Another early wake-up after a night at Collone... NO FUN! We met at the Cadorna station with the entire Operations Management class to take a field trip to Campari and the Italian outlets. About an hour trip, we arrived at Campari, where no pictures were allowed to be taken and once again, we had to suit up in plastic gear. This time, however, our cute hair nets had a little conductors flap on the front...so fashionable! After watching a presentation on the compa...

Ew ew ew ew ew we have a test today. I can never really study for a test the day of, and I felt overly prepared, so I took off to the park for a quick run. Obviously, I got lost but had fun wandering the streets of Milan. I found the cutest store/gelato shop called Bianco Latte, selling adorable knick knacks complete with a white, lit up, transparent greenhouse. Alyssa and I got to the test very early to grab the table in the back of the room. We knew we would no...

Well, when every student is out at Old Fashion until 6:00 am and expected to be in class at 9:00 am, the results are never good.

Today, the Donno's were nice enough to take us to another group lunch.. Yay! This time, we ventured to a place called the Charleston right by the Duomo. Oh what a meal! Alyssa and I split two meals, the Bruschetta and the Pappardelle pasta. The bruschetta was good, although a bit heavy on the olive oil. The Pappardelle was long, lasagna-like noodles in a creamy tomato sauce.. Amazing! We also split a dish of strawberries, which were probably the best I had ever h...

Going to bed at 3:00 am does not seem like such a good idea when you are waking up at 8 am for class. As I am leaving, I encounter Karina just walking in.. Hmm still wondering about that one! Class was the usual. I enjoy our mid-class coffee break and interruptions regarding our upcoming trip to Florence from Luca who is the best IES worker in the world! I had read about a supposedly delicious crepe place in a travel book, and realized it was only an eight minut...
