Rainy Days are Best with a Side of Soup

January 28, 2013 by

Rainy days are when I make a not-so-lovely cup of insta-coffee, grab a book, and read those rationed chapters I have been holding myself back from reading. Being from sunny southern California, I find the rain is quite enjoyable… for about a day. It’s nice listening to the cliché of rain droplets hitting the tin […]

Questions from Home

May 20, 2012 by

It’s been about a month since I’ve last written, and this fact, combined with numerous requests for a post, have led me to decide that it’s about time I took a moment to update you all on my activities. In figuring out what the focus of this blog should be, I reread a letter that […]

Mid-May

It’s mid-May, and the end of the school year is a month away. Volunteers who are leaving Georgia – for vacation or forever – already have their flight itineraries.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Snow is all I ever talk about these days. Oh, by the way – it’s snowing again. So due to Georgia’s unusually snowy and cold winter (part of a plague of snowiness sweeping across Europe, apparently), the Ministry has officially declared that schools will be closed until Monday, February 13th.

Winter is Coming

November 9, 2011 by

The Stark words occurred to me for the first time this season when TLG sent around an email about getting heaters in host families. Word is, host families must provide space heaters (that is to say, electric heaters) in volunteers’ rooms upon request. I was surprised to hear this, as last year stories abounded of […]
