Last weekend, Bucknell took us on an excursion to Normandy. As I’m sure you can tell, I’m getting very behind on my blogging due to me wanting to write down too many memories that I don’t want to forget and also due to the fact that generally when I leave I don’t bring my computer with me.

I can't imagine what it would be like to be on the beaches of Normandy or go to the American Cemetery. I didn't realize that it's actually American soil.

If you have time, a curious political science major wants to know why Kennedy wanted to punish France. I don't remember learning that in APUSH.
