So I've had my first (And second) meetings for Riva 09- and I really haven't learned that much.
Although there are a couple cool new things- dates, etc. that I know now.
I have to officially be in Riva by the 19th of August- which means I will definitely be able to be at Carrie and Jay's wedding!! (this is exciting, and great- because I really thought I might miss it for a little bit- all my professor would say was "the middle of august")
We are still figuring out all of the crazy trips we are taking during our stay- and all of the places we are visiting. The best part is we (the students) are putting this together! Of course we're going to hit all of the normal hot spots- but all of the architects and cities that we were looking up are being compiled into a Google map, and we're organizing them into trips etc. So basically- every other weekend I'll be out traveling Europe. (That's a lot of blog posts!)
Another thing we're trying to set up: Exchanges with other architecture programs. We are looking to set up either one or two exchanges with schools studying in Europe for the semester- they would come to the CESA casa, and we would go to wherever their home base is- we'd have a week or so with their professors and a different perspective. It's pretty exciting if it works out. So we've all been given a list of Schools to call- to do some digging, and figure out who's going where and if it's possible to switch. It's kind of weird though because we might not even meet these students- I'm assuming they'd just be in our space, while we would be in theirs. Maybe we can all meet up in a bar somewhere...
That's basically all of the news that I have up to now (not a lot), and the extent of my updates. I'll know more money matters on February 2nd when we have (presumably) our next meeting, which is with a financial aid advisor aka. loan advisor. (My parents are happy- my future bank accounts are not). I probably won't bore you with those updates- so until I find out more about the trip: Arrivederci!

I'm so excited about all the pictures/posts you're going to put up during you're trip. I am also excited how we're freaking gonna be in Europe together!!!!! I can't wait to figure everything out and it's all said and done. I'm sorta planning on booking it around the summer time because then I will be making more money so I can pay off the huge amt that I'm going to put on the credit card. YAY DEBT! And I can also save up for spending money, etc.
We should definitely plan where we're going to meet, etc. I think we were thinking Paris? Doesn't sound too shabby to meeee! :):) Otay. I'm sure I will comment on every other post so byeeee.
ps the security code for this post was "grackle." It made me laugh!
