This week in class we were given a set of questions based on our groups and asked to answer them and present them to the class. My groups questions related to work I was doing at my internship so I was able to pull information from my company and use that to help me further explain our answers. We also watched a film in class called “The Corporation.” The most interesting thing from this film was that it mainly focused on how bad corporations can be but the film was funded by some of the corporations being slandered which shows just how bad they want to make money that they will fund films slandering themselves because it appeals to the other side of the coin and now they’re pulling money from everyone.

My internship too me to Padua this week, it is a beautiful city and definitely mot one I would’ve been able to see if I didn’t go with them. My company does consulting and one of their services is assistance with planning philanthropy events with companies interest. We visited Padua to see the site of the event, company that hired mine, and the group they were brining along to help with an upcoming event in the middle of July. After the business stuff my boss took me on a walking tour of the city where I was able to see the town square and the Basilica of Saint Anthony, as well as other famous landmarks.

I did a lot of traveling this week. On Sunday I went to Lake Como where I was able to take a gondola ride to the top of the mountain and hike about a mile and a half up-hill to a lighthouse that overlooked the entire lake/valley. We arrived right at noon which is when all of the Church bells were ringing and they could all be heard at the top, it was one of the most magical things I’ve ever experienced, later that night Jimmy and I went to a pizza place recommended by his boss called Pizza e Mozzarella which was the best bite of pizza I have ever had. Next weekend I have plans to go to Florence and meet up with some friends from high school.
