Ciao Readers! Greetings from beautiful, sunny Firenze! (That's Florence for the non-Italy savvy). With two hours of class a day, we've had tons of time for sight-seeing and getting aclaimated to Florentine culture and life, taking oodles of photos, eating lots of good food and gelato. (PS: It is REALLY hard to go even a few hours without gelato!) As our time in Florence draws to a close, we thought we'd share some photos with you of our experiences thus far. Now that we've become one with this city, can find things without getting lost and have become "regulars" at our favorite restaurants, we'd like to share some of it with you!

His annual Biscuit Speech, delivered at freshmen orientation, was about how college freshmen are young and stupid, but by listening to folks like him, they could fix it together.

This semester has been a stressful one. Long hours and late nights have consumed my life, but I wouldn't trade the experience I gained. I've thought a lot about what I would write in my last column. My intention was always to address my last column as Editor in Chief to everyone I love, because I couldn't have survived this semester without them.

A week ago today, my friend Ryan died. I had never lost a friend before. I wasn't sure what to say or think. I felt disoriented for days. I had to go to class, work and fulfill other duties, but it was like my ears were ringing from an M-80 that exploded too close to my head.
