It's beginning to look a lot like springggggg!
The weather in Lugano has been getting better and better each week (minus the snow storm) which is making me soo happy because I LOVE spring/ summer and the sun!! Hopefully we can be pool-side by the end of March :) :) (okay, that may be unrealistic, but hey, a girl can dream!)
This is a picture of me, Lindsey and Kelly sitting outside yesterday enjoying the dayyy after we got Mexican food...
When in Rome!
I know I have used that title for everything I have posted about this weekend but seriously, when will I ever be able to use it again?? It seemed to be a common phrase for us to use as an excuse for pretty much everything we did :) On Friday we left early in the morning for the “Eternal City” and got there early afternoon. After figuring out our sketchy hostel situation, we made our way to Vatican...

Mardi Gras, Italian style--- Carnavale 2012 in...
After a week of trying to recover from the exhaustion of our first 10 day break, we were all excited to go to Venice, Italy for the weekend to celebrate Carnavale! But first we had school (such a buzz kill) and we met our new teacher, Kent Nakamoto (head of the marketing department at VT) who was going to teach us Marketing Research for 3 weeks. We also had our first midterm on Thursday in the...
I AMsterdam
On Friday morning, we woke up at the crack of dawn in order to make our first train from London to Brussels. Unfortunately on our way to St. Pancras station we didn’t get to go to King’s Cross Station where the famous 9 ¾ platform is :( When we arrived in Brussels, I immediately started to smell something delicious next to our platform… I followed my nose and stumbled upon heaven… Belgium waffles....
I left my heart in London
No, I didn’t meet Prince Harry and fall in love (God, I wish… sorry Jacob), but I am in love with the city of London! It reminded me of New York City (which I’m obsessed with) except cleaner. All of the buildings and landscapes are beautiful and sooo ornate! On Monday night, we arrived in the fabulous town of London but we were so tired, we only managed to grab some Japanese food before calling it...

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya, Publin!
Finally our first 10 day break arrived! Yippee! Our first stop was Dublin, Ireland which I was SO excited about since it is one of my homelands! How our plans worked out, we ended up not leaving until Saturday morning, which actually worked out well because it gave us time to pack and hang out with Brinberg before he left for a couple weeks. So, like the classy people we are, we ended up hanging...
La bella città di FIRENZE! Ciaooooo! Part II
For our last full day, I made sure to get up bright and early so I could go shopping! Depending on how you look at it was very good or very, very bad… We went to the leather market near San Lorenzo Church and I picked up a couple presents for other people and for myself I casually got a leather jacket… good decision? Bad decision? My rationalization is = when in Italy! AND Florence has the...
La bella città di FIRENZE! Ciaooooo! Part I
After Munich, we really had NO IDEA what we were going to do the next weekend. We initially planned on going to Florence, Italy but then we found out that Italy was having a train/ public transportation strike from Thursday night until Friday night! Why? Who knows! What was my teacher’s answer? “Because they are Italians…” Hmpf. How insightful -___- So then we were all frantically trying to find...
Munich, Munich, Münchennn!!
I am so behind on this blog it’s insane! I’m sorry!! These past two weeks have gone by so fast and have been so busy! So let me start from where I left off…
After my wild weekend in Interlaken, I spent the next week trying to recover (physically and mentally). I was so exhausted from the trip, I tried to catch up on my sleep and help my body slowly recover from the bruises and scars that I had...
