June in a Nutshell
The weather this month has been very friendly that most of the days were spent outside. I lost count of how many picnics I’ve had, either real picnics or junk food picnics. Some times we were prepared with proper food and grill. Other times we just needed an excuse to go outside and lie in…

Favorite Bits of Bled
A few months ago, when talking about Slovenia, Maša told me about Bled. I googled it and knew right away that I had to go there. All the photos looked dreamy and magical, and the cheap tickets made it easier for me to decide my Easter break plan. I arrived in Ljubljana on Friday night,…

May
How come it’s June already? It feels like it was just a few days ago that I came back to Southampton from Ljubljana at midnight, deadly exhausted, where in fact it was 6 weeks ago. I honestly can’t remember what I did in those 6 weeks, it’s been such a big blur. Going to the library everyday…

Spring Fever!
The weather has been really great for the past few days. Yesterday it was so sunny that everyone went out with only t-shirt and shorts. Of course, I gladly welcome the sun like a long-lost friend. Having been a whiny girl back home whenever the sun was scorching, I didn’t have the slightest idea that…

Isle of Wight
The thing about living close to the Isle of Wight is, I never actually planned to go there as I thought I could hop on the ferry whenever I wanted and be there in less than an hour. It’s that close. One day I bumped into Lukas at the campus and told him about the plan to…

Review: A Number
