How do I even begin to describe my first experience with international travel? Fatigue. Lots of fatigue. First, there’s the airport goodbye to the parents who think they’ll never see you again. Once that bittersweet farewell was done, we were immediately thrust into adulthood, a.k.a navigating Dulles and tackling the TSA. My watch made the […]
As mentioned in my previous post one of the projects I wanted to complete over last summer was digitizing as many of the paper processes that I could. One of the largest challenges was finding a way to digitize a major task my student supervisor performs.

When I returned to the United States, my family drove me out to Western Pennsylvania for a family wedding. The drive was filled with views of gorgeous mountains and clear blue skies. These views were the total opposite of the ones I saw in Paris but, they were still as moving and breath-taking. Views like […]
On my last night in Paris, a guy asked me what my favorite place in Paris was and at the time I couldn’t give him an answer. For the record, his favorite place is the Opéra Garnier, which is an excellent choice. I have been mulling over this question for almost a week now and […]
