Finals season is in full swing so shenanigans have significantly decreased. I, fortunately, don’t have my final until 27 June so I was able to afford a few moments to enjoy myself this week....

Week 18: Most exciting morning so far??
Last week got off to an interesting start.
Weeks 16 + 17: Various updates
This was my first free weekend in a long time and it’s been absolutely lovely. Almost every weekend of this study abroad program I have traveled somewhere—even if only a day-trip—and it has been totally exhausting.
Spring Break Part II: Roma
A summary of my Rome trip in numbers: 72 hours, 80,000 steps...and one 6,000+ word blog post.
Week 15: I finally go on a hike!
It has been seven days since we’ve returned from spring break and tensions between the physics students are at an all-time high. With 40 internship students moving out this weekend as their study abroad ends, unwanted bits and bobs are being redistributed and left for scavenging. A repository has been set up in one of our study rooms where the departing students can leave various undesired articles such as toiletries, towels, non-perishable food, and clothing. Once in the study room, it’s fair game for those of us who are here for another two months....
Saturday 25.03.17 // Wine Tasting + Football
At long last, only 12 days later, I have finally finished my overdue weekend blog post! (New resolution: get these posts out faster.) Two Saturdays ago, a group of us in the BU program went wine tasting at a local vineyard and Dan and I attended a football game (known as soccer to you Americans). Read on, if you’ve maintained interest even after two weeks!
Mid-Week Update: Week 10.5
Dan and I are about to fly off to enjoy a weekend stargazing on Tenerife in the Canary Islands! With all our planning for that trip, as well as a problem set due for physics yesterday, I still haven't been able to finish my post about the wine-tasting excursion and football game from Saturday. But I promise, it's coming soon! I certainly plan on blogging about our trip to Tenerife, but for now, here is a short post to update you on the goings-on of my week so far.
a Double Stuf update: Weeks 6 + 7
The past couple weeks have been busy. We officially started our UniGe classes last week and they have been keeping us occupied; because of this, I didn’t get around to posting a weekly update last week. To compensate, in today’s post I summarize my last two weeks in Geneva, which includes a day trip to Zürich and meeting lots of Swiss students!
Week 3 (but more like 2.5)
In this week’s brief post, we have only two days of real class, we find a place to patinage sur glace, and I make a brief aside to explore Switzerland’s paprika fascination. Oh, and Dan and I went to Paris! But you’ll have to wait a couple days to hear that story….
Week 2: In which I discover peanut butter cheetos and visit a chocolate factory
Today, on “Maddie’s Adventures in Switzerland”: a tram accident, lots of French food, and a day trip to a Swiss town whose mountains are straight from a wanderlust Pinterest board.
