| 4th January 2009 Leslie | :D - From: Weihnachten in Österreich! Hahaa...what a nutty christmas, I love it! The bits about sledding, your name and flesh absolutely killed me! Miss ya! |
| 10th October 2008 Sarah | oh, the horror - From: A Happy Birthday and a Laundry Problem ah! I know what you mean! My host mom was crazy about that. I was completely out of clothes one day because she took a while to do my laundry (and I was NEVER allowed to touch the washing machine). So I needed pants...and they weren't completely dry at the seams, but they were wearable. It was either that or go out in my underwear. But she came over and gave me this lecture about the dangers of wearing pants that were still slightly damp around the edges. god forbid. I mean, you might die. I hope you realize that, Elizabeth. Wet=instant DEATH. now, have a cigarette. |

| 7th December 2006 anonymous | signs - From: What letter is it? I'll give you a hint... oh, that poor little stick figure worried about the lake held up by walls! I feel like I need to experience italy with you, babe. We notice the same things... The eye doctor experience made me think of my dad's one piece of advice before I go abroad: "Don't let anyone touch your teeth!!" Lovely pictures. I hope your eye gets better...and you know what. I'll see you so soon! soo good! |

| 24th October 2006 Leslie Britt | Haha - From: I ate a brain! Unfortuntely I have not heard the paranoia song in paris, but I have done the bryn mawr run-sometimes it's just necessary (and I apologize for having made fun of you @ bmc ) congrats on eating the brain-i don't think i'll have to worry about being confronted with "cervello di mukka" because my host family doesn't even eat red meat. the worst thing I've had is paté. Tu me manques! |

| 4th August 2006 Nicole | Sign me up! - From: Class begins! Ciao bella Elizabetta! After reading all of your posts, I'm sitting here at my desk contemplating how I can do a semester abroad too. My co-worker told me that at my age it's not called a "semester abroad" but rather a sabbatical or more likely a mid-life crisis. Whatever it's called, I wish I could join you! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. As others have said, you're a great writer and I can't wait to read more! |

| 25th July 2006 BL | - From: Ciao from Siena!! I'm so glad that you're having such an adventure already!
