This semester I am doing an independent study in history called “Tourism in Modern America.” I’m studying trends in tourism over the past century in America regionally and just finished my first book for the class.

Traveling the world with your sisters
This weekend, and the week leading up to it, has been all about recruitment. Our chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta has been meeting girls the past two days and learning more about each other and the wonderful women of this school.

Nomadic Cats
Recently there have been two cats spending their days outside of the Interfaith House. They are nomads, without a home. I assume they wander the streets at night and howl at the moon… wait… that’s werewolves.

This year, the city of Boston is already experiencing 10 times the number of flu cases than last year’s flu season. With 70 cases last year we’ve spiked up to 700 and already 18 people in the state have died from flu-related causes (mostly the elderly and young children with complications). After dealing with a … Continue reading
Our Day at MIT in Pictures
Today we took a little trip into Boston to visit Dad’s alma mater, MIT. Dad was mainly driven by a desire to hack the many ingress portals on MIT’s campus, but when I expressed an interest too we decided to take a little tour and explore some of the main campus. It turns out there … Continue reading
The Signs are all around us
Some of my favorite signs I’ve seen while traveling. I know there are more that I’ve neglected to photograph, but I’ll certainly be keeping my eyes out from now on. What’s the strangest sign you’ve ever seen? Continue reading
