Day .5 I finally arrived! After about 11 hours total time sitting in the plane, I finally made it to the port city of Hamburg! I hate flying, mostly because I am on the taller side of the average man, and airplanes are not typically made for anyone over the height of your average garden … Continue reading Hamburg, Day 1.5, Dinner With a View
This week has been one hell of a busy one. I had two tests on Thursday, both in topics that are more mathematics-based and were multiple-choice, two things that I don’t like all that much. Add that to having a few hours of sleep after the Panthers’ game to start the week off, classes, teaching, … Continue reading Things That Have Inspired Me This Week
Today was the first real day of fall, reminding me of this poem. Though not about fall, necessarily, I thought of it throughout the day: may my heart always be open to little birds who are the secrets of living whatever they sing is better than to know and if men should not hear them … Continue reading Love Yourself So More Than Truly
This weekend was quite a busy one! Saturday was our school’s International Festival, which is where all internationally and culturally-based organizations on campus, in addition to community organizations and nonprofits in Charlotte, have a festival of food and dance to showcase their respective cultures. It’s a wonderful event and I’m quite sad that it was … Continue reading International Festival and Panthers’ Game

This morning my Starbucks cup greeted me with some nice inspiration: Art I liked today: And … Continue reading Snippets

Hello, everyone! I know it’s been quite a while since I’ve written. Since the time of my last post, I’ve started my senior year of school, completed one month of that senior year, and barely found time to breathe. In the summer it was easier to write daily blog posts because each day I was … Continue reading Finding Time to Breathe
After we took the two chikadees to college (as seen in the last post), I still had a few days before I had to move to the townhouse in Charlotte with Justin. The boys had the day off of band camp and I had to run errands, so we made a day of it. Before … Continue reading Taking the Chikadees to College: Part Two
I’m pretty bad at keeping up with this blog, and for many reasons, all inexcusable, except for the fact that it is my blog and if I don’t write, oh well. If I do, awesome. Reason Number One is that I just forget and don’t make the time to do so. Reason Number Two is … Continue reading Ryan Hess
