Days Are Flying By!

At this point, I'm just a little more than a week away from graduation and life couldn't be going by any faster.  And I have much to update on.

1)  After talking with my good friend Brad Stephens, Brad was able to include a stop in Paris the weekend after July 4th on his way to India for a work related trip.  Tom and I are talking about how we can make the logistics work for him, Brad, and myself but I'm sure we'll be able to work out something that will work for all of us.

2)  Finally did some planning on how I'm getting from Dublin to London.  Turns out, Ryanair has like 20 euro flights throughout the day, so I'm waiting on a response from Tom which airport I should come in to (there are three domestic airports within London's city limits).

3)  Just heard the good news that my Mom and Dad are going to be able to fly into Vienna for my friend Oliver's wedding.  Couldn't be happier, this will be the first time my dad has been to Europe and my Mom's first time since her trip to Paris at the age of 18 (I don't think we want to know what year that was).

4)  After Oliver's wedding, my Mom and I will be traveling to Italy to explore Venice, Rome, and Florence as a graduation present.  We're still working through the details, but with the help of a travel agent, things are starting to work out.

5)  Starting to do more research on what kind of items I need, gota get a backpack/day pack and cloths and what not.  Maybe during finals week and can start getting a better idea of what I have and what I need.

Until next time,

Jay

Euro Rail Tickets Purchased!

After having a few beers with some Civil Engineering buddies and our new favorite professor: Professor Sizemore who is the teacher of our Construction Law course.  Thanks for the beers/food Sizemore, looking forward to telling you about my trip come states bound this fall.

Today marks the day where I officially bought my eurorail pass.  I spent $600 on a 10 day train pass that can be split over 2 months.  I decided not to buy the ticket insurance as the policy still required me to buy new tickets and would only reimburse me with unused tickets, hope that doesn’t come back and bite me in the butt.

Also exciting news, after weeks of talking with my parents, my mom has confirmed that she will be flying into Vienna for Oliver’s wedding while my dad is still on the fence.  But to top that, my mom and I will be traveling to Italy for 10days to visit Venice, Rome, and Florence.

I’m very tired, but I’m still following track to get a 4.0 for my last quarter of college and reach my 3.60 / Cum Laude goal.  Getting excited for Sigma Sigma carnival setup and Sigma Sigma initiation only a few days away.
