Sorry it has been so long since I last blogged! I sometimes get carried away over here in Europe! And tomorrow it will be 1 MONTH until we fly back to America! YIKES!

So a few things have happened since I last blogged...two weekends ago a bunch of us went to a Geneva Ice Hockey game here! It was a blast! They were playing Zurich and we won! Geneva is now actually in the playoffs too! ALLEZ SERVETTE!

Last week was a pretty calm week; we had our French final exam so we are officially done with French. Now we just have our internships and then our Comparative Public Policy course with Prof. Rimmerman, which we will meet on Tuesday nights from 8-9:30pm after our internships. Tuesday's are going to be very long days, but it frees up Friday's totally so that we have a three-day weekend.

This weekend was another chill weekend. A couple students from HWS are actually visiting us here in Geneva because it is their spring break! It is nice to see some familiar faces from back at school!

This week looks like it will be fine as well. Like I said, we will have class on Tuesday night and then our Professor here is having dinner with us in small groups so that we can talk with him about our internships and stuff, so I will be going out to dinner on Wednesday for that. And then this upcoming weekend is our Easter Break so we have Friday-Monday off. Most people are traveling but I am just going to stay here in Geneva and try to start and finish our 15-20 page paper for our Comparative Public Policy course that is due May 1st; I want to get it done before I get back to the States.

Anyway, I am finishing up some work and then making some dinner! I promise I will blog soon! Byeee!

Not that I am counting or anything, but I already have less than 50 days left here in Europe! I feel like I haven’t experienced enough! YIKES!

My mind-term break in Venice was AWESOME! First we met my aunt and uncle in Ortisei, Italy, which is in Northern Italy only like 50 km from Austria, so they actually speak both German and Italian there. Ortisei was sooo beautiful! It is a ski resort so there are a lot of tourists and what not, but I did not ski. Then we took at bus to Venice, which was about 3 hours. The whole time we were in Venice it was foggy, but it was still amazing! I had plenty of pasta and gelato!

Well the first week of my internship at The International Federation of University Women (IFUW) was successful! The first week was slow as expected, but I am looking forward to the next 7 weeks of interning at the office! Next week I will be attending the Human Rights Council at the United Nations here in Geneva, Switzerland, which I am definitely looking forward to!

This weekend has been exciting already too. One of the other girls on the program has a friend here for the weekend so last night we went out and had some delicious fondue. Today is was a gross and rainy morning here in Geneva, but then turned out to be gorgeous so all today we walked around Geneva and showed her the sights and what not.

Alrighty, well I will keep you posted about any new happenings from across the pond! Hope all is well back in the States! Byeee!
