Yay for Friday!! That means one thing for us in Italy.. It's the weekend and no curfew! Usually on Fridays we don't have any scheduled classes and that means that we have more time for traveling and just having fun. However, today that was not the case. Today, we had only a few classes: Medeteranean Diet/Nutrition and First Aid and Emergency lectures. We talked mainly about the Italains diet and how it is very different from that of an American Diet. After that l...

Well today lets just say that I'm glad that I was smart and wore tennis shoes.. on the other hand it was hot as hell in jeans. Today was very interesting for all of us.

It was amazing to get to walk through one of the most famous factories from the 1900's. ...

Today is start of week 4. I never thought that when they told us that after the first 2 weeks that time would begin to really fly by.. it wasn't until today that I realized this. In many ways it made me sad because that just means that we are that much closer to leaving, yet at the same time its that much time that I have been on my own and had time to grow in my own direction.
