Sorry for the delay/Ryanair

Hey guys, I know I haven't blogged in a couple days, but I will be on top of it from now on, I promise. I have a lot to share and it will come. This weekend I may or may not be going to Rome, depending on whether or not we can book a suitable hostel. Anyway, I just booked my spring break trip to Barcelona through Ryanair. For those of you unfamiliar with the airline, it makes Southwest look like first class. For 25 euro I got a flight from Rome to Barcelona (Actually secondary airports, Rome's Ciampino airport and "Girona" an airport 60 kilometers from Barcelona). whatever, remember me lementing about being a poor college student and telling all of you about how I would continue with this theme, well here you go. Ryanair, in order to make a profit, charges 15 euro for checking bags and another 20 euro for insurance. Don't buy either of those. Get a carry on bag and stuff that thing until you can't anymore. Just keep it under 10 kg, or else you're checking thst thing. Just a little heads up for all you people. I don't expect much out of them, all I really want is for the plane to stay up in the air.

The King of Nightlife

Snooki would be proud of me. In fact, any of those Jersey Shore rejects would probably buy me a drink at this point. Since last Wednesday, I have gone out to a bar every single night, except last Sunday. In Florence, there is little that you can not to at night. Bars up the wazoo. This isn't Poughkeepsie, NY, where your selection is relatively limited, I want every potential study abroad client to know that there is little that is impossible here, Even if you are not a nightlife person, I guarantee there is bound to be something for you here in the Golden City.
