Semester 37: “The good, the better, and the beautiful”

As Wednesday approached (our last day of classes), we were frantic to get all of our work in. Monday through Wednesday was filled with essay writing and presentation practicing. In Josh’s english class, our final project was to chose a scene from any text we’ve read over the semester, adapt it by adding dialogue, and

HMI Gap 2016: Home

“One never reaches home,’ she said. ‘But where paths that have an affinity for each other intersect, the whole world looks like home, for a time.”  Our time has come and gone, as last week the tight-knit Gap 2016 family said our inevitable, but nonetheless difficult goodbyes. Some students and instructors stayed in South America,

Semester 37: “Getting as much as we can from these last few days”

This last week of the semester means a last push for the academics. In almost all of our classes we have had final projects.

HMI Gap 2016: Why Do We Travel?

Upon arriving in Chile over two weeks ago, after many hours of traveling, we quickly got to see the breathtaking Patagonian landscape and culture. We spent the first few days getting prepared for our most challenging expedition yet, shopping for our ration at the local grocery store, reviewing the route with the instructors, and mentally preparing for
