Euro Jules

Amber is officially gone. She left this morning. I had to drop her off at the airport last night because her flight left this morning at 6am. I miss her. I am realizing how hard it is going to be to leave the people I have met. Feeling a little down today. I am exhausted, still recovering from uni stress, and an emotional case! This trip has changed my life and I have met amazing people. Goodbye's are the worst and some of these goodbye's are "have a nice life" (quote taken from amber) or as Josh would say "have a nice life and dont die soon." Leaving Josh is going to kill me as well. I can't believe I leave a week from Saturday to go back to work and summer school. Enough of my ... read more

Ciao! Well I made it to my homeland of I Italy. I forgot how much I love the country. I am planning to study there for my masters. I love the feel of the Italians. When I arrived I realized how weak my Italian skills were. I can't wait to really work on my skills next semester at UNT. Rome is an amazing place and it is going to be hard to describe the beauty of the things I saw. I arrived at the airport and caught the train to the city. I got to the hostel right as they choose the new Pope. It was awesome because the bells were ringing at the Vatican and you could hear them from our hostel. I got there to find Josh asleep in his bed. He had the ... read more

Well I finished all four papers! Ah 8,500 words done... What are they thinking making a cool girl like myself go crazy and lock herself in her room? BLEH! I had that look... All I did was write... drink tea... write... drink tea... ah caffeine... their isnt anything we cant overcome together... It was a long 48 hours of paper writing! I just had two papers to write because I had already gotten 2 out of the way! WOOT WOOT JULES! My neighbor John and I would message each other during the process. We helped each other keep track of word counts and take the enjoyable tea breaks! I look like a crazy every time I came out of my room to see the world... Well Wednesday was the night! The night where everyone goes to ... read more

The Land of the Beatles! Who knew that an amazing group of men could all come from one place? Amber and I stayed up till 3 am and I am not too sure what we did. I think the night involved toast and jam with a movie! We woke up and jumped on the coach. Amber slept in my lap the whole way and I just day dreamed out the window. I have been thinking about my mom a lot lately. I have had this incredible urge to call her, but if you know me you know that is not possible. I would just love to tell her all the amazing people I have met, all the places I have seen, and I wish more than anything I could hear her travel stories. She was the ... read more

Wednesday morning I was lying all warm and comfy in my bed. All of the sudden the horrible sound of the phone made me get out of my warm cinnamon roll bed(little Simpson’s reference there for those of you who didn’t catch it). It was Amber and she was going to go to Birmingham to go to the Cadbury factory with some people from her marketing class. I was content on sleeping and then writing my paper, but Amber wouldn’t have it and made me get my ass out of bed! We did the usual of waiting for the bus in the cold! Let me tell you how tired I am of that someday! The whole reason I was going to the chocolate factory was to bathe in the chocolate river! Ah... We get on the ... read more
