Shipping out

Posted on February 12, 2011 by mkrauszer

I am currently at the home of fellow Logger Cat Jenks and family. Nestled in the snow-packed city of Sherborn, MA, we have spent a relaxing few days enjoying a real home and real vegetables. I wouldn’t complain about the … Continue reading →

Thoughts of Rapture

Posted on February 8, 2011 by mkrauszer

Storms. Perhaps a rant.

Posted on January 27, 2011 by mkrauszer

We weathered our first storm as a crew this week. Unfortunately, I’m not talking about the snow. The white weather was, in fact, the relief from our trials. This week’s challenge: exam grades. I don’t mean to be a student … Continue reading →

The Enlightenment

Posted on January 18, 2011 by mkrauszer

I am in my second week at the Sea Education Association campus in Massachusetts. I still haven’t figure out how to spell Massachusetts without help from the autocorrect. It’s really about where you chose to apply yourself. This week’s update is … Continue reading →

Studying at Sea

Posted on January 6, 2011 by mkrauszer

Many Puget Sound students go looking for the paradigm-shifting, character-challenging, horizon-expanding, once-in-a-lifetime adventure that is the Undergraduate Study Abroad Experience.
