It's been a fast-paced year filled with unexpected events and adventures. (Many of which I don't write about). Here's a quick update on 2013:
I spent the Spring 2013 Semester studying abroad in London. It was an unbelievable experience during which I saw nearly twenty museums, around thirty plays, and four countries (as well as Scotland and Wales).
I spent a weekend in February in Dublin, Ireland and the surrounding area. My favorite thing about Ireland was the Howth Cliffs and Irish pub food.
Over Spring Break, I took a ten-day coach tour of Scotland, Wales, and England. The highlight of my trip was spending a few days in a mountain lodge in Glencoe, Scotland, where we hiked and enjoyed nature. I also visited Edinburgh, York, Liverpool, Stratford-Upon-Avon, and Caernarfon.
Easter Break was spent in Lloret de Mar, Girona, and Barcelona, Spain. I loved seeing castles, eating gelato, and touring the city (Futbol Barca anyone?)
After the conclusion of the semester, my mother and I spent a few weeks in Italy, visiting Verona, Venice, Florence, and small towns surrounding Lake Garda. My favorite location (perhaps in the whole world) was Peschiera del Garda, the Italian village that houses amazing views, the world's best Italian restaurant on the shores of the lake (which is really more of a sea), and the best little bakery ever. Did I mention the city is equipped with a real moat?
My summer went by quickly as a attended the Engalitchiff Institute for Comparative Political and Economic Systems in Washington, D.C., and served as a research assistant for the Federalist Society. Best thing? Attending a gala at the Supreme Court and making some great friends from around the country!
My fall semester was spent at school in Brownwood, Texas, during which time I attended several moot court tournaments and qualified for the National Championship to be held in Tempe, AZ later this month.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and check back to hear about Chile, Nationals, and Rome!
