Först uppletning av professor, sedan registrering och uthämtning av ID kort, lunch, prat, shoppa på Target med egen eskort, full rulle full rulle full rulle.... Ja saker man kan göra en fredag när man är företagsam utbytesstudent.. Varför inte samla ihop lite tjejer och gå på basketbollmatch och se sitt hemmalag vinna? För att inte tala om att se cheerleaders för första gången och undra hur de lyckas undvika att smälla i huvudet med sina hopp och pyramider och skuttande... Sen kan man hipp som happ ta bussen in till Charlotte centrum för att råka trilla in på en (i efterhand förstått) ypperligt populär Cosmos Café (bar) för att hitta lite glada typer att umgås och skratta med. ... read more

Hello! And the blog continues, Part 2!! Tomorrow afternoon I leave for Santiago, Chile where I will be studying abroad for the next 2 months :) I first fly to Miami then take an overnight flight on January 2nd to arrive in Santiago on the morning of the 3rd. Chile is actually 2 hours ahead of Eastern Time in the US, so we land at 9:30 a.m. but it will really only be 7:30 here. I am traveling down to Chile with my friend Ashley from Furman (not flying by myself this time, horray!) and we are meeting up with students from the University of Delaware in the airport (I hope!) I'm thinking that this travel abroad experience will be totally different from Spain, so I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Instead of ... read more

I am still mesmerized by the performance of this group.I am floating on an Aerocloud.We went to Charlotte,NC to see them once again and I met some really great people there and saw another incredible performance by them.Cameras were allowed ,so we took tons of photos .But at one point during the performance I just handed off the camera to my husband and enjoyed the night and danced so much that I was actually sore the next morning!Enjoy some of the many photos that we took http://beta.photoshow.com/watch/Qr6Vw6rY.Lots were of Motley Crue who were okay...just not on my favorite list. Steven Tyler sang one song to his girlfriend and had her come out into the audience.It is called "Seasons of Wither" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzDuXuGg-Wo(this is a video that some one else made and shared from the concert) and I ... read more

Well I did it. It is gone. My hair is 10 inches shorter. I am not really sure how I feel about it. I feel like I killed it (and it does look dead, doesn't it). Didn't know this before I went in, but the place I found to get my hair cut was a children’s salon. It definitely caught me off guard; they had little trucks and motorcycles for the kids to sit in while they were getting their hair cut (luckily they had normal salon chairs in the back). It took me a while to decide how short to get it and I was thinking about going back to really short, but I just couldn't do it. So Shannon chopped off 10 inches and went from there. I think she layered my hair, I ... read more

Preparing to leave Charlotte has become quite interesting. I find myself staring at the same "closet" wondering how in the world I'm going to make this work. Of course, asking Adam is out. He's a boy. Boys don't have these problems. 2-3 pairs of pants (cords, jean, what-have-you), A few t-shirts, a couple of fleeces, socks, and boxers, it's all he'll need. Simple. I know I should follow the same list, but I have a lot of what if's. I think I'm doing ok. I have more clothes in the 'give away' pile than I have in the 'keep' pile, so thats good. I'm working on it!! So ANYWAY. Thats not all. I've rearranged the "kitchen" cabinets ten times, and the draws. I'll probably do it another ten times before we even leave Charlotte. Its ... read more
