Mrs. Worldwide (5/18/18)

May 18, 18May 20, 18 Kayla Novak

Milan — New York — Pittsburgh Shockingly, the first portion of our flight to JFK airport wasn’t intolerable. My back survived, along with the rest of my body, which is a feat that I’m still in awe at. I was able… Read More

Fashion & Fully-Functioning Wifi (5/17/18)

May 17, 18May 20, 18 Kayla Novak

Milan, Italy Today was our last full day in Milan, and Italy! It started out rough because I got even sicker during the night and was beginning to accept the fact that I could die here. But after our visit… Read More

The Black Plague Returns (5/16/18)

May 16, 18May 20, 18 Kayla Novak

Milan, Italy Well, I’ve caught the Point Park plague. Our group is struggling—cold medicine is being passed from person-to-person, we’re all in need of constant restroom breaks, and because we’ve barely gotten sleep, we’re consuming an excess of coffee in… Read More

The Downside of Being Mixed (5/15/18)

May 15, 18May 20, 18 Kayla Novak

Milan, Italy Legitimately being in one of the fashion capitals of the world elicits so much excitement within my ever-failing body. However, I must say that I’ve been missing Pittsburgh immensely, and Asian food. The highlight of today was Kristina… Read More

A Watery Grave (5/14/18)

May 14, 18 Kayla Novak

Venice, Italy We arrived in Venice today, which was a city that I’ve been exited about, but also one that I’ve feared going to because of the tourist crowds. Apparently, it wasn’t as crowded as usual—I found that hard to… Read More

Class Trip to the Sauna (5-13-18)

May 13, 18May 13, 18 Kayla Novak

Florence, Italy Today was our free day, and we spent most of it sleeping. By the time we ventured outside, it was 1 p.m., and we were starving, so we headed to the nearest café. I didn’t plan on eating… Read More

Found My Sibling at the Duomo (5/12/18)

May 12, 18 Kayla Novak

Florence, Italy This morning, we headed into Florence via bus, and my back has officially tightened up to the point where I can’t stretch to alleviate the pain. I think our free day tomorrow and the fact that we can… Read More

Brothers, Run in Here Come Get Ya’lls Frescos (5/11/18)

May 11, 18May 12, 18 Kayla Novak

Assisi, Italy The city of Assisi is what I expected Rome to look like, with the cramped streets, orangey buildings, and enough pillars to hold up the whole of Italy. It’s a shame that we can only stay for one… Read More

Marlon Brando’s Spirit with Spirits (5/10/18)

May 10, 18May 12, 18 Kayla Novak

Rome, Italy I finally had fun. We visited Enel, which is an energy company based in Rome. At first, I wondered how this related to our majors as communications students. Then our host mentioned their T.V. & radio stations. Of… Read More

Peed Myself at La Repubblica (5/9/18)

May 09, 18May 11, 18 Kayla Novak

Rome, Italy I’m not a journalist, but I do love journalism. We visited La Repubblica today, which is a huge newspaper in Italy. Really, just the fact that I was there is mind-blowing. While I did enjoy their presentation. I… Read More
