Ohh shiny! A Blog!

Thank you for stumbling upon this new creation of mine. For those of you not familiar with me, some quick details and background to make this easier if you choose to read it.

My name is Alexa.
I am a 21 year old female from Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
I am studying abroad in France for the Spring 2011 semester.
I really love Harry Potter.


Ok, I think that covers everything relevant. Enjoy!

P.S. If you're wondering where the title of this blog comes from, it's from my favorite poem entitled "Aristotle" by Billy Collins. You can find it at the bottom of the page.

Talk about Multitasking

Buongiorno miei amici!


So as Facebook has probably told many of you, I have decided to take Photography and Italian this semester. I've already learned a ton in photography and (after replacing my camera because the first one took a very sad bath in the sea) have taken some pretty neat photographs! 


Italian is a little more difficult for me because the class is taught in French, not English. Not to mention that it'sElementary Italian II so everyone in the class is expected to have had at least a semester of Italian (most of them a year or more) and the professor speaks almost entirely in Italian. But like I said before, when it's not Italian, it's French. So it's really challenging for me but many of you know I absolutely love languages so I'm doing my best. In the words of Barney Stinson, challenge accepted!


I know I haven't updated in quite a while and I've been told off by many a person, so I'm going to do my best to update you all on the important events. Here's what you missed:

  1. Cannes! Part 1 and 2
  2. Alexa and Marissa find this really awesome fondue place
  3. Our first party with French people
  4. Shayna and Mike come to visit and much ridiculousness ensues
  5. Spring break=Booked!
  6. Grasse
  7. Mimosa Festival in Biot
  8. Carnivale=booked!
BUT CLIFFHANGER! I have to go take pictures for my photography class and learn some Italian so you will have to wait! Don't worry, it'll happen I promise. Pictures included!

Ciao!
Alexa
