I love study abroad!! #notreallife

This post builds off of or could be a continuation of last week's IHEC Blog post entitled "Is the word ‘study’ really necessary in study abroad?".  That post generated a few comments on the post itself and on Facebook as well as a few e-mail messages to me.  Since that post I came across another Twitter post that lead me to want to continue the discussion.

Following are some more tweets by another student "studying" abroad (based off Twitter profile a young, white, female who is studying fashion in Milan):


"Boring class with a teacher I can't understand. Best combo"


"I love study abroad!! #notreallife"


"Slept thru my 1st day of fashion class at 4 pm this will be a good semester"


"Blacked out the first night in Milan and rode the struggle bus thru a 5 hour Italian class and totally acceptable!!" (I'm assuming this has to do with consuming a tad bit of vino or related substance)


Do I think this student is learning and getting something out of her experience?  Yes, a little probably.  


Do I think she is "studying"?  No.  


Your thoughts?
