Walking through Clouds 09/30/14
Salve! This week has been crazy to say the least. Classes seem great so far- but I’ve only had two days of them. Strange, right? I’m currently in the LEAP program and Group B (B for Best) took the Da Vinci Challenge. From strategizing how to complete obstacles to going against your natural instincts in […]

Now you're speaking my language! 09/21/14
Salve! (Hello!) For those of you who have traveled abroad, you’ll probably be able to relate to this. Potentially the most frightening part of a travel experience is encountering and working around a language barrier. Since I’ve been in Italy, the most rewarding experiences have been those I’ve shared with the locals who speak little […]

Waking up in Italy. 09/17/14
It’s amazing to finally be in Italy and to be experiencing first-hand how beautiful this campus truly is. Luckily when we finally arrived to campus, the majority of students were just as tired as I was. I suppose this is the only time that jet-lag has actually worked out in my favor. Despite the whole […]

Venice: a good time to sleep? 09/16/14
I have finally arrived to this beautiful campus! After some long plane rides I’ve made it. Unfortunately I have been fighting to stay awake with the six hour difference. I took British Airways from Philadelphia to London and London to Venice. (Well technically Finnair for the first flight- owned by BA). I had a really […]

Italy is calling! 09/09/14
Okay- so here we go: my pre-departure blog. I am currently sitting at my family’s kitchen table in Florida just day dreaming of a place with the temperature below 90 degrees. My biggest dilemma in study away prep has been packing, well the procrastination that keeps getting in my way of packing. I am so […]

Destination: Europe 09/04/14
It’s finally here. Italy is finally here! Even now as I type it out it just doesn’t seem real, the realization that I will be studying abroad for three whole months across the world is just now becoming a reality. Excitement is an understatement. I suppose I should introduce myself… My name is Natalie Butler, […]

The Highlight Reel 07/09/14
Wow. That was an action packed month. It seems like only yesterday that I couldn’t believe it was actually starting, and now I’m shocked that it’s over. I think my favorite thing about this experience was really all of the people I met, both Italians and Americans. As cool as the sightseeing and tourist-ing was, […]

The Time of My Life 07/09/14
I saw things I’ll remember for the rest of my life on this trip. Watching the sunset from the Riomaggiore harbor, the vast beauty of the Duomo Cathedral in Florence, the stone walls of the Colloseum and the divine sight of the Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. I could go […]

That's a wrap 07/07/14
I’ve been home now for about 24 hours, and the only feeling I have is denial. The last six weeks have been an absolute whirlwind with little sleep, and I still cannot believe it actually happened. I went to Europe, something so many people have never had the opportunity to do. I still think I […]
