Well, I’m all moved in to my dorm room. I am ready for my sophomore year of college here at Taylor University! So, a little bit about my life at Taylor. I am actually beginning my first fall semester on campus, as last year I studied abroad first semester. So there are all sorts ofContinue reading “Back in the Saddle”

That’s right, everyone, I’m admitting it to the world. I am at a complete loss when it comes to anything even remotely technological. And here is the perfect example. I really did mean to go back to blogging twice a week. I promise I did! However, when I tried to get on the site lastContinue reading “Technologically Incompetent”

Everyone has pet peeves. You know, those little things that annoy you, sometimes for no reason. Of course, being the complete nerd I am, my biggest pet peeve has to do with words. To be specific, it has to do with one particular word and people who use it improperly. That word is “whenever”.  IContinue reading “My Biggest Pet Peeve”

Our last day in Liberia was Friday, July 5th. We spent the morning packing, visited a local Christian school, and finally headed to the airport. Travel was smooth and mostly on time. Security wasn’t a problem and we all got right through at all the checkpoints. It was a huge relief.  I don’t have aContinue reading “All Good Things Come to an End”

We celebrated the Fourth of July with a quiet morning before heading to the University of Liberia, where Gina spoke to a class of agriculture students. After that, we headed back into the main area of Monrovia to do some more souvenir shopping. We had dinner at a wonderful restaurant on the beach. After goingContinue reading “A Little More About Liberia”

We left Ganta on Wednesday, July 3rd and drove to Monrovia. It was a long day in the bus, about seven and a half hours. After our arrival, a few of us went for a walk on the beach. It was so much fun! Because we were so close to the equator, the water wasContinue reading “You Learn Something New…”

Tuesday, July 2 was our last day in Ganta. I helped Kathy with a watercolor color class in the morning and the afternoon was busy. Kathy, Gina, and I went to the leper colony for souvenirs. Then, we were graciously invited to lunch by the Bangladesh UN engineer base. It was so cool to meetContinue reading “It’s Not What You See”

That second Monday was the first day of July. The men worked on their projects in the morning as much as they could, although it was very wet. After lunch, they went to the leprosy and tuberculosis rehabilitation colony to shop for souvenirs. I helped Kathy with a watercolor paint class in the morning andContinue reading “This is How I Write”

I know. This is long overdue. I’ve been home almost a week, and I’m finally getting back to this. I’d say I’ve been busy and stuff, but let’s face. I’m just lazy. Can you all forgive me? I hope so! Anyway, the most recent post is up! Enjoy! And comment. That way I know whatContinue reading “So Sorry!!”

Sunday, June 30th was a very interesting and special day. Our group split up and attended five different churches in Ganta and surrounding villages. We spent a leisurely afternoon chatting together and simply relaxing after a week of hard work. On the way back to the guest house, we stopped at Liberia’s northern border withContinue reading “Out, Up, and Open”
