Sausage Stuffed Apples →

Today my dad and I made these, and they were super autumnal and crazy delicious. Note to self: Double the meat, and serve with only one apple per person.

I DID NOT WRITE THIS. IT IS AN EXCERPT FROM Cory Doctorow’s novel Little Brother. I really enjoyed this passage and the entire novel in general. It is technically a young adult novel, but I think anyone bored or curious should definitely check it out. I read it in a day this Summer because I couldn’t put it down. If you ever decide to do something as stupid as build an automatic...

The first day in Spain was amazing; life-changing, even. I didn’t even know what to expect from the next three days in Spain, let alone the rest of the voyage! While I spent the first day simply roaming around and exploring, the rest of my stay was much, much more structured because I was on an SAS-sponsored trip for three days and two nights where we visited Sevilla (Seville), Cordoba...

I’m writing this almost an entire week after we arrived in Spain, mostly because I’m an idiot. I’ve also been really busy with schoolwork and whatnot, but I’ve finally found some time to recount my AMAZING time in Spain. We arrived in Cadiz (cAdeezth) on the morning of the June 24th, and I woke up to see the area around the port from my cabin window. This was especially exciting because it was...

I’ve managed thus far to write without mention of the courses I’m taking on the ship, but not because they have been insignificant. On the contrary, they have been a large part of my experience so far, and have been the main reason I have had almost no free time to update you lovely people back home. Here aboard the MV Explorer, I am taking three courses. The first course, which I have somehow...

This post will not do justice to the events that have transpired since the last update, but I feel like I should probably catch up before we arrive in Cadiz (cAdeeth, as it’s pronounced) tomorrow morning. After being dropped off at the boat, I jumped in line and quickly began meeting people left and right. I helped a girl and her mother with some super heavy looking bags, and we began talking...

In the beginning, things were okay. Despite the obvious setbacks, stresses, and misfortunes leading up to this voyage, on the fourth day at sea, I can confidently say that things are going well. I met my first fellow SASers very shortly after the last post. After submitting that post, I packed everything up, left my precious airport power outlet, and headed to the gate for my (new) flight to...

And this is just the beginning?

Wow. Just WOW. The last couple days have been crazy. Unsurprisingly, I put off packing until Sunday night (I left Monday morning). It was for good reason, though. Johnny and I threw a party! It was my ‘going away’ party and his birthday party. It took surprisingly little work to set things up, but the party itself turned out spectacularly. We fashioned a beer pong table out of random pieces of...

Is it weird that I make sure the color of my post-it flags match the color of the book I’m putting them in?

Finished reading Barry Goldwater’s “The Conscience of a Conservative.” Reinforces libertarian platform more than Republican. Not surprised.
