We now have two days left of class before being on travel break! It has been super fun hearing about all of the fun places everybody will be going this weekend. I will be traveling with my mom for the first week of fall break and am in the process of planning my final weekend in Bologna.

I had the opportunity to go to Warsaw and Milan this past weekend for our first extended break. The two cities were completely different, and I would do the weekend all over again if I could! I remember when discussing traveling plans with everybody for the long weekend, my friend and I decided to go to Warsaw, and we were met with blank stares. From that, I inferred that not many people at CIMBA (or at home) have been to Poland before and that excited me even more. I have zero regrets about choosing Warsaw.

Ciao from flight number LX55! Today was finally the day for my trip to Italy. September 15th feels like a late start date compared to what I am used to at my home university, but it makes me more eager to explore, as I am craving academic and social connection I am used to during the early fall months. I am excited for the three months ahead and all that I will learn.
