Spring Break- Barcelona

This is a video of Barcelona from the top of the olympic park that was built in Barcelona for the 1992 Olympics.


This is a video from the famous Las Ramblas


In Barcelona we stayed with people that we met through couch surfers.  They were really great people and became good friends.  This is only three of them, but we met about 15 people in Barcelona.

Spring Break Time! Day one

So the trip began in an Island off the coast of Italy.  This island is Sardegna, or Sardenia for some.  And we were on the coast near the city Alghero. This day was all about the waves.  We spent the day walking up the coast line.

Day 50- My Midterms

So midterms begin. I have 5 midterms in the next 3 days, and then it is spring break time. I will reveal the midterms each day as they come up.

I am not yet going to reveal my destinations of travel.  I will reveal them one by one each day.  This will serve several purposes. I will reveal each purpose one at a time with one purpose revealed on each day. This will satisfy several different people, of whom I will reveal one each day.  Each day there will be a day and I will reveal that day one by one with one on each day.  Each day also has a quote of the day created by me, I will tell you all of the quotes at one time on one day... But at the same time I will only reveal a quote one at a time day by day.

Each revelation of each thing of each day will combine to create a treasure map. 4 treasure maps, one revealed each day.  No actually there are no treasure maps.

Todays Revelations: Joshua Genesis 3:51

Day- Monday
Midterms- Workplace Psychology: Building Effective Managers
Person Satisfied- Jackie Katz
Quote-

"There are two types of people in this world, those who let things happen, and those who make things happen."

First Destination Of Travel- Alghero, Italy- On the island of Sardegna

Day 47- Cancelled Trip To Amsterdam

Originally I had a trip planned for Amsterdam this weekend.  I cancelled it for an interview I had today. It's okay though, it was worth it.

I can't believe its already day 47, that's already half way.  But I have midterms and spring break coming up. I have a very watery and tropical spring break planned.  And a very watery midterm week planned.  If only.

Day 44- Celebrating Carnivale In Viareggio

This one was fun. It was also crazy. In Venice there are thousands of people, but mostly tourists.  In viareggio it is just all locals dressed up in costume having a great time.  It was really fun. And we slept on the beach. If you click the video you can watch a larger version.

Day 37- My Crazy Amount Work

I hate my classes. They are all so difficult. You wouldn't understand unless I was to give you a description of my average life consuming difficult week.

Monday- Drag my self out of bed as soon as the Italian rooster crows to make it to Italian class by 12:00pm.  Later that day I am forced to do ridiculously relaxing things like meditate in a meditation yoga class for 2 hours.  I was so relaxed I could have killed someone.

Tuesday- Another long day. By 6pm I am exhausted and just want to go to bed, but I have to go to class from 6-8:30pm.  To make things worse, I have to sit there for 2.5 hours drinking/tasting and learning about different wines. If that doesn't sound difficult, then I have to describe the wine and what I think about it.

Wednesday- I wake up early to practice my body language and communication techniques. I improve my posture, communication skills, voice control, well okay that sounds pretty good.

Thursday-Sunday- I am then forced to do whatever my heart wishes. ...My heart can be demanding.


Try walking a week in my shoes.  I hope you have small feet, Italian leather shoes while fashionable, can be very tight.
