• Rachel, The Book is Upside-Down |
I spliced together the most hilarious moments from our passover dinner. I'm about 99 percent sure it's the funniest video ever. Really I'm more like 87 percent sure, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway.

• Passover! |
My friend Justin is Jewish, so we hosted a Sader (I don't know how to spell that) dinner for the first night of Passover. Rachel's struggling hardcore with filming. My roommate Nicole and our friends Jeremy and Sean came too. Jeremy is British, so clearly, he's a lot cooler than all of us.
Justin came to my house for Easter dinner... we are so cultured. |

• I'm in Italy, no big deal. |
For spring break, I flew to Milano to stay with an Italian family. Fabulous. I randomly started Italian my sophomore year to fulfill the language requirement, and now I wish I was Italian.
Also, Rachel and I tore up our oral exam. We are amazing.

• Our Italian Soap Opera at the International House |
Obviamente, our Italiano is perfect. Also, if you haven't noticed, that is my favorite hoodie. However, I'm going to stop wearing it when I film, because it's in about 83% of my clips, and people will probably start to talk.
Also, today I declared my Italiano minor. I am awesome.

• The Full Monty |
The tour guides (I'm a tour guide) went to see The Full Monty on Friday at the Dutch Apple Dinner Theater. Words can't describe... So, instead, I have Mike, accompanied by Sarah and Jen, singing an ode to F&M. Don't listen to me in the background, listen to Mike, because it's hilarious. Mike and Trevor dressed ridiculous on purpose.
Also, Billy is trying to show me up with his full monty clip (filmed on my camera, I might add), but obviously, mine is superior in every way. |

• I Know This Is Ridiculous |
I miss Ireland. I miss Abby and Kathleen (and Mel!). So, while I was working at math tutoring (obviously we weren't too busy) I spliced myself into one of their photos. Click on it to make it bigger. Also, if anyone wants to roadtrip 12 hours to Vanderbilt... tell me.

• More Rachel |
Honestly, I didn't do much worth noting this week... so, for your enjoyment, here's a clip of Rachel studying in the library. I did watch Prison Break with Carli though, and I thought I had all this footage of us before it. But, I accidentally had the camera on when I thought it was off and off when I meant it to be on... if that makes any sense. So, instead I have us like preparing to turn it on, and it's really stupid, so I don't think I'll put it up.

• The Return of Rachel |

And I'm back in the States and at F&M. This is kind of an awkward clip... Shortly after filming, Rachel had a panic attack about our Italian test and had to be restrained... I'm just kidding... or maybe I'm not. My room isn't as ugly as this portrays it. There are now pictures of Italia taped to the wall behind us. Justin will make his vlog debut soon, and no doubt his appearance will launch him to international superstardom. |

• Carli, the Irish Dancer |
I forgot I had this tape of NUIG's Dance Society Show... I'm going to put up more clips, but this is clearly the best. My Irish roommate Kara taught Carli and basically half the girls who came on the Butler program how to Irish dance. Yes, I'm jealous of Carli's skills. She's also wearing my skirt.

• Hogwarts |
While I was in my Italian Singer-Songwriters final, Abby and Kathleen went to the quadrangle (en route to Murphy's, our favorite old man's pub). I could've edited out the parts where they struggled with the camera, but I think it's just that funny.
Ireland, I'll love you forever.
July 21, 2007... Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'm pre-ordering mine tomorrow.

• The Ruins of Lancaster and Ivyquill |
That's right.. every single day from November 1st to December 15th, it rained in Galway. It's still the greatest place in the entire world.
Abby and Kathleen, you're my favorite of all the Vandys. |

• Privet Drive or Galway? |
You can't deny it looks like Harry Potter. This is more of our last day in Ireland... I met Kathleen and Abby in the King's Head directly after my last final.

• Last Day in Ireland |
I'm trying to put all my Ireland clips up right now. My computer ran
out of memory (awesome, I know) in Ireland, so I am updating it at the
admissions office now that I'm back in the States. This makes me miss
Ireland... a lot. The last day was so much fun.

• That's right... We are in Italy |
Parlo un po Italiano? Carli and I went to Italy for my birthday (Nov
24th, send me cards and gifts next year) and met up with Emily and
Casey from F&M. Ever since this trip, Italy is all I think about...
every day... all the time.
I cut out a boring part in the middle where we debated on camera for 5 minutes about whether or not it was okay if Casey and Em spent the night and wore the same clothes to class the next day... we all agreed it was totally worth it.

• I do not sound like this |
Lesley's imitation of my accent is so good you might think she's American...
By the way, if anyone is wondering who I missed while I was in Ireland, I missed Mike Tynan Arnold. |

• Thanksgiving with the Irish |

Our two 14lb. turkeys cost 100 Euro. I found a worm in my broccoli and used it anyway (My mom is forcing me to add that I washed the broccoli first). No one knows that... until now I guess. Our Irish flatmates and my Italian friend had never had a Thanksgiving dinner before though, so it was worth it. |

• Cork Weekend |
This is actually a photo album. My parents bought me a digital camera when they visited, so I took it to Cork. Unfortunately, the camera stopped working less than a month after I got it, and it'll take about 4 weeks to be fixed... *sigh*. Just click on this photo to see the rest. Also, I'm kinda interested in who actually looks at my vlog, considering my mom and Kojo were the two people who commented on the last one.. haha. So, leave me comments, or I'll probably have to start faking them to make myself feel cooler...

• Italiano e Irlanda |

Carli and I are trying to read a novel in Italian for our fiction class. Needless to say, it's a struggle. I know this clip is really long (6 minutes), but I think we're hilarious, so you should watch it. I wish I was better at editing.. I can only piece things together right now. Professoressa Lerner, you are our hero.
I'm trying to sort out why the sound doesn't work at the end... it'll be fixed soon!

• Aran Islands |
This is a little old, but I want to catch up to where I am now. A few other Americans and I went to the Aran Islands one Saturday, and it was gorgeous. The sound is actually not messed up towards the end. It's just the 500mph winds. For background information on this clip, Liz is dating an Irish boy, classes are in the Irish equivalent of the drop-add period, and Shaun is Caitlin’s friend from Wake Forest who is studying abroad in Dublin. After watching this video, I’ve decided that I’m removing “incredible” from my vocabulary, and I’m never laughing on camera again.

• Galway at Last |
This is a dinner party at my apartment in Gort na Coiribe, Galway. Life just gets better and better. This picture is of Kathleen, and I love her. She's from Texas and is part of the Vandy (Vanderbilt) crew. Abby's filming again, because she is fabulous.

• King John's Castle and Dave's History Lecture |
Dave loves the camera, and he apparently learned a ton in the museum. If you are in Limerick, go to King John's Castle. Pay the 6 euro to get in, and make sure you bring your student id for the discount, because the ticket woman will h***le you otherwise. Skip the first museum movie, and head straight to the back theater for the second movie. I'm surprised the main character in this film didn't win an oscar for her performance.

• First Night in Limerick (after Bunratty) |
I let one of the Americans from Gonzaga (in Washington State) film us out in Limerick on our first night, and I actually love the result. I just pieced together all the random clips. Thanks, Alex for filming! Abrakebabra serves some sort of spinning meat... or so an Irish guy told me. Delicious. Also, the random beeping noise is the pedestrian crosswalk. They have them all over Ireland, and when they beep super speed it means you can cross without getting hit, hopefully. There's no way I could ever drive in Ireland; I can barely walk across the Round-a-bouts without dying. Also, notice Carli's dad. He is awesome.

• Limerick, IRELAND! |

I'm going to be in Ireland all semester studying abroad! Our program orientation was in Limerick, and we're at the Bunratty Castle. It was pretty touristy, but the food was amazing, and we had a fabulous time. I'm obsessed with Irish dancing. For desert, they served cakes and had baked rings into a few pieces. Apparently, if you get a piece with a ring in it, you will be married by Christmas. I didn't get a ring. I saw a married woman with one, and I think it would've been appropriate if she had given it to someone eligible.

Rachel and I are on the train to Villanova to see Dashboard Confessional for the first time.. enough said. Right before this clip we were straightening our hair on the train, and the guys behind us thought we were smoking. (Yes, Amtrak has outlets at each seat!)

In a study room in the library with my friend Wendy. Clearly, I'm not getting much done. I'm talking about a concert Wendy and I went to in Philadelphia. We went to see Butch Walker, and a band called Damone opened for him. Butch Walker is amazing. Go to www.butchwalker.com to check out his music, and let me know what you think.

• Rock Climbing |
Working on a project at the Climbnasium, an indoor rock climbing gym in Mechanicsburg. ("Project" is climbing lingo for a route you're attempting to scale. Also, to "send a project" means you have successfully completed it.) Micah is spotting me, and you'll also see him send the project I'm working on with ease. It's harder than it looks. My friend Lauren from my hall is filming. Wait for my final attempt; it's the best.

Hi
... as you see, one of my roommates, Jamie, and I are walking around
Lancaster. We stop at an art gallery on the way to our favorite Italian
Cafe, La Dolce Vita. That's "The Sweet Life" for those who aren't
familiar with Italian.
