I decided when buying my plane ticket for my study abroad to extend my stay in Europe. I figured if I was going to be paying to fly to Europe I might as well get the most out of my ticket. I could not imagine however, that the class I took would propel me into…

Just over three weeks ago I departed good ole GA and headed to Europe for the very first time. My trip began in Dublin, Ireland a day early but then it truly started once I arrived in Rome to meet up with Dr. Smalley, Dr. van Iersel, and the rest of the group. We immediately…
