travels

I'm going to Milan tonight!!! I am so excited, not so much for the night train but maybe I will see Posh and Becks? I am thinking yes. Anyway, lots of roommate bonding time for this girls weekend, and I will set foot in Switzerland as well although not in the mountains like I had been hoping.

Classes are moving along and I am happy to say they don't seem to drag on. We watched the Inauguration on campus here (as JCU is an American university) and it was amazing. Still trying to figure out how to get to the JCU WiFi which definitely blows Medag's Internet out of the water. The IT people take lunch from 11:30 to 3:30 and keep other really odd hours so we are kind of on our own. The school is surprisingly inefficient with almost everything, and classes continue to get cancelled at random. I love the 4 day school week though, and for the most part I'm interested in what I am learning, so it looks like I made some good choices.

I miss American TV a lot though, and we don't have access to shows online like I figured we would. Apparently American TV is for Americans only... I guess that didn't really occur to me. I'm also sad to be missing GameDay on campus this weekend....I know it will be amazing! Something I won't have to miss for much longer is Miss Katie Peralta herself ... Valentine's Day weekend! And Kathleen over spring break! Life is good.

We just found a flight to Sicily for 10€, and I am happy about this for several reasons. First, everyone in the computer lab we are in just went to the website and is calling their friends to book this flight while it is so cheap, all 30 people in here, and second, I just got to use the Euro sign for the first time with an international keyboard.
