Studying with Johnny Pizzas

Hey everyone. BAck at ten thirty the next morning studying for that Garden Design Midterm. Its alot more difficult then you would imagine, so stop laughing at me. School here is kinda a joke, but now that its mid terms week, we all are forced to remember that this study abroad program is actually not a four month vacation, but some sort of educational experience. Actually, i take that back. This is a type of school different then any other I have attended thus far. We dont just sit in the class room, but rather absorb the world around us, and become educated culturally. While I cannot say I have added some useless math equation to my general knowledge, I can say that I have learned to appreciate the things around me, as well as enjoy the beauty of Florence. In America, we tend to move too fast with our heads down and our minds solely on the final goal. I.E. Let me study really hard to get an A then forget everything i learned after one hard night of boozing. No. Here it is different. Here everything is slower, and here everything means something. In the smallest alleyway, art can be found, and the little corner shop might just have the best sandwich you've ever eaten. So take my word for it and slow down a little bit back home. You might just find something you never realized was there. And johnny pizzas says cia to everyone reading. He is my friend.

Hello

Hello Everyone. Due to school and work commitments, I have not been able to keep up with this blog as much as I might have hoped. However, that is all going to change. I will be traveling to Florence, Italy, and intend to chronicle my exploits overseas. Think of it as a Fear and Loathing type trip, minus the ether, adrenaline, and salt shaker. I intend to stay in a hostel, fly in Amsterdam, and drink so much wine that my pee pee tastes like grapes. Be sure to stay around and follow me as I bring American to Europe!!!
