La Dolce Vita: A Blog While Abroad. Thursday, August 22, 2013. I woke up this morning at four o'clock after getting only a few hours of sleep. My adrenaline and excitement hid my exhaustion, because I was about to catch a 6:00am flight to Chicago. After 15 minutes of getting myself ready I hopped in the car with Dad and headed to the airport. He dropped me off and I was on my own. I took the elevator from the 18th floor to the main level. When I got outside I took a breath of fresh air. The last ...That ...

Fern•weh, noun, orig. German : a crave for travel; homesickness for a place you've never been. Tuesday, October 22, 2013. Also, hoi zämme. Hey there, my friends. It's been awhile. I'm hoping it's okay with you guys that I'm going to be an extremely. Irregular blogger. I remember in past years following the blogs of the other exchange students and seeing that many of them, after a month or two, either barely posted or gave up completely. "I'm just so busy! I got a wonderful care package from my family, in...

I don't know how many people were a part of it, but t...

Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014: August 2013

Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014. Saturday, August 31, 2013. I may finally agree that school rocks. It’s quite an experience. Fortunately, I have not had any negative experiences because of this. One thing I have noticed, though, is that everyone from Nagano High School recognizes me and says “hello” in English. It’s very cool! I feel so welcomed to the school. On Friday, I went to the Nagano Wind Orchestra’s rehearsal. It was incredible! It's really hard work, though. While...

Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014. Wednesday, February 19, 2014. An Update in Picture Form. It's been quite a while since you've been updated. It's been just over a month and that sounds like a good time to catch up! In the beginning and middle of January I had to say goodbye to some exchange friends who started their year abroad last spring. The first ones to go were two friends from Germany. Of course, Peanut (the hat) had to be worn before going home. I had the opportunity...

La Dolce Vita: A Blog While Abroad. Monday, December 2, 2013. Three Months In / One Month Later. It's been about a month since my last post and a lot has been going on in my life here in Tivoli. The next two days we went to Jerusalem and toured the city at a sprinting pace with the sweetest guide ever. He showed the most amazing locations with the best views and even more amazing history. Our tour guide, who I would rather call a friend made the trip even more special for my mom and I, and it wou...Altho...

Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014. Monday, May 26, 2014. It's been awhile and a lot has happened. We'll see if everything fits. The traditional Japanese inn that I lived in for two months had a hot spring. This was one of them with a great view of the river. My host dad is a flower arranging teacher. I got to sit in on one of his classes! Everyone put their money together and they rented out a dome for a couple hours. It must be a fantastic product. Evening on the ocean.
