My pants are tighter. Damn you Italy. After we finished our treasure hunt for our SOC class, Chan and I prepared for our food and wine pairing presentation, made dinner, then decided to drink red wine before we went out. Maybe it was the wine but needless to stay, Steven, Channing and I are paying…

Roma Recap Day 1: Friday We woke up at the crack of dawn: 4:45.  Chan and I did not go to bed til 1 AM since we watched the Lizzie McGuire movie…too excited. The bus ride was fine and did not seem like 4 hours… maybe it was because I had my main man by…

I have been ultimate strugs 11. Last night Chan our new friends Jessica and Sarah, Clam chowder aka Amanda chodor, and a few other people from CEA all went to do a pub crawl in Florence. It was the pub crawl we tried to crash with the people from UCSB. Luckily they didn’t recognize us……

I have complained about having two classes: food and wine, and the SOC class, wishing I only had to take one. Don’t get me wrong, both are so interesting especially the SOC class but it is a little hard to watch everyone leave after 2 hours and 15 minutes when we stay for 5 hours.…

Apparently some critics also known as Joseph Wells think my blog is too lengthy. “I read your blog for a second because it was all over facebook, but then stopped because it was too long.” So this will be a short gig. Today Chan and I tasted 3 types of wine in our food and…

Midterms are over with. You would think they wouldn’t be hard. But to our luck, they were. Here’s the latest update on Chan’s and my life: I don’t want to dwell on it, but Will and Kate. I was glued to LA times website as I watched them stroll through my neighborhood. The best part…

It’s happened. The heat has got the best of me. Stepping outside is an event. I am trying to be positive but I am really struggling. I go to school at the University of Arizona and am used to the heat. This heat is different. It reminds me of if you leave the hot water…

Sunday morning was a learning experience. Channing and I woke up at the crack of dawn also known as before 8 AM, and walked to the train station. We had hoped to get on a bus for 3 euro, to venture to “The Mall.” The mall is a designer fashion outlet 30 minutes outside of…

Note: This was from a few days ago… I have decided to be adventurous. Last night at the restaurant Za Za, Channing and I decided to order a platter of cheeses, meats, and the daring pâté. I was nervous about tasting the house pâté, but then decided to change my mentality to ‘i’m in Italy.…
