Il y a deux matins, j’ai soumis ma demande pour obtenir mon diplôme! Je flippe, un peu. Et maintenant? Two mornings ago, I submitted my application for graduation. I’m flipping out a little. And now? En fait, j’ai beaucoup des plans, donc… je ne suis pas stressée par “et maintenant”. In fact, I have many […]
My name is Nikki Hegstrom. I returned to school last year to finish my degree and am working towards my B.A. in Comparative History of Ideas (CHID) with Honors. I have been working in web development for about 15 years, which I currently do freelance, though my desire is to work within the global community […]
This will be the link to all of my thoughts and posts regarding the UW Berlin Honors 2017 Study Abroad Program: Negotiating Identities and Mediating Communities. Stay tuned!
marHaba! The quarter began mid last week and this Monday marks the beginning of the first full week of classes. My classes are all interesting and fun and OH MY GOD, I mentioned that I’m learning Arabic, right? On one hand, it’s no big thing – this is what I do! I learn languages! I […]
165 days until I head off to Berlin to study abroad for 10 weeks. That’s less than 6 months! I am already making lists of food ideas for Husband to give to Kid, already plotting the huge batches of soups and other meals to freeze for them to have on hand. And I am already packing. […]
I had two finals today, one in mid morning and the other not until mid afternoon. It was a loooooooong day. I stayed up too late making feeble attempts to study last night and then got up at 5:30am this morning (which still felt like 4:30am to my suprachiasmatic nucleus). Husband was out of town at […]
Rainy days, sunny days – every day of my Autumn quarter at University of Washington was awesome.
Bright and early for my last final of the quarter. Glad I already get up at 5am every day so being on campus 2 hours earlier was no big thing! Thankful for the lack of torrential rain this morning, for the walk from bus stop to lecture hall.
One of the many, many things that I enjoy about this back-to-school experience is finally trying sorting out public transport around Seattle. I actually really enjoy taking the bus – I like the views, the early morning at the bus stop, the view out the bus window (even in the pouring rain)… and I LOVE […]
I am deep into my first quarter at UW and can I LOVE IT. My biopsych class is everything I’d hoped it would be AND MORE. At the very last minute (as in, a couple days into the start of the quarter), I wound up having to rearrange my schedule and swap out a class. […]
Since classes have started up again, I’m back to my old habits – constant, obsessive studying. This morning, after I made myself a latte with my swanky still-new espresso machine, I looked down at my espresso and realized I’d inadvertently made latte art! Don’t see it? Look closer… when I looked down I immediately thought, […]
