Ciao Wib! I am currently studying abroad in Milan,
Italy, and loving it! Midterms are quickly approaching and I cannot believe my
time here is almost half way over! It has finally stopped raining in Milan
allowing me to explore the city without an umbrella, and I am taking full
advantage! Last night I went to the
Navigli, a canal lined with restaurants and bars, and went to a karoke bar.
Hearing Italian men sing “Barbie Girl” in Italian accents sure was an
experience!
I am also taking advantage of the diverse course
selection. One of my classes is called Managing Fashion and Luxury Brands, for
our field study we went to the flagship store of Armani and into La Rinascente,
a glamorous department store! My favorite class is Transcultural Psychology; we
study the difficulties in treating patients who are culturally diverse from the
psychotherapist. It is one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken!
On the weekends I have managed to do a lot of
travelling. My personal favorite was Istanbul! It was a beautiful city with so
much energy. We shopped in the spice bazaar and the grand bazaar, both of which
require strong bargaining skills! Another favorite was skiing in the alps at La
Thuile. The view from the top of the mountain was above the cloud line and it
looked as though someone had pulled down a backdrop!
I hope all is well in Bloomington! I miss you all!
Ciao Ciao Ragazze!
