When we were at the VanGogh museum in Amsterdam, I told Briann that basically, if you set something at night with the moon over a body of water and incorporate a bridge in some way, I'm sold. Based on that, it shouldn't be hard to see why Venice was my favorite city; there are bridges around every corner, some 400 total I believe our gondolier told us, but that's getting ahead of myself.Leaving

I think I've made you wait long enough for my travel adventures! Here's the story of Vienna!We left Prague on an 8am bus and by 12pm we were in Vienna. After checking into the hostel, and taking showers and naps, we headed out planning to see Mozart's house and poke around the town and the huge flea market. We watched some street performers and were headed to Mozart's when, for once, we were

Hello, hello!I'm back from break and I finally have time to start updating! I can't even describe how amazing the whole trip was, but it's very good to be off the road and back home. I'll start updating by city over the next couple days, but for now, I believe that I promised you some Prague pictures! This is a very random sampling since I had so many:Next time: Vienna!

Unfortunately, Spring Break started off a little rocky. Briann and I missed our flight to Prague on Wednesday and ended up sleeping at the airport to take the 6:30 flight out on Thursday. Needless to say, we were not happy campers when we got to Prague. We didn't miss much though because one of the girls that we were meeting there was sick and so they didn't do much other than sleep before we met

Planning Spring Break has been seriously stressful, and to add onto it, I had to go into the city today to book the trains because I was unable to do it online or over the phone (long story). To top it off, they were doing major rail construction today and the over and underground trains were out of service in some places and it took me three times as long to get into the city as it should

I think I've made you wait long enough to hear about Amsterdam.We left Friday afternoon and our plane got in at about 7:30pm. Of course, after passport control, a train from the airport into Amsterdam and then a tram to the hostel, we were pretty exhausted and just grabbed some food at a pub nearby and passed out for the night.Funny airport story: Going through security on the way to Amsterdam,

Okay, I've really been failing at keeping this updated and since I've missed so much, I'm just going to give you all a quick post to get it at least partially up to speed.3 weeks ago a few friends and I went to see Jane Austen's house. It was amazing and we all totally geeked out when we saw her writing desk. The area was also very beautiful and we might go back when the weather's warmer. Before

Well, it's been almost a week since I've gotten back from Scotland, so I suppose that it's time to write about it!We left at 11pm on Thursday night (19 February, yes, I went to Scotland for Dad's birthday :) on an overnight bus to Edinburgh. We got in at around 7:40am on Friday morning and were all kinds of exhausted. We went and checked into our hostel, Princes Street Backpackers, which was

I know, I know. I haven't posted in forEVER. I apologize. Especially since this post is only going to partially catch you up to speed.First, we must go back in time 2 weeks to February 13, when we had another class trip to tour Parliament and the Globe Theatre. There's not a whole lot to tell, so here are the pictures from that. A good portion of them are stolen from other people since my camera

Well, well, well, do I ever have some pictures for you.Yesterday was Photo Frenzy, an event put on by the study abroad office. It's basically a scavenger hunt. Our team (which we creatively named Team Us [NOT U.S. like the organizers thought]) was given a list of clues such as, "this bridge was only open for a week before it was closed for being too wobbly" and then we had to know this meant

Hey everyone!Well, it's been quite the interesting first week of classes... especially since class was canceled on Monday and Tuesday due to the "huge" amount of snow that we got. It probably amounted to about 5-8 inches total. The majority of the study abroad students are from either New York or Michigan, so we all pretty much thought it was insane that everything closed down because of that

I am so exhausted! I'm really not used to all this walking. I got home around 7pm today and crashed around 7:30 and woke up about 10pm. I figured I'd post the pictures of today for you though.We had a study abroad trip in to Brighton today. There was a lot of really cute shopping that we walked though and then went out and walked out on the pier. Of course, today it was freezing and the pier was

Oh, goodness. I don't even know where to start so much has been going on!Yesterday, we had orientation for all the study abroad students. I met a whole bunch of great, fun people and we are probably going to travel together over the holidays and such!As for classes, my final picks are: British Life and Culture which is something that just about every study abroad student takes and they take you

And it was pretty awesome.I met Casey and her friends in the city at Harrod's. We didn't stay long though. Then on to Camden park, where the shopping is insane. Here are some pics:So, then Case's friends decide to go back to the hotel and she says that she has a surprise for me. As we come up the steps from the underground, slowly what should come into view but...And we tried to get a pic of us

So, it's my first day in the UK and it was a pretty lazy one. But I'm getting ahead of myself.The flight:As it turned out, my brilliant packing skills were actually kind of horrible. I had to split my bag into two bags (good thing I packed a duffel!) because it was soooo heavy. Yes, that was an adventure, especially since I felt pretty crappy at this point (leave it to me to come down with a cold

Oh... my... gosh...I am leaving in 4 days! I can't even believe it's finally happening...Anyway, I wanted to post a little entry to start this off. I'll be updating this journal as often as possible to let you all know what I've been up to, and I'll post any pictures and videos that I take as well.Also, I wanted to let everyone know the various ways that you can contact me while I'm gone. -I
