Reading and writing through time and space.
Well, it seems that after my Mystery Blogger Award post, a few of you showed interest in hearing about my two weeks abroad at Oxford University last summer. I was hoping you would, as I have been meaning to write about my studies and adventures for a while now. This post ought to get the … Continue reading My Oxford Scholastica Summer: Classes, Castles, and (lots of) Coffee
Guten tag, friends! *exhales* I am exhausted. I have taken on more hours at work, decided to transfer to the online division of my university due to my lovely friend COVID, and have scarce had the chance to write, read, or study my beloved German. My brain has found itself addled beyond belief, and now, … Continue reading The Mystery Blogger Award
Hallo, friend, wherever you may be in your little corner of the earth. I hope this post is finding you well, in good health, and in good spirits. At this point, I'm starting to feel like a heroine from one of my favorite books. I wake up each morning (usually with my hair in either … Continue reading In Answer to Quarantine: Beautiful Things to Keep You Sane
Guten tag, meine Freunde. 🙂 I hope you find yourselves well at this very eerie point in history in which we witness the coronavirus pandemic sweep the globe. Is it not odd? Does it not feel a bit apocalyptic? Dystopian, even? Just a bit? In my corner of the world, I'm currently not leaving … Continue reading The Prayers of a Heart that Hurts
O Lord, I am not worthy of you. Come in my heart and soul and mind, guide my every thought, word, and deed. St. Germaine de Pibrac I have read about quite a few saints over the course of the last month, but none of them have stirred my heart quite so much as little … Continue reading St. Germaine: The Good Treasure of One’s Heart
Lots of saint-spammy 😉 posts are in the works, my readers, but before I post my first one, I have a special something to write about. Guess what? I just finished Doctor Who series 5! Well, last week I did. And let me say that it was brilliant. 😉 But that last two-parter. "The Pandorica Opens/The Big … Continue reading A Study in Doctor Who: The Spirit of Man and the Heart of God
The Happy Trinity is her home: nothing can trouble her joy. She is the bird that evades every net: the wild deer that leaps every pitfall. Like the mother bird to its chickens or a shield to the arm'd knight: so is the Lord to her mind, in His unchanging lucidity.... She may walk among … Continue reading Fiat Mihi Secundum Verbum Tuum: What I Intend to Learn from the Lives of Female Saints
Hello, my lovely friends. *exhales* So, I realize that I haven't written since November. And that really and truly makes me very sad. It has been quite the month, and so much has happened since I last wrote. But, my dear readers, you mustn't chide me for my inactivity on this blog. I've been writing … Continue reading The Chief End of Man and My Resolution for 2020
My beautiful friends! How art thou? How goest thou October? I have been having a rather enjoyable time of things myself, albeit an exhausting, mind-bending, altogether insane one (what with the mess of school and all). But, in other news, I got bangs, so that made me happy: Still not sure if I'll do it … Continue reading Story Spotlight Post: Christopher Marlowe’s “Doctor Faustus”
When I say multi-racial, I mean multi-racial. Not one, not two, but three different cultures make up me. Some take up more space in my little seventeen-year-old self than others, but hey, they are all equally dear to me, and over the years, I've learned not to be ashamed of being a melting pot of … Continue reading Being Multi-Racial: What I’ve Learned and Why I Love It (as told in gifs)
