Okay so this past week has been a little crazy between school and booking trips.
School has been nothing but challenging however in the end I believe it will all work out. I just need to use my time wisely, and not waste any free time on useless things. I am only taking 4 classes this semester however the one will prove to be the most challenging class I have EVER taken and I also have to write my thesis.
I think I have finally decided on a thesis topic. I plan to write about the motivations of volunteers in the non profit sector. I will be reaching out to the organizations I have worked with along with others to gather information on why people decided to volunteer and what makes them want to keep volunteering. If any of you are affiliated with a non profit organization and want to help with my thesis please let me know! I would love the help!
Okay on to more exciting things!
This weekend Claire and I are going to Brussels! We are excited to get there and see the city. Unfortunately the organization that we usually take tours with do not operate until the summer so we will not be able to take a tour with them.
We thought it would be fun to do blind booking for Easter weekend so yesterday we got together and booked it! We were really nervous because there were some places in the category we didn't want to go to but also didn't want to spend the extra money to exclude them so we just had to hope for the best. We ended up getting Prague which is super exciting because we both wanted to go there. I had promised Sarah I would go with her so that was a bit of a disappointment but I am planning another trip with her. (more about that in a few minutes) We will be gone from Saturday to Tuesday. I can not wait! I have hear such wonderful things about Prague.
I have mentioned in earlier posts that I have a week off in May and was hoping Bob would be able to come visit. Unfortunately it looks like that is not going to happen because the Sabres have been doing so well lately which is fine because a week isn't long enough to come and really enjoy Europe. I have a two week break in July so hopefully he will be able to come then.
Since I have a while week off I really wanted to make the most of it and take a break from what will be a very demanding school load. I have decided to go to Palma de Mallorca, Spain. It is an island off the coast of Spain and is supposed to be beautiful! This is the trip I am planning with Sarah. We have not booked our flights yet but hope to do so in the next few days. We will be staying with her friend that lives there. I am really looking forward to the beach! Our plan is go to there the 5th- 9th or 10th.
Once I am back I will be going to Budapest with Claire. We will be there the 10th until the 14th! Our flight isn't until the evening on the 10th so I could come back from Mallorca in the morning and then leave for Budapest in the afternoon/evening. (I know I am crazy) I am really looking forward to it. We will be staying with my friend Emily from high school. Emily is going to show us around the city too!
Those are all the trips I have planned for the rest of my stay. The only other place I would really like to go is Paris but we will have to see what my schedule and wallet look like after these amazing trips I have planned.
I hope everyone had a great weekend. I hear the weather in Buffalo has gone back to cold and rainy. It is still in the 60's here but is supposed to go down into the 50's for the weekend.
Until next time my friends! Keep in touch!
