Monday was our last real “chill day” in Urbino. Most of us who didn’t travel that final weekend just hung out around town and took it easy. That night, Professor Rahn took the group that stayed behind out to dinner. I had one of the best pizzas of my entire life. Tuesday was checkout day,…

This week was our last full week living in Urbino, so it definitely had a different feel to it. Monday we had our thesis teacher drawing day, which is when we randomly pick which professor will grade our thesis. After that little bit of chaos, the rest of the early week was super laid-back. Tuesday…

Monday–Wednesday: This week started off as another round of thesis days. I spent most of the time reviewing and organizing everything for my final submission. By Tuesday, I officially turned it in, which was a huge relief. The rest of the time was just double-checking and wrapping up any small details before the trip later…

Monday–Wednesday: Thesis Work The first half of the week was focused on thesis as usual. Thesis is finally almost wrapped up. Thursday: Day Trip to Assisi On Thursday, our class took a day trip to Assisi, a historic town known for its religious and cultural history. The city sits on the slopes of Monte Subasio…

Monday–Wednesday: Thesis Work The first half of the week was the same as always, just thesis days in Urbino. I made a lot of progress this week. I finished my schedule, which is the last big milestone of thesis. I’m finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thesis is due…

Thursday we took a trip to Rimini and started the day with a guided tour of the city. The guide walked us through the main parts of town and gave us a quick history lesson- Rimini actually dates back to Roman times when it was called Ariminum. We stopped by the river that runs through…

Monday: Rough start to the week. I was running on around 3 hours of sleep from traveling back from Morocco on Sunday, so getting up Monday morning was not fun. Spent basically the entire day on thesis work- started around 8 a.m. and went until midnight. Long, exhausting day, but I made some good progress.…

Friday morning me and 3 of the guys woke up at 4 am to ride hot air balloons at sunrise. It was a rough wake up but it was so worth it. We sat and waited until everyone showed up. They provided coffee, tea, and croissants for us while we were waiting. It was a…

We booked a camping trip to the Agafay desert for Wednesday night. It included ATV riding, Camel ride, dinner, and breakfast. It was the most fun we’ve had in a while. (I may of gotten in trouble for drifting my 4wheeler) Straight after the ride we hopped on camels. After our camel ride we went…

Tuesday we didn’t do anything other than hangout at the house all day. It was nice to have a free day and just relax. We had a super nice backyard with a pool, trampoline, ping pong table, soccer nets, and also had a pool table inside. It was only 30 Euros a day to have…
