Mandy Gollaher
Sequedin, France
My name is Mandy, and I can't wait for you to follow along with my French experience for the next five months! I'm from Hopkinton Massachusetts (26.2 miles from Boston) and I live with my Mom, Dad, and devil cat, Tanya, who just may attack you if you're not holding food. When I'm not in France, I enjoy strapping blades to my feet and skating around on ice and using tall poles to try and vault myself as high into the air as I can. I also love writing, and I have been blogging for the last few months with one of my best friends. I love foreign languages and can't wait to talk all about my experience here in France.

Relativity in Non-Astronomical Terms
If you’re wondering if watching Interstellar for the fourth time finally inspired me to become an astrophysicist, unfortunately, not even Matthew McConaughey’s quantifiable love can make multi-dimensional physics appealing to a foreign language nerd. As an exchange student, I prefer to think of relativity in the context of travel; far... Continue reading

Thank Goodness for Coffee Shop Culture
I’m currently writing this blog post whilst sitting in the upstairs lounge of a Starbucks in Lille with a hoard of Americans on my left, and a group of french lycée students on my right. Although I’m drinking my typical winter holiday latte, I’m munching on a pain au chocolat... Continue reading

I am but a Yellow Leaf on a Tree On October 13th, only 3 months remained of my semester abroad. Today, I have even less time, and I’m determined to make the most of these last few months and experience as much as I can before I'm shipped back home... Continue reading
