best birthday present ever

Last week was my birthday.
I would have written about it then but I was a) too excited from my surprise (more on that further down) and b) too busy with law school work.
Since my birthday was in the middle of the week, my mother came to visit me the weekend before. We had a couple [...]

thanks everyone

I just noticed I had past a milestone with the numbers of hits to this blog. I have officially broke 1,100 hits. I should have remarked on this when it reached 1,000 but better late than never.
So thanks everyone. I hope you will continue to enjoy this window into my little world!
Have fun!

winter weather and the human ice scraper

The ice storm that hit Kentucky this week has had a big impact on my little world.
Tuesday, UK canceled classes starting before 11 a.m. and then later canceled classes starting after 3:30 p.m. I had to go to the law building for my Property class but Constitutional 1 was called off so I came back [...]

what I’ve been up to

And now the posts from my trip to England are complete. I am ashamed of how long it took to get all of those posted. It seems like forever ago that I got home from that trip. It has been a long time. Although, typing up those posts brought it all back. Amazing.
I could blame [...]

trip to England – day six (part two)

After we left the Eiffel Tower Monica led us to the Louvre. She told us about how long she had been living in Paris (Monica was German) and more about herself. She also told us some history of the Louvre. You could tell she really enjoyed what she was doing.
Oh, I almost forgot. Between the [...]

We have another day trip planned for tomorrow but today is the big one. Paris!
We got up at an indecent hour this morning and a coach picked us up at the hotel. That was one trip I was really happy when it was over. We rode the Eurostar train from St. Pancras International station to [...]

trip to England – day five

The next couple of days are going to be jam packed so we decided to take today a little slower. This is the first morning we didn’t have an early wake up call. I didn’t realize how tired I had become until I got some extra sleep this morning. The deprivation has all been worth [...]

trip to England – day four

Mom is happy. She got to start her morning off with coffee. The warming pot in our room had been broken so far, but they brought us a new one today.
Since we didn’t finish our tour yesterday and our bus passes were still good through the morning, Mom and I rode the Tube to Tower [...]
