As always, residency was an intense rush of…everything. Learning, old friends, new friends, challenges, independence, enlightenment, restaurant food, missing family, late nights, endurance, and all sorts of wonderfulness.
I took very few pictures this time around. But what I do have are some special favorites.
Favorite view of the Brown Hotel lobby from my favorite little study nook.
Favorite secret passageway on campus (through the pretty arches)
Favorite quiet place to sit on campus with the biggest, most beautiful tree.
Favorite night at the hotel...watching Roy (faculty) play the piano while Erin and Nicole (alum and classmate) sang their hearts out. Even more entertaining was watching them be lectured by the hotel manager for being too wild for the Brown. Also of note: My current mentor for this semester is on the far right (Fenton Johson).
And some favorite Spalding friends (Liz and Farah)…our trio goes all the way back to residency in Italy.
My hope is to graduate in Greece next summer (crossing my fingers!), so this may have been my last residency at the Spalding campus in Louisville. Thankfully alums are always welcome to visit, so I plan to come crash the party many more times in the years to come.

Looks awesome....and holy cow your hair is long! Has it been that long since I've seen you? We need to fix that! :)
I know, Christen! I miss you. We need to hang out this summer!
Your residencies always look so elegant and fun :) what are you studying again?... I can't remember. You look adorable as always!
Shana, I'll be graduating with a Masters of Fine Arts in Writing (specializing in creative nonfiction). It's such an amazing program. I'll be very sad when I'm finished.:)
Ahh :) very fitting for you. I thought it was writing but wasn't sure of the specialized part. Well - I will be sad when you are done too haha. I've been living vicariously through your trips for school when I look at your pictures.
so glad it went well this year! :) and yay for Greece...I've always wanted to go there...I love white so...seems like the place to go for that alone ;)
