It finally hit me two days ago. I moved to China. Like, I am here and don’t have a ticket back to America. I live here and work here and have a residents permit. These are my people. This is my neighborhood, and I am here for the long haul. I have house keys and a bike and a bank account (that I can’t read) and this is my life. I just realized this three weeks into my life in Hangzhou.
And you know what? After it hit me, I thought…”cool.”

The everyday life of a college student gets monotonous after a while. From mind-numbing classes to excruciatingly boring homework, students deserve a break and peace of mind, if only for one day a month.
Art Galleries of St. Augustine gives that day to students as well as to all other members of the St. Augustine community.
They sponsor the First Friday Art Walk, an event rich in culture, originality and enthusiasm for art in its many forms.
Regular participants in the monthly event include Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, The Pegasus Gallery, Energy Lab Gallery, Rembrantz Fine Gifts, The Gallery at Screen Arts, Rachel Thompson Gallery, Classic Blends, Flagler College’s Crisp-Ellert Art Museum and many others, each featuring new and distinct exhibits.

It made my week. That the Eagles game was aired in Arizona this past Sunday.
Not only that it was aired, but that I got to see them win against the Steelers. Buoy-yah! Strangely enough, their punter Sav Rocca came up big and really made a difference in the game.
The only downfall of getting to see my team play was that I exhausted myself screaming in both elation and frustration, and my throat hurt the rest of the night. I had forgotten about the physical impact that watching the Eagles had on me. But oddly, I loved it at the same time.

Flagler’s men’s soccer team is ranked fifth in the South Region. The Saints have kicked it into high gear with a 4-2 start, blanking nationally-ranked Nova Southeastern University, 4-0, at home.
“That was the most satisfying win yet,” said John Lynch, men’s head soccer coach. “I knew we could always do it, but with the win over Nova, it really showed the guys what they could achieve.”
