Athena Blogs

Hey everyone,

This will be my last and final blog submission because I'm packing up and flying out on friday!!

I can tell all of you reading this that studying abroad has been the best decision of my life and I had a great time traveling and studying here in Florence!! The city is amazing, the people are great, traveling is awesome and you get to see some really beautiful places and sites. If any of you are still on the fence about it, just do it!! You will never get an oportunity like this again to actually live in a foreign country for 3 1/2 months and be able to really imerse yourself in their culture.

Hey Everyone,

This past week has finaly been very relaxing and the weather has been amazing! It's starting to get really warm and sunny outside all the time and it makes you not want to do any work and just walk around.

I spent all day friday hiking at Cinque Terra which was awesome and a really good work out. Take my advice and hike the five towns starting with the last one because often times most people only hike the first three and they weren't much to see. The last two are the harder ones but they are also the most beautiful and well worth it.

Hey Everyone,

There isn't much news to tell since last week. The only thing that I did this weekend was go on a school trip to Milan for a design show.

It was a really long bus ride there and we spent way too long at the fair place, but the exhibitions were neat. The first one we went to had designs of a lot of interior furniture by younger artists and college students.

Hey guys,

Hope all is well in the U.S. This past weekend me and three other girls went to Barcelona, Spain from Wednesday night to Saturday night. We had to fly out from Pisa airport and to the Girona airport and from there took a bus into Barcelona.

vWe had a great time, saw the Picasso Museum, a ton of Gaudi's buildings which are really cool especially knowing that he designed them in 1910 because they are out of this world.

Hey guys,

Well I'm glad to know that some people are enjoying my blog. Sometimes it feels like I'm talking to space but it was great to hear from some people. haha

Anyways, I thought that maybe I should advise some people about how to get ready for the big trip.
