Outline of the Year!
So here is a brief outline of the year:
Sept 6 - Leave for Newark
Sept 7 - Leave for Berlin
Sept 8 - Arrive in Berlin
Sept 9 - 16 Opening Tour in Germany, Poland, Czech Republic (including Oktoberfest in Berlin!!! as well as a visit to Auschwitz)
Sept 17 - Arrive in Florence
Sept 18 - Start Classes
Dec 20 - Last day of Fall Semester Classes
Dec 22 - Jan 2 Christmas Tour (CHINA!!)
Jan 7 - Start Second Semester Classes
April 17 - End Second Semester Classes
Also, here is a list of the weekend trips offered by the school. They average around $200 a trip.
The other BIG NEWS is that we are going to CHINA for the Christmas Tour! :) Apparently we will be traveling to Beijing and Singapore. I absolutely cannot wait for that! They usually go to an Arab country, but it's too dangerous for Americans due to politics at the moment. So, given nothing big happens between us and China between now and December, I will be traveling to China for Christmas!!!! Ho ho ho!
It will be interesting to see how much Italian I have retained when I get to Italy in September. I was reviewing in my head the other day and I'm not sure how much I remember. Haha. Well, I have my Rick Steves booklet of useful phrases if worst comes to worst.
I have also decided I need to purchase a really cute, small(ish) travel journal to take everywhere with me. And, as reluctant as i am, I will probably invest in some Chacos or other rugged, ridiculously comfortable, not-my-style, sandals to walk around in. I'll look more European that way, and wont get blisters. Better get those soon so I can break 'em in! :)
That's all I've got for now! Arrivederci!
