The card I received from Colin:

Oh boy am I loved.

Dear Santa...

I would like to make a strong case for getting me an iTouch. Here's just a small sample of all the advantages an iTouch would give me:

-Being able to play Solitaire during Cultural History class with the rest of my iTouch owning friends

- Being able to read books without having to carry the extra weight in my backpack

- Getting wi-fi access without fear of something blowing up (aka my constantly overheated laptop)

- Being able to see what song you're listening to (not so much on the Shuffle)

But most importantly...

The ability to play songs out of order without having to skip through your entire playlist! It would help immensely during finals/paper time. Here's a sample of what would be playing..

What got me through my International Finance term project...

Slow Dancing in a Burning Room by John Mayer - total play count: 65

Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie - total play count: 11

Fidelity by Regina Spektor - total play count: 20

I want you back cover by KT Tunstall - total play count: 41

What got me through my Environmental Econ term project...

Whatcha Say by Jason Derulo ft. Imogen Heap - total play count: 88

Izzo/In the End by Jay-Z/Linkin Park- total play count: 38

Love,

Yisha

P.S. I even help you out by circumventing CPang's pesky questions of "Why does Santa use the same wrapping paper as us?". My answer: duh, clearly Santa has a supply contract with Superstore where we get our paper.

I'm alive and done Eurotripping

Now I know I've neglected this blog for the entire month of November, so I'm going to do a couple of posts now as a "reward" for finishing the work for my environmental econ course here.

So I'm back in Praha until I leave and done my travels. I'm very satisfied with myself as during my semester I've been able to hit:

- Dublin

- Berlin

- Trnava & Bratislava, Slovakia

- Vienna

- Leiden & Amsterdam, The Netherlands

- Brugge & Brussels, Belgium

- Krakow & Auschwitz/Birkenau, Poland

- Rome

- Brno, Kutna Hora, Plzen, Bohemian/Moravian countryside all within the Czech Republic

I have not gotten enough of this continent and here's the map of the Eurotrip I'd ideally like to do summer after graduation. Any takers? Give me a holla.

So my tech skills kind of really blow. In order here are the cities on the map: Edinburgh, London, Paris, Barcelona, Marseilles, Nice, Bologna, Rome, Sicily, Venice, Athens, Istanbul.
