Salutations! It is a Shamus that only one person is here for the last student blog post. So the swan song of such a sequence of student submissions is Sir Solitaire Shamus (the Strange-Slash-Silly) of Shamrock. I can certainly try to make this last post count. Shall we get started? I came on this trip… Read more »
Living in Greece -living out of a suitcase
There are several little experiences and moments I have been listing in my journal and that I will miss when this trip is over. The way the sunset paints the mountains with a layer of orange pink. The crunch of gravel under our feet in the quiet as we walked through Delos. The soft light… Read more »
Look to the Future
During my time on Paros, I have learned a lot and seen even more. From hopping around rocks in Noussa bay to trying every flavor of gelato that I could, I know that it has been a trip to remember. Since I have now finished my video projects for the program, I am waiting on… Read more »

What’s Yet to Come
This whole study abroad trip has been a roller coaster. There has been a lot that has thrown me off, and a lot has surprised me. For one, I never expected to have eaten 18 gyros by this point in the trip; yet here I am, bloated but never better. With only a week left… Read more »

I’m honestly not sure what to write about this time; I’ve had such grand adventures, filled with excitement and danger, rewards a plenty, and even mournful sorrow, that I don’t quite know where to begin. It’s been so long that I’ve been here and yet not long enough as I soon must take my leave…. Read more »
Micah here again!
Eight more days to go and 95% of me wants to go back home, but the remainder of the 5% wants to stay here in Paros forever. I appreciate what this experience has done for me personally. I didn’t really know what to expect when I was coming here, but I have experienced so much,… Read more »
Elegance in a Crop Top
Paros is a dream, and I think I could live here forever. The weather is wonderful, if blazingly hot. The ocean is beautiful, its refreshing breeze carrying across the city. The food is cheap and delicious, and I can walk to a dozen excellent restaurants from the villa. A lot of buildings, especially in residential… Read more »
