The Application is in!

I finally passed in my application to study abroad!! Now all I need to do is wait for my reccommendations to be sent in and for the final decision to be made. This summer I will be working to save money for the spring and researching more about places to see in London.

Good news! I found out that the plane ticket is going to be cheaper then expected. Tickets run as low as $400 which is about $200 cheaper then I planned on spending!

Possibly the Best Ice Cream in the World

I am absolutely obsessed with ice cream and gelato is even better! From various people I have heard that the gelato in Italy is absolutely amazing, which would make sense since it's Italian ice cream. Hopefully when I am in Europe next spring I will have the chance to go to Italy, even if I only have time to get gelato! My cousin Alyssa is spending 4 months in France and recently went to Venice for a few days. She said it was an amazing place to be, traveling around the many canals that circulate through the city.


After looking at Alyssa's pictures from Italy a few places I would like to see in Venice are the grand canal, The palace of the Doges, and Basilica San Marco. I would also like to go to Burano, an island that is very colorful and beautiful.

Who doesn't love baklava?

Since my moms family is Greek I grew up eating different Greek foods, my favorite being the famous dessert baklava. If I do get a chance to go to Greece while in Europe I am definitely going to find some genuine baklava.

The Parthenon would definitely be the one place I would visit in Greece. It was built on the Acropolis of Athens thousands of years ago and is the most famous surviving building in Greece.
