Life in Sicily

So I missed the post on Tuesday, largely because I didn't have internet. Now I have internet, but no time. We're in the mountains of Sicily, so wifi is sparse. We left mainland Italy on Monday, after roadtripping down the west coast, and now we're touring Sicily on a week long class trip till Saturday, when we'll catch a ferry to Naples then drive back to Rome. There's been lots of photos, lots of stories, but for now I can share neither due to time and lack of wifi on my computer. I'll post as soon as I'm able, but for now you'll have to live with the suspense. Have a great week!

Another Week in the Books

So I'm back at the blog again. Let's say hypothetically I'll get two posts a week in. Monday nights are a fairly safe time to assume I'll be posting, and then maybe Thursday nights, depending on the shenanigans that go on. Come back every Tuesday and check in, if you're still trying to follow this and keep up with my adventures.

Last week was a bit of a rough week in terms of social stuff and some academic problems that arose. No sense crying over spilled milk, but I'm glad that we're on to new and better things. The gloves have finally come off for school work, and from now until the end of the semester I seem to have two major assignments (papers, reports, tests) a week. For only three classes, that seems to be a bunch. Thursday we went to a museum, Friday I hung out, Saturday we went to some churches, Sunday I spent all day writing essays, today was a school today, and that's what I've been up to. Now some pictures!

I am just a poor boy though my stories often told

Went lone wolf mode, wandered from the group, and found this gem off the beaten path
