About

Thoughts and adventures from my time in Scotland.

Thanks to the generosity of the St. Andrew's Society of Philadelphia, I spent a semester abroad in Scotland. Now, I'm returning for an M.Litt. in Systematic and Historical Theology! I'll be updating this blog to stay in touch with friends and family and to keep a virtual diary of my experiences. Follow along as I study and explore at the University of St. Andrews.

About Ellen:

I am a graduate of the Templeton Honors College at Eastern University with a degree in Classics and minors in History and Philosophy. I am pursuing an M.Litt. in Systematic and Historical Theology from St. Mary's College at the University of St. Andrews.

When I'm not studying, you might find me baking, cross-stitching, swing dancing, Scottish Country Dancing, or reading poetry.

"We shall not cease from exploration/And the end of all our exploring/Will be to arrive where we started/And know the place for the first time."
