Sometimes all it takes is a hike to the top of a mountain and a sunset over the Umbrian countryside with a new friend to make you feel much better about life.

The Difference
When you visit a destination, you love it. Everything is perfect and shiny and new and wonderful. Everything is better than at home. The food is the best food you’ve ever had, the sights are the most beautiful places you’ve ever seen, the people are the most interesting people you’ve ever met. The difference is when you live in that destination which was once a fairy-tale...

Florence: Day 41
Let’s do highlights. we all got finger printed at the station today to become official Commune of Firenze residents. It went surprisingly smoothly. I’m starting to dislike my art history class a lot which is a big bummer basically because the professor who I should be in love with is really just a bit douche-y. some people are really, really nice  some people are really, really...

City States in Classical Antiquity and Medieval...
Every other paragraph there is a sentence in which the key words are in their original Roman Latin. “Agreements between clients and foremen for digging in the area of the civitas vetus sometimes included clauses specifying how aurum vel argentum eventually to be found would be shared.”  Putting latin in italics doesn’t mean I will suddenly be able to understand what the hell...

Florence: Day 29
So Rome…. Was a total bust. But I was lucky enough to go last weekend as well as this weekend, so I was able to see everything. The most snow to hit Rome in what the locals were saying was something like 29 years and let me tell you, they were NOT prepared for it. Everything shut down, including all public buildings, museums, transportation, most private businesses were closed due to all...

You know you're a world traveler when
you can honestly say you’ve been punched full force by a homeless man in a wheelchair while minding your own business in the Rome train station.

Haunting ancient Greek wisdom:
“But as soon as a new generation has succeeded and the democracy falls into the hands of the grandchildren of its founders, they have become by this time so accustomed to equality and freedom of speech that they cease to value them and seek to raise themselves above their fellow citizens, and it is noticeable that the people most liable to this temptation are the rich.” - Polybius,...

Florence: Day 15
We went to Pisa yesterday! The city is a pretty one, although admittedly there’s not much in it, besides the Piazza dei Miracoli. I was flabbergasted when I walked into the fresco room at the Camposanto to see The Triumph of Death, which was nearly destroyed by American bombers during WWII. Also, Nicola and Giovanni Pisano’s pulpits and the cathedral itself is one of the most...

in a nutshell: tell me if this is weird. →
shmalligator: I love riddles and brain teasers and things of that nature. So for a class right now we’re talking about general classroom management, classroom philosophy, and the idea of daily journal entries in classes came up. For english teaching, I plan on doing something like that, like reflections about… They can probably google pretty much everything now, so it might be hard to...

I hate when girls act stupid, it's not cute
helloleah: I remember in 7th or 8th grade when my mom asked if I didn’t answer questions in advanced math because I didn’t want boys to think I was smart. I was like, no mom, math is more important than boys. THIS. If a guy finds a girl attractive because she is stupid, RUN AWAY.

Florence: Day 7
It’s a beautiful sunny day today, but still really chilly. I bought a new winter scarf, one that is huge and comes up to my face, in the italian fashion. I also bought a birthday present for my best friend back home who is turning 21 in a few weeks, so on monday I’m going to attempt to figure out how to mail that home to her. I doubt it will make it in time, but maybe! A group of us...
