My Summer Internship at Behaviour Interactive
Man, talk about out of the fray and into the fire. I had no idea my first two weeks at Behaviour Interactive would be so intense. I felt like had no idea what I was doing, what my tasks were, or what the game was supposed to look like. I had never worked on mobile-level graphics before (let alone anything in a real production environment). Continue reading
After living here in Montreal for the majority of 2014, I have most definitely heard the place “Mount Royal” being thrown around in my time here. It’s surprising in some ways that I have spent all this time here and yet my first visit to Mount Royal is a scant few weeks before we return to the U.S. at the end of the semester. Continue reading
While my co-blogger Lucy will be writing the final post of the school year, I’d still like to take this time as the semester comes to a close to reflect on everything I’ve experienced during my time in the city of Montreal. Continue reading
Roman Catholic Churches are usually well constructed and decorated; however, I have yet to see a Catholic Church built at the magnitude of St Joseph Oratory. In fact, it is Canada’s largest church. Continue reading
With the snow still on the ground the students of Champlain College’s Study Aboard Program are ready for the first weekend of April.

Let me get one thing straight: Champlain College study abroad program in Montreal is not only for “gamers”. If I believed what was being said on campus in Burlington, I would have never studied abroad in Montreal. Continue reading

The art doesn’t just stop at the framed art on the walls but continues past that, to the walls and the hallways connecting the different exhibits. Each room is completely taken over by an individual artist who gets to arrange their room however they please. Continue reading
The journey to visit Saint Joseph Oratory began on a beautiful Thursday morning, without a cloud in the sky-lucky for me. Naturally, I took the wrong street and entered from the neighboring alley. I looked to my left and saw the majestic oratory. Quite a few years had passed since my last visit, so I had forgotten how overwhelmingly large the site was. Continue reading
It takes a lot of personal courage to adapt in another country, culture, and community. The first time I was away from home for a long period of time it was uncomfortable for me, but I don’t think I was ready. Now 5 years later being in Montreal I have adapted so well I don’t want to leave. Continue reading
