Monday...Monday...

Hello family!! Well the countdown has begun...12 days until Christmas break! Yeah!! But of course I can't get excited until my papers are finished, but hopefully soon. For those who haven't heard...my Christmas travels are quite extensive. I'm flying to Venice, because it's only 20 euro round trip!! Then, take the train to Switzerland, and stay there for a night. From there I will go to Graz, Austria and spend Christmas with my friend Maria, who I met here in the residence. I'll leave Austria after about a week, and head to Amsterdam where I will meet up with Zack, a friend from home studying there, and three other friends from home. I'll also be meeting two friends from Malta there. After the New Year on the 3 of January I'll fly to Athens and stay with my friend Fotis, who is Greek but he goes to OU, and explore Greece for a week. After Greece I'll take the ferry to Bari, Italy...then work my way North: Rome, Bologna, and finally fly home from Venice on the 12....I'm so excited!!
