So as usual I am very behind on updating my blog. Thanks to this whole experience I realize how terrible am at blogging. This is probably due to the fact that I every second I get to stay in Rome I just want to relax. You would not believe how stressful it is to travel. Yes I know people will probably laugh at this because I am so lucky to have this opportunity, and I do realize that. But planning trips is really stressful! Especially for me because I always like to make sure that I have all transportation figured out including how to get to and from the airport and how to walk to and find the hostel. I am a planner, and I can’t help it. I just like to know what’s going on.
Before updating on all the places I have been in the last two weeks I just wanted to comment on the trip as a whole. The Pantheon Institute that I am studying with planned a trip for the week before Thanksgiving that included Florence, Verona, and Venice. The second week I planned a trip with four friends to travel to London, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, and Dublin. Needless to say it was a hectic two weeks, but totally worth it.
I see everyone posting their first entries in anticipation of coming abroad for the spring and it is so interesting to look back and think how much I have learned and gained from this semester. I’m now a seasoned traveler, able to pack two weeks of clothes into a carry on sized suit case. If you had asked me to do that before coming here I would have called you crazy. I’ve tasted wine in Tuscany, eaten chocolate in Perugia, tried tea in London, and drank Guinness in Dublin. It is has been a semester of amazing and life changing experiences and I am so sad that it will be over in two weeks.
In the mean time, I will be updating my blog with pictures from the rest of my travels and probably complaining about the studio work that I have put off all semester. That’s all for now, but more pictures to come later!
