Time Flies When You're Having Fun 11/26/13
I can’t believe how fast time has gone since I arrived in Italy. We are now just three weeks away from the end of the program and I am definitely having mixed feelings. I am ready to be home to see everyone, but I also know how much I am going to miss everyone I […]

A sight, an adventure, and a newfound love 11/22/13

San Gimignano: Authentic Italy 11/18/13
On a normal weekend here I was able to escape reality and enter Italy. This was the Italy that you see in movies, as cliche as that sounds. It was the Italy where no modern concepts on life have interfered, it was simple and it was beautiful. I found this Italian oasis in San Gimignano, […]

The Nightmare on Vegetarian Street 11/12/13
I always believed I was quite the carnivore, but then again I never ate a meal in Dublin, Ireland. It was around dinner time, and my stomach began to make its grumbling calls for a meal. As we searched for a restaurant we all agreed the best first meal in Ireland would be at a […]

Plenty of Cooking, Culture, and Community 11/12/13
There’s nothing like catching up after a week away, and that’s what this week has been all about. A lot of my time was spent going to class, doing homework, attending LEAP seminars, and studying for midterms, but we also had time to have some fun as well. One evening this week we had the […]

The telling flag 11/12/13
One detail defined a city; it embodied everything that Barcelona entails. As I emerged from the underground metro, I found myself among cream apartment buildings and street vendors with the arrays of colorful flowers. It was one small detail that caught my eye in the midst of the vibrant city. Once I noticed it, I […]
