour bus ride to the southern most tip of England, then took a 2 hour ferry over to France, then got back on the bus for about another 3 hours. We were not incredibly excited about the bus ride, but we figured it wouldn't be that bad. Of course, it was a double-decker charter bus which was different than we had seen, but we didn't really r...

This past weekend, seven of us went to Dublin, Ireland from Thursday night until Monday night. Caitlin, Brooke, Mallory, Jennifer and I all were able to fly on the same flight, which was nice because we got to find our hostels together.

The rest of us stayed in the ...

I am taking a social work process and practice on Tuesday mornings. It is pretty much just a class about everything going into the whole idea of being a social worker. Yes, I know that I am not going to be a social worker, but I do need social science credits, so it will work for that. My...

So I had another "vacation weekend" in London this past weekend. It is pretty amazing only having class twice a week so we have a pretty good amount of time to travel around. We left for London on Thursday afternoon and got into the city around 7 or so. I absolutely love the train rides because it is about the only time we sleep, so we took full advantage of the three hour ride. Once we got to London, we went to the place where we were staying and relax...
