Today was insane.Whoever planned this itinerary was out of their mind to think that you can do both the Muse D'Orsay and the Louvre in one day.When I came to Paris in 6th grade I remember spending a lot of time in both of these museums.They are both so awesome, it is hard to go through them quickly.The Muse D'Orsay was probably my second favorite museum on the trip so far (With the Louvre at a close third).I really enjoyed all the impressionism paintings.I saw th...

Today is another pretty boring travel day, so instead of talking about the nothing that I did all day I am going to tell you all about the people here.Group 3 is AMAZING!!!I'm pretty sure we got the best Oxford group ever.The girls are all girls that I would have loved and been good friends with at home and they guys are really nice and funny too.I think our group dynamic is different than a normal study abroad group.We hang out as a big group A LOT.We go out to ...

Today was another travel day.I usually don't have a whole lot to say on travel days, but this one was a little extraordinary.I can't even describe how beautiful this ride was.We wound all through the mountains into Switzerland.The entire trip, the mountains were overwhelmingly beautiful.I actually saw a pack of goats standing sideways on the mountain.The landscape was a rich green color.All I can say is that God really knew what he was doing when he created those...

Today we had 2 lectures.As much as I love class and all, staying awake for 2 & half hours of lectures is a bit painful when you have only had a couple hours of sleep.But I made it through alive.After lectures we went to the Scrovegni Chapel.This chapel was really cool because it had a ton of little paintings all along the walls.On one side it had depictions of the life of Christ.On the other it showed the lives of Mary and her father.Then on either side it ha...
