The end of my first month has been a good month, but also a some odd things happened towards the end. The classes here are so different, they do not have as many assignments as classes at Rollins which is a good and bad thing. The number of assignments is so little it makes me…
Rome’in
Roma Our arrival in Rome was one I shall never forget. Although, cold, cloudy, and rainy, nothing could take away the excitement of being in such an amazing place.

¿Are We There Yet?
It still has not sunk in that I am leaving to go to Buenos Aires in fourteen days. A bittersweet part of this program is that we do not leave until the end of January, which is both awesome and weird at the same time. I loved that I could stay at Rollins for sorority…
