Sorry... I've been busy although I know that's not an excuse Really I don't think I'm cut out for this whole blogging thing. I'll give it a go again.Although it's not an excuse it's the truth. I have been SOOO busy I really don't get more than 45 hours of sleep a night because I'm always out late doing something then up early for eit http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Malta/Malta/blog-349753.html Ahhh I'm having a great day at work My nerves are about 75 of the way gone now so I'm getting more comfortable. For the last 3.5 hours I've been trying to figure out Microsoft Publisher a program that lets you create things such as newsletters. It is 10x better then PowerPoint so I'm having a really good time with it. I've been updating a newsletter for the pensioners in Yvette's constituency http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-336566.html Apparently there is no way to respond to any of the messages that I get through this website. So I would like to write a collective thank you to all of my family members for their messages which I thoroughly enjoyed. They definitely made me feel a little less homesick. Yesterday was a very productive day for me. I haven't felt the need to rush out and see every famous site in London as quickl http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-336166.html Hey all. Again it's been a long time since my last entry but I have been so busy I hardly even have time to do all of the homework I have. Not only do I have two pretty intense classes at ISH I also have to do a paper and a photography project for the tour of Europe we went on a paper and a log for my independent study class and a huge paper and log for the political science department. All http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-333663.html Hey all. I'm on my lunch break at work right now. I'm allowed to go to whatever site I want to while at work so I decided to update my blog. It hasn't been a very exciting day but nevertheless I'm excited to just be here. I have some links to pictures for anyone who doesn't have Facebook and can't see my albums. Here are the links Skydiving httpwww.new.facebook.comalbum.phpaid2096446l http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-331461.html Sorry it has taken me so long to update my blog. As I'm sure you can imagine I've been very busy. Although I must admit at times when I could have been writing in my blog or reading a book I've been at the ISH bar and I'm pretty disappointed in myself. I'm not at all a social person and for the first time in a very long time I'm surrounded by people that I genuinely want to socialize with. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-331110.html Well things with Kenny didn't work out so well. He is really into me and wants me to be his girlfriend but I just don't think we have anything in common at all. He likes beer football and being lazy and hates reading and museums. Noooo thank you. We went on like a 10 hour date the other day and I really did have a good time... I'm just not interested in him. It's crazy that I've been single http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-328738.html I met a boy His name is Kenny and I met him at the ISH bar. It's kind of weird because the ISH bar is always full of people from lots and lots of different countries but I met a truly authentic British boy along with his friends. Tonight Kenny and I hung out at ISH and then went to a club in central London where we lost everyone else. He walked me home gave me a proper goodbye and not only http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-327700.html Ello I am having a great time in good old London I know this semester is going to fly by way too fast. I don't have much time to write so I'll just recap a few things.Not only is the British accent awesome but I love the things they say Pretty much everyone calls me love. You're welcome love No love yes love you're going the wrong way love would you like a newspaper love http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-327119.html I have finally made it to London after the most exhausting few weeks of the entire life. Looking back on the rush of our European tour I realize just how insane it really was. I went to six different countries dozens of cities sat on a Coach bus for approximately 48 hours and walked countless miles. I.am.tired. It's extremely hard to have 4 months worth of stuff crammed into a few bags attemp http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/London-City/blog-326082.html I am finally in Paris and could not be happier. It's officially my 9th visit to this amazing city and I must say the best part is actually knowing the language and customs. It also helps that I pretty much have a basic map of the city imprinted in my brain. I just can't describe how much this city means to me We went to a cafeteria type restaurant for dinner and it was horrible. The Internatio http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-324397.html Dad MomFor some reason the internet here won't recognize the UWSP website so I can't respond to your emails. Therefore I'm using this site because I know you read it. I am really excited for you guys to check out Skype I can't wait to seetalk to you How is Europe Dad It's so weird to know that we are on the same continent again but still so far away. Maybe we will bump into one another http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/France/Ile-de-France/Paris/blog-324393.html Yay my foot is a LOT better today There was a bit of swelling on the top of my foot this morning and I could feel the liquid moving around when I walked. Gross huh I just put on shoes and socks and hoped for the best. After I walked around for awhile my foot was pretty much completely healed. I'm glad I really didn't want to have to explore an Italian hospital. So today we had a relaxation http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Verona/blog-323175.html So I'm still in Italy enjoying the hot weather pizza and reading at cafes. And oh yeah my foot is twice as big as it's supposed to be. Okay maybe not twice as big but it is very swollen. Apparently I have some sort of infection from a blister that opened on the back of my heel. Most of the left side of my left foot is swollen red and hot to the touch. I let the leaders know on the bus on our http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Verona/blog-322870.html Hey all I can finally update because the internet is working for once. For some reason my computer would not connect before but it's all good now. Right now I'm in Verona Italy sitting on the huge staircase in front of our classy hotel drinking some wine with friends. I'm having a very good time. Verona is pretty cool. It's the city that Shakespeare based the play Romeo and Juliet on but tod http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Verona/blog-322494.html The sun has finally made an appearance In the morning it looked as if it would rain all day again but as soon as we started our walking tour the sun came out. Salzburg is absolutely amazing I definitely like it a lot better than Munich although Munich was a great city. Today we went on a tour of the city and saw all of the famous sites which pretty much comprised of places related to Mozart. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/blog-321341.html Today was definitely an emotional day. We left Munich in the morning and headed towards Saltzburg Austria and on the way we stopped at Dachau. Dachau was the first concentration camp set up by the Nazis and it was a model for all of the other concentration camps and it was also the last one to be liberated by the Allies. I really can't say much about it because I wouldn't be able to put into wo http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/Bavaria/Dachau/blog-320996.html What an amazing city It reminds me of other European cities but at the same time it's so distinct. I especially like the German culture I didn't think it would impress me so much. Out of all of the countries that I've been to Germany is the only one where they actually wear traditional clothing. I see all kinds of people wearing Lederhosen and whatever the female equivalent is. They're being http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/Bavaria/Munich/blog-320609.html After lots of waiting and preparing I am finally in Europe again We had a pretty crazy experience at the airport on Wednesday. The whole group was waiting to board when we saw an unmarked vehicle with lights flashing on the top. We didn't think much of it until a firetruck showed up. Then before we knew it there were four firetrucks an ambulance and many vehicles with lights surrounding our a http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/Bavaria/Munich/blog-320118.html
