Day 8 finds us traveling to Switzerland, from Gatwick to Milan and then in a car to Lugano, and Zulay’s aunt is actually driving on the correct side! It felt weird—because I was starting to get used to the English driving—but also refreshing to be […]

days 4-7, England: bones and church and prison camps… oh my
So… I had so many things to write… I just never wrote them. But instead of apologizing and such, I’m just going to get right into it. On day 4, we headed “into town”, which is the main part of Peterborough. It was very quiet, […]

WE went into London today. We took pictures of Big Ben, in front of Buckingham Palace, walked through Westminster Square where we also took pictures in front of a Mandela statue (as well as catching the tube at Westminster station), walked through Covent Market, passed […]

I Remember
In my endeavor to write more frequently, I’ve decided to include all of my writing (i.e., my creative stuff). So here’s a poem I wrote today for Intro to Creative Writing. The prompt was to write an I Remember poem modeled after the piece of […]
A Seat At The Table: Together Yet Alone
There are four of us at this table, each eating lunch, all strangers to the other. It started with one woman. Who knows how many people sat down and coexisted with her until they were finished eating or had to get to class. Then me: […]
It’s Always Nice When
in your search for romance—whether it be fleeting or long lasting—you stumble across some cool people along the way. About two weeks ago, I had a date with a young man (he’s actually a few years older than me, so not so young) named Steve. […]
