Oh look... this website now has... some really ugly arrows that I hastily at the bottom of blog page (instead of text that wrapped poorly on my phone), and a nifty subscribe button

that gives you easy access to subscribing to site updates via email or RSS.

My primary goal was to document my first experience studying abroad, or even just spending time in a country outside of North America.

Realistically, though, I had a few more important priorities in mind.

I needed to assuage my mother's anxieties, document countless waffle photographs, and occasionally post something.

Well, that was then and this is now. My blog has changed, and my goals have changed as well...
