A Chocoholic's Dream Come True 10/17/12
This past week, we had our first week of independent travel. I had the opportunity to travel to the South of France, Paris, and Interlaken, Switzerland.

Rain Rain Go Away 10/04/12
Salve! This weekend I adventured off to Verona and I wouldn’t say that I had the best of luck when it came to this trip. Saturday morning, we woke up in this charming little bed & breakfast that we were staying at, called B&B Villa dei Pini, and were greeted by a plate of homemade […]

This past weekend was our first travel weekend here at CIMBA, so naturally a large group of us planned our first trip to Firenze, or Florence in the Italian region of Tuscany.

Salve! The title of this post is a quote from Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken and this idea definitely applied to my weekend.

It's Finals Time in Paderno! 04/11/12
It is crazy to think that there are only 3 days and 5 finals between me and the start of my summer! Usually I am eagerly counting down to the start of summer for weeks, but this year it is definitely bittersweet. On one hand, I am so excited to see all of my friends […]
