Last night I spent at the Vatican, needless to say I was underwhelmed. I was hoping for some spritual enlightenment, a massive desire to worship jesus in all his glory. Instead I was just cold and cranky. We stood outside in St Peter Square and listened to the pope speak with thousands of other Romans….

My Day in Rome
Got in to the Yellow Hostel Last night and it truly feels like an authentic Hostel. Its bunk livingesque, where there is 8 people to a room with very little privacy. Though I must say it has been quite a nice stay. The staff has been really helpful in getting us situated. They showed us…
Back from the Alps part 2
Sorry to cut it short last night, our friend Melissa had to catch a plane back from the states, originally she thought it left at noon apparently it left at 9 am which was not condusive to our current schedule so we had to flee the internet cafe in order to catch the last train…
Coming Back From the Alps
I am sitting in an internet cafe in Florence right now so I apologize for any spelling errors that may and will most likely occur. So first off these entries will be incredibly out of order. I plan on blogging about the most recent events that happen if I get access to a computer if…
Last day in Milan
This must be kept short because I have approximately 6 minutes of internet time, so pardon me for any spelling errors. Milano is gorgeous, but I’m sure it will pale in comparison to the rest of Italy, based on my 5 hour train ride through the country side. We are hanging with our good friend…
Playing with little kids
Before I leave for my trip I really wanted to write about something non-trip related. So here goes. I had one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long while yesterday. After much hesitation I agreed to volunteer at this after school Christmas function for under privileged children. The hesitation wasn’t because I don’t…
meh
I’ve had such a mixed sense of emotions the last couple of days. It seems as if I have these constant feed of uber positive, but also extremely negative things happening all at once. My classes have been fun and interesting. I really enjoy drawing and Arabic lit is easy enough to be tolerated. Tissue…
Post Thanksgiving
It’s been a very long time since I’ve posted anything substantial, but honestly folks I have been so busy since Thanksgiving that I just haven’t had a chance. I have gone from do nothing active, to busier than anyone should be, and I love it. Instead of talking about my current activities I want to…
Leetness and Harry Potter
I love using my leet… I’m sorry 1337 hacking skills at work. Even though I am surrounded by all these extremely experienced software professionals, they all think I am this Linux Guru. Even though I love the attention I feel it is completely unjustified. When I see a Linux box, the first thing I do…
Another Short Entry
Guess who’s going to be in Italy in one month! That’s right, food, wine, girls, skiing, art, girls, and partying!!! How awesome is that
