For probably the fifth time this semester, I got up absurdly early to catch a bus. With a 5:45 bus, I got up at 4:15 and made sure to leave by 4:55. It was a forty minute walk and I wanted to make sure I had enough time. This walk really isn't too bad though,... Continue Reading →
We got up around 8:30 to make sure we had enough time to get to mass. We had decided to go to Easter mass on our island of Lido instead of main-land Venice since it would be a huge pain and super crowded there. We found a local church on the island that was about... Continue Reading →
In an effort to make the most of the day, all three of us got up early around 7:30. We didn't even need an alarm, we woke up from the lightning storm going on outside. We were hoping the forecast would be wrong, but it was raining this morning. For breakfast, Nick cooked the eggs... Continue Reading →
Today was the Ides of March, the same day when Julius Caesar got stabbed 23 times in 44 BC. I was hoping my circuits exam and physics quiz wouldn't so the same to me today. I gave myself about an extra hour to relax this morning before class. I knew it would be a long... Continue Reading →
Today started a little rougher than I would have liked, as I was decently hung over. This is a pretty rare occasion for me, but we were in no rush to start the day so it was okay. We all lounged around for a bit and took turns taking showers. If you have seen season... Continue Reading →
After an eternity of delayed buses and traveling, I finally arrived in Paris around 9:30 AM. Waiting the 4 hours for our delayed bus made me so exhausted that I actually slept well. Sleeping well and traveling on busses are two things that don't often mix well for me. We got off the bus to... Continue Reading →
Today started early, too early, around 6:45 am. Fridays are my worst day for classes and I have class from 8 am to 5 pm. I got ready for school, ate breakfast, and headed to class. Electric circuits went surprisingly quickly because we were just working on practice problems. We also learned about Grenoble's famous... Continue Reading →
Before I start my blog post, I want to plug another travel blog, my brother's. https://drewinchina.wordpress.com Andrew is also studying abroad, but with NYU in Shanghai, China. I'm sure his experience will be vastly different than mine, but nonetheless very interesting. Also Andrew is way better writer than me and is award-winning! He has written... Continue Reading →
After coming home somewhat late and not having class until 1:30, I slept in to around 10:30 today. Once I ate breakfast, I got changed and typed up the rest of my blog for yesterday. I also spent some time reviewing my French conjugations as I hadn't had French class since Saturday. Today was an... Continue Reading →
