Packing helpers 05/17/13
Since I leave in just a few days, I started going through my suitcase full of stuff I brought back from college with me. As I walked into my living room, I found one of my cats, Tiger, happily laying on my dresses that I had put over the back of the chair so I […]

This is it, our new beginning.. 05/16/13
It’s official, only one more final standing in my way until I leave for Italy! It’s crazy to think that I’ll be there in just four days but I could not be more excited! This has been the craziest week I’ve ever had in school. Not only is this week finals, but the fact that I’m going to […]

Seven Days… 05/14/13
So it’s the Saturday before finals, and ALL I can focus on is that I’m leaving for Italy in SEVEN DAYS. It’s so surreal!! It’s hard to believe I’m about to be living in another country for a month! Especially somewhere as beautiful as Paderno del Grappa! I have a countdown going on a whiteboard […]

Saying Goodbye to Europe… 04/15/13
Just a few days ago, I had to say goodbye to some of the best people I have ever met. I am lucky to say that a good handful of the great people I met live within a drivable distance to see and visit, but there are a few who live many miles away. It […]

Extra, Extra read all about it 04/02/13
Ciao, For me one of the biggest reasons for picking this study abroad program over the hundreds of others, besides its location, was the fact that it had several extra programs that were structured to facilitate extra experiences that would not be available in other programs. These programs are LIFE, LEAP, and CAP. LIFE (Leadership Initiatives For […]

Chilling out, maxing, and relaxing all cool 04/02/13
Ciao, After one of the hardest weeks we have had at Cimba yet, ie. 2 tests, 2 presentations, and 1 paper about 15 of us decided that we were just going to relax and kick it on campus. This turned out to be one of the best weekends that we have had thus far. With […]

Best teachers out there 04/02/13
Ciao, After being in the classroom of a small study abroad program, is it easy to see how different it is from the class atmosphere of our home universities. At CIMBA my largest class is 40 students and my smallest class is 18. My smallest class at my home university was 35 and my largest […]

Island Hopping in Malta 04/02/13
Last week we were on a 7 day trip through Brussels, Budapest, and Milan. While I had an awesome experience traveling, the weather had been very cold for the majority of the trip. It was hard to not get slightly jealous when I saw pictures of all my Virginia Tech friends in Jamaica and Key […]

Czech This Out: Prague Week 10 04/01/13
As my study abroad experience comes close to the end, I have began to feel not only sad that I’ll be bored in Chicago soon, but I will miss seeing different parts of the world every weekend. Skyscrapers in Chi-city do not compare to some of the buildings and monuments I have laid my eyes […]

Cinque Terre 03/27/13
A weekend full of hiking was exactly what I needed after a tough week of classes. I traveled to Cinque Terre (Five Lands), also known as “the place with all the colored buildings on the water,” along with 50 other CIMBA students for adventure. The towns were nothing like the sprawling cities traveling normally consists […]
