So this week has been fun. We went on a bunch of trips this week. Monday we went and saw this movie about the partisan movement in Alba during WWII. It was interesting. Tuesday was spent studying and such. Wednesday we went to a nearby town called Mango where they shot the movie we saw Monday and talked to this lady who had German soldiers occupy her house during WWII. She was hilarious. She is older and was like "In case you were wondering I am 20"

Thursday was our test and presentation. Half of the test was easy the other was hard. Only one kid did good but I did second best so I am proud of myself. I think he is going to curve the grades. My presentation was fine other than the fact that they asked me ridiculous questions at the end of the presentation that I didn't know the answer to. The teacher told me he liked my topic though and I did a good job. I won't know my grade till may.

So recently ever since the newspaper we have been getting a bunch of publicity, Wednesday in Mango we got filmed during our tour of the town. Today, we went to Cremona for a press conference. It never ends. Now that I am famous the paparazzi won't leave me alone. It is quite daunting.

So I have worked out my personal travel week. Monday we go to France as a group. Wednesday night I have an overnight train to Paris. I am in Paris for one night. From Paris I go to a western German town for 2 nights called Cologne. There is a chocolate museum there. From there I go to Berlin for two nights. Then I go to Prague for a night. From there I visit Jacki in Freiburg for 3 night. Finally I go for one night in Zurich and Bern in Switzerland. It should be an amazing trip. Most other people are going to Spain. It is too expensive and I don't really want to go.

All is well I am just busy. I hope all is well with everyone. I am getting in the mode where I am ready to come home. So is everyone else. I am excited for this trip but I have a feeling it will be the tipper to make me want to come home. While traveling is amazing I miss security and being able to stay in one place.

I am off to dinner. I am staying in town this weekend to get some stuff done. I will have my computer on my trip and will in touch when I can. I will send an itinerary before I leave.

Love you and miss you guys
