I woke up around 8 AM today with a pretty rough sleep. That is okay though because this is likely one of the last, or the last time I will stay in a hostel. They serve their purpose, but I am over them. I got up at 8 AM and couldn't sleep in any longer.... Continue Reading →
As a young student traveler, I often looks for the cheapest flights I can find. Since the two closest airports, Geneva and Lyon, are both pretty far away, this usually leads to me having to wake up absurdly early. Today would be significantly better, as my flight to London was not until 4 PM. Not... Continue Reading →
With my exams temporarily done for the time being, I had no desire to get up early today. This meant me sleeping in until 11 AM today. My agenda for the day was very simple: pack for London and go to the gym. I took some time to really enjoy my breakfast morning after being... Continue Reading →
Today is the first day of exams. Usually these days are more stressful at BU, but I was feeling pretty prepared this morning. I got up at 8:15 and spent a little too long looking at my phone before getting up. The schedule for today was differential equations at 9:30 and quantum mechanics at 1:30.... Continue Reading →
I woke up around 9:30 today and lounged around for a bit before getting up. I almost always set two alarms on the weekend, but have been getting up after hearing the first one. What usually happens is that I see I have a bunch of notifications when checking the time, then feel compelled to... Continue Reading →
Despite an exhausting day of travel, I found myself only sleeping in until 8:30. I did spend about forty-five minutes on my phone, so some of the productivity of getting up early was lost. I couldn't shower last night, so that was my first task this morning. Once I was clean and dressed, I ate... Continue Reading →
My train from Monterosso to Pisa was at 9:06, which is pretty late by my standards. This timing was pretty nice because I didn't have to get up any earlier than my family and the station was really close. I got up around 7:45 to pack up all my stuff and shower. We headed out... Continue Reading →
Despite going to bed a little later than intended, it was very nice to sleep in a hotel room rather than my typical hostel. Waking up feeling refreshed, my whole family (Karen, Kim, Uncle Vinny, and Aunt Michele) headed to the free breakfast at the hotel owner’s restaurant. Safe to say this was much classier...

Today was an early start, but not absurdly early like yesterday morning. My train from Milan to Monterosso was at 8:10. The station was also less then a ten minute subway ride from my hostel. I got up a little before 7:00 this morning. I didn't even need my earplugs or eye mask last night,... Continue Reading →
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 →
