Past Weekend, and Upcoming Plans.

The Sunsets are gorgeous.
My Backyard consists of vineyards and Alps... :]
Hey Everyone,
This past weekend, we were supposed to go to Treviso, but it was rainy, and I skipped out and watched movies all day. Ministry week was very tiring, but so rewarding. To get the good things in life you have to work hard for them. Sunday we did go to Trieste to watch a Sail Boat Race.
One thing I learned about sail boat races... it's more like 'snail' boat races! You could barely tell they were moving. We had fun nonetheless!

This week we began our philosophy class! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! I have always been intrigued with this subject, and if I were better at math and science, I think it would be a wonderful degree to get! Thinking is such a beautiful thing; the men that we are learning about were so brilliant! Plato ALMOST had it too! I feel like I know these men of old personally now, as silly as that seems. I just love learning about the history of ideas and how it is shaping today's world.

It just began to get cold here, we don't turn the radiators on until November though. Which is kind of good, that gives me time to figure out where to put all of my things (I kind of use it as a bookshelf...)! It is much colder weather than this southern girl is used to, but it's growing on me. We have Thursday's class, and the Final Friday. Saturday I leave SUPER early to catch a train to the airport, where I fly to Germany for Fall Break! I am so excited! I get to see friends I haven't seen in years!

Well I really should get to sleep, it's pretty late, or early if you will, and I have a quiz tomorrow!

Ciao!

Welcome to October!

My goodness.
I never thought that I would be so busy, all of the time! I definetly t
hought I would be able to blog more! I really do apologize! I have yet to make a video blog, I know, but I will try and come up with something soon! I upload pictu
res to facebook, then get so frustrated with how slow that happens that I forget to blog and show you all! This past week has been 'ministry week' and we have not really been at the school, but mainly in Udine and other small cities. I haven't taken too many pictures l
ately simply because we have been so busy. Here are a few from when we went to Verona:
Once again, to see the whole picture, right click and open in a new window or tab! Sorry that they are so big!

I really love coke, and I really love the Italian cans! At this bar they even brought me ice!
























































































Ciao,
Chels.
