I'm Back

Oh... Hey Blog!

SO I never did get that new blog I claimed I would. But I did keep my old blog. I knew with my insatiable wanderlust, I would need it again for some great excursion that would need to be thoroughly documented. After a cleaning, I figure it's time to bring Franpan back to life.

It's been about 2 years since I wrote on this blog and change had occured. Nothing momentous of course. I just got married and had a baby. Just kidding. That's a pretty horrifying thought. I still can hardly take care of myself let alone a boyfriend, let alone a husband, let alone a baby. You see? Nothing has changed that much.

I still go to Clemson University, best school in the nation. Don't even bother trying to argue this one. I'll just pull out the stubborn French "i'm right and your wrong" card. I no longer study Language and International Trade. I'm going to be a teacher instead. History. High School. Though I'm not entirely sure what the future holds at this point. As long as I continue to wake up in the morning, go for a run, bake cookies, and bring home A's and B's I'm a happy person.

I'm a proud sister of Kappa Alpha Theta, so briefly I gave up my weirdo travel-bug granola-esque drop out of life to become a nomad in order to become a  sorority girl. That was fun, but it wasn't me. Luckily, I have found a pretty good middle ground. That's another story all together.

I still run. Running is such a big part of me, that I'm beginning to forget the person I was before the running started. While this hasn't changed, my mileage certainly has. I'm a marathon runner now. 26.2 miles. 3 half-marathons down as well.

So why else would I come on here? Okay, sure I've been reminiscing a bit and reading about my mishaps in France and Japan. But in reality, there is only reason I would come on here and begin writing again.

I'm going abroad. Again.

Through the Clemson Calhoun Honors College, I was accepted as a Dixon Global Policy Scholar. That is a Maymester if France and Germany, followed by several classes on public policy and intellectual ideas. I am extremely excited about the opportunity. 10 days is Strasbourg, France with 12 of the coolest, smartest, and most interesting people. I'm excited.
