Did I Forget to Mention? Oops...

Yea, so you might have noticed that you did not hear from me in a few weeks. The reason, which I have somehow neglected to bring up, is Semester 2 Academic Travel! This brings to a close the first half of the 2nd semester (wow, its going super fast!...score!), capping off midterm exams and late nights of studying. Now...where am I going? Well, that is a WHOLE other story in itself...

As you may recall from last semester, I sent out the poll asking for your opinion, and the winner was the "Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia - former Yugoslavia" travel. However, as you may notice, Serbia these days is sort of...unstable. There is this whole issue with the region (now country) of Kosovo, and threats of violence. Therefore, with only a week or so before the trip to go, our itinerary had to be overhauled a little bit, seeing that we were to spend a good 3 days in its capital city, Belgrade. But, nonetheless, the trip was eventful in itself, even without our safety being questioned.

And, once again, I did write a day-by-day journal along the road (oh yea, this was allll done by bus!), which I can share with you all. Also, in true Schober fashion, I took a good lot of pictures and posted them online. I will get you the links as well.

Lastly, I will get all deep on you and share my feelings from visiting this recently devastated, Eastern European environment. (I know, I need to get my "Disney Channel" thoughts in everywhere...)

I do have to get running now, but keep checking back for updates!

Oh, and Happy Friday!!!
