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!
