The Last Time. I Promise.

After a year of searching for a good solution to the media limit, I’ve decided to move websites. Wix doesn’t have a media storage limit, so I’ll be able to post lots of pictures again.  This is the new blog. It has a few new fun features, but I’m not sure how it will work for…

New Year, New Blog

Because of the space issues on this blog, this domain will be changing. It won’t be a problem for you to access new posts, but to access this one again, the web address is going to change. Nothing complicated, I promise…I hope. If all goes well, the new domain will be previouslyswitzerlandetc.wordpress.com. At the moment…

Media Issue

For those of you wondering why I’m not including as many photos as I usually do, it’s because WordPress has added a media limit which was non-existent when I began. I have nearly hit that limit, and I’m using this blog for an assignment for my travel class. There will be a few photos for…

A Quick Look at Lugano

It’s been rainy here since we got back from travel–except Saturday; it was beautiful, sunny, and warm on Saturday. Taking advantage of the first day of nice weather in weeks, I took my books to the park and read. It was relaxing. I was reading school books, but it wasn’t work. I was simply enjoying…

Happy Birthday Liz!

I will tell you all about it later. We threw her a surprise party. Once again, the photos aren’t with me. They’re in Switzerland. I’m in Italy.

♫ Food, Glorious Food…

This is what happens when I have a kitchen. I never got a picture of the crêpes because, frankly, they were eaten as quickly as they were made. Judging by this, you can imagine how they were.  One night, they were dessert crêpes, the other night, dinner crêpes (and the rest of the batter became dessert ones!) This…

What a Day!

It may not seem like a lot happened today, but boy am I exhausted. We had classes in the morning (mine, lasting until 14:15). We had our class picture (the real one-with more than 20 people) We watched the faculty (including RA’s) vs. student futbol match. We went to the grotto for dinner with a…

Bellinzona

Today we split up into different excursion groups and headed away from campus. My group went to Bellinzona. We took the train, and it took around 20 minutes. As is normal in Switzerland, the trains arrived exactly on time. We saw a few castles-though, I heard from someone that they were all one castle, just…
