I have arrived in what I have heard
been called so far “the old continent” and let me say it is B-E-A-U-TIFUL!
Currently I am sitting in Brussels, Belgium awaiting my final plane to take me
to my final destination, Toulouse. It has been quite the journey so far and I
just wanted to share a few things special moments thus far.
Right now as I am talking to you I
am helping a man from India learn how to use the charging station machine that
they use in this airport. It is a modified bicycle so that way when you pedal
it charges the device that you have plugged in. A pretty neat idea if you ask
me and it is a good way for me to stay warm since for some reason I chose not
bring a jacket and am freezing in this terminal!
My powercat on laptop cover has
already been recognized once in my use in the international aiport! Truly
Wildcats are all over!
I also have been doing some
listening to the music around me while in the airport and have heard quite the
mixture. Not only were some in French but also heard some of the tunes that I
was used to. Here are a few

I am super excited to finish up the
last leg of my journey and arrive with the rest of our group. There are
supposed to be 58 of us from land grant universities all throughout the U.S.
and a few from other international universities, Hong Kong and Lebanon. There
are 4 of us Wildcats and the only one I know is Jorge Torrebiarte through a
mutual friend of ours who is also studying abroad this summer in Germany, James
Krotz. Anyways, I still am waiting to finish the last leg of my journey and
cannot wait to start showing you all pictures of my summer.
This next set of quotes was
inspired by my film watching on the plane into Brussels since I got to see the
movie, Oz: The Great and Powerful.
“That
proves you are unusual, and I am convinced that the only people worthy of
consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like
the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed.”- Scarecrow
“As a
matter of fact, we are none of us above criticism; so let us bear with each
other's faults.”- L. Frank Baum, The
Marvelous Land of Oz
