My AUSome Trip

The adorable little girl on the left is my six year old niece on her first day of first grade. She has been counting down the days of summer and is so excited to be joining the world of school-ies. And you guessed it: There on the right is me, on the first day of […]

Summer vacation is finally upon me. After completing two summer classes and my audiology internship I’m finally on vacation and I have twenty days before fall semester. Let the summer-ing begin! I love visiting museums because you always feel like you’re learning something even while you’re simply enjoying the art. There’s a sense of calm […]

This week the Brooklyn College Honors Lounge held its annual Travel Art show. Students who traveled, studied, and volunteered abroad shared pictures and stories with each other. Plus, a cultural potluck! Out of approximately 2,000 digital photos that took  in Australia, I chose five that reflected how inviting Melbourne was by choosing photos that emphasized […]

…of glory. Just kidding. Actually, I’m back in Brooklyn and back to college. My semester starts on Friday and I have a full line up of really interesting classes: An audiology class, a class about speech disorders, 3-D design, and a really exciting course about New Orleans before, during and after 2005’s Hurricane Katrina. Since […]

To tell you the truth, I love flying. I love airports. I love the feeling of having a destination to look forward to and the feeling of leaving somewhere where people will miss you. And let’s face it, when do I get to sit back and watch back to back movies, especially recently-released special features. […]

I’m already starting to miss this beautiful, inviting, creative, happy, relaxed city. I thought I’d be calling Melbourne home for just a few months, but I didn’t know I’ve created a permanent tether to this place. Melbourne may be really far away, but it will always be close to my heart. Presenting a preemptively nostalgic […]

Hey Everyone! You must know by know that I love art, and therefore museums. With all due respect to classics, I must say that Modern Art grabs your attention and imagination in an underhanded way. You try to get inside the artist’s head and understand why they would do such a thing. Of course, there’s […]

Yesterday’s date was August 1st which means I’ve been here for a month! How amazingly exciting is that! I had two distinct thoughts yesterday because of this significant “monthversary” 1. I proudly realize just how adaptive I could be. I love Melbourne as much as, if not more so, than I expected I would. Like I […]

Turns out that one of the things I’m really enjoying about Melbourne is how creative, expressive and colorful the architecture is. Just walking around the  city, I’ve been able to capture some beautiful buildings and wondering just what was going through the designer’s mind while picking colors, angles and materials for their buildings. When I […]

I can’t believe it’s in five days! In just five days I’ll be going to Australia for a four-month study-abroad adventure. And I can’t help but be excited about the silliest things and nervous about the least consequential things as well. Like seeing the international terminal in JFK that I’ve never been to and who […]

What will be the future of technology? 9

Welcome to a renewed season of sun-shining, flower-blooming and a whole lot of loud sneezing! Allergies are back, but that won’t stop me from enjoying the return of my favorite flower- Lilacs! Can you guess why? Enjoy, Lilach 7

This is what happens when you minor in linguistics while majoring in an anatomy-heavy subject like Speech Pathology and Audiology! You go crazy!!! Hope you learn something new…It’ll only take a minute. 9

In a previous post, I spoke about my incredible fascination with phonetics. I made a few tutorials using a method that some youtubers such as Josh Sundquist and Vi Hart use. Enjoy this little presentation about the basics of phonetics, of course condensing many hours of studying into mere minutes. A big thank-you goes out […]

A fountain. It almost looks like dancing the way they synchronize the jet streams. Pretty amazing. I love thinking about who thinks about the way things around you are. Who sits there at their 9-5 job designing the path the water will go? And how much water will pass through the pipes? And the fluctuation […]
