http://aurevoiramerica.blogspot.com/2010/11/thanksgiving-feast.html
Au Revoir, America! Travels took me to Paris this summer, and now fall in Florence. Thursday, November 25, 2010. That bundt cake thingy is about the size of my head. Truly a Thanksgiving feast. Ahead of me lies a night of internet T.V. and slowly eating my way to euphoria. Thank God for that. November 29, 2010 at 8:05 AM. You should buy it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Au Revoir, America!: Essay Time
http://aurevoiramerica.blogspot.com/2010/12/essay-time.html
Au Revoir, America! Travels took me to Paris this summer, and now fall in Florence. Wednesday, December 1, 2010. The following is a short essay I wrote in response to the prompt: "How have you integrated yourself into Italian society? Note the title. Pretty much sums up the extent of my integration. Sitting alone in the trattoria, I scrutinize the menu, seeking out whatever sounds the least foreign. I spot. Il girello arrosto con le patate. L girello arrosto con le patate. Sounds good. I think. A phrase ...

Au Revoir, America!: Sh** My Host Family Says

Au Revoir, America! Travels took me to Paris this summer, and now fall in Florence. Tuesday, November 9, 2010. Sh* My Host Family Says. I don't really feel like writing "Eurotrip Part 2," in which I was going to complain about all the rain we encountered in Verona. I know you'd love to hear me wax poetic on the sub-par weather patterns of northern Italy, so I apologize. Instead, here's a round-up of recent quotable quotes from the dinner table:.

Au Revoir, America!: Intellectualityism
http://aurevoiramerica.blogspot.com/2010/11/intellectualityism.html
Au Revoir, America! Travels took me to Paris this summer, and now fall in Florence. Thursday, November 18, 2010. Tonight I had to interview a young Italian writer for a new article about, well, young Italian writers. He was late though, but he made up for it with a great excuse: "I was at the bar and after two glasses of wine I briefly forgot about our appointment." And when he leaned in for that kiss-on-each-cheek thing (omg, Italians actually do that? So as we were chatting over espresso in the Guibbe ...

Au Revoir, America!: June 2010
http://aurevoiramerica.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Au Revoir, America! Travels took me to Paris this summer, and now fall in Florence. Saturday, June 26, 2010. You might not believe this since I'm currently typing from a McDonald's while currently listening to Michael Jackson, but I will miss this foreign city. A lot. Links to this post. Thursday, June 24, 2010. If there's one thing I've learned living in Paris alone, it's that sometimes you just gotta go with the flow. Can't read a word on the menu? Yeah, I got lost in this thing. Just go with the flow,...

Au Revoir, America!: October 2010
http://aurevoiramerica.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Au Revoir, America! Travels took me to Paris this summer, and now fall in Florence. Thursday, October 21, 2010. Can I just say that I cannot wait for November 1st, aka the day northern Italians are LEGALLY allowed to turn on their heaters? I am tired of wearing two pairs of socks to bed, tired of sleeping with my head under the covers, tired of stealing my roommate's hair dryer and blasting hot air over my toes (although, I admit, that feels reallly good). I am from Florida. I cannot take this. The resul...

The Far Side of the Sea: October 2010
http://jennyhallabroad.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
The Far Side of the Sea. I'm getting ready to head to Edinburgh in Scotland for the fall semester! Tuesday, October 19, 2010. Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot.". Finally, it arrived. I had booked a taxi to pick me up outside my Friday morning class, and went directly to the airport. I caught my flight, and I was off—a HUGE smile on my face. What the hell for? Completely uncomfortable. Being me, I blurt out:. Camila goes to Davidson...

The Far Side of the Sea: September 2010
http://jennyhallabroad.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
The Far Side of the Sea. I'm getting ready to head to Edinburgh in Scotland for the fall semester! Monday, September 20, 2010. A few notes on British English. A few things I've noticed the last few days:. 1 The British say "croissant" the French way, like they're actually speaking French. Which means I am terrified to say it, and they all laugh at me when I try. Hence, when trying to purchase a croissant I have taken to mumbling and pointing. Seriously cave-lady like. 9 Speaking of "literally" they LITER...
