The Only Time(s) Since I’ve Been in Europe That My Brain has Made Any Real Fucking Sense of Things is When I’ve Been in Hamburg, I Love this Picture of Me (A Rarity Indeed), the Part of Sweden I’m Living In Sucks as Does My Student Teaching Placement, My Handling of My Study Abroad Experience Thus Far Has Left Me Feeling Like a Complete Failure More Often than Not, I Promise I’m Not Taking Any of This Experience for Granted Even if it Seems Like It, I Less than Three S and T Even if They Confuse Me, Sorry for Rambling Again, Edition

Tomorrow this guy is going to Sweden to teach. For maybe as long as 6 months.  He has worked really really hard to make this happen. Many days and nights of frustration, and paperwork, and homework, and teaching, and traveling to and from school.  And checking boxes, dotting i’s and crossing t’s. 

I am so proud that he made this happen. I hope this is the big life experience I imagine it can be. Onward to photos, memories, and experiences. I’d trade places in a heartbeat. 

I’m not sure how I missed this post. Well, I know exactly why (lack of Internet access, emotional breakdowns, city explorations and discoveries) but that’s beside the point.

It’s been a hell of a week. I’ll leave it at that for now.

Waiting for Coldplay to Take the Stage at Music Midtown, Four Days Until Mylo Xyloto, Giant Fucking Nose, Are GPOYWs Even A Thing Anymore?, Edition

Coldplay at Music Midtown 2011

I was able to cross-off “see Coldplay in concert again” off of my bucket list this past Saturday!! It was an incredible day with an incredible line-up of music at an incredible location with my incredible best bud.

These pictures were taken by Scott. The Instagrams I posted during the day on Saturday were taken by me.

Welcome back, Music Midtown! Hope to see you again next year!

Me / Bike Break 3.7 Miles In

I ended up riding just under 8 miles today. My goal was 12+ (which I did last Saturday) but I just wasn’t feeling it. My nuts weren’t feeling it either.

Random question: Do any of you, my bike riding buddies, use an iPhone app to keep track of, at the minimum, your distance? I’ve been using the Nike+ GPS app but it’s eating up all of my datas and it’s designed for runners. Suggestions?

Hanging Out with Scott During His Layover At the Atlanta Airport, Channeling My Inner Thomas for the First Time, Edition

(Chin² + Pillows) ÷ ‘Ally McBeal’ = Earlier Today

By the way, for those that care, my ear, as of 10:26pm last night, is all better! Wahoo! And, for the first time all week, I slept like a baby last night. I’m contributing this epicness to my unpluggingness!
