well i went to roma and granada, both pretty good times. dont feel like explaining it, mi dispiace.

finals week sucks everywhere in the world (kind of comforting, no?)

all my classes ish for next semester is pretty much figured out meaning i can come back :o) lol

might be in trouble with my program here, we shall see.

im coming home on sunday and im wicked excited. maybe i should start packing. well im happy, but im sad/in disbeliefe. i cant imagine going back and maybe its because ive never really been to where im going back to. everything is different! its not freaking me out, though, which is definitlely a good thing.

i broke my camera, my most prized possession on wednesday! i cant take pictures of my last week here:( i was going to make a movie of my bike home from school because its so pretty in the fog with all the christmas lights... and i definitely wont be getting any christmas presents so... oh well, right? oh. well.


love and guacamole to all


see you soon

i'm learning so much here

Thursday, November 23, 2006

I AM SO SICK OF ITALIAN GUYS. i had a really bad experience on tuesday and i didnt want to mention it, but there, i have! last night was just another affirmation of my hatred for all men here. NO I DONT WANT TO GO TO A HOTEL WITH YOU AND HAVE SEX WITH YOU AND ...NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ugh. UGH.

i was just talking to my mom on the phone. so i was venting to her and it has carried over to this, although i was not venting about this subject because that would worry her. i was venting about how backwards italy is and how much i hate my program. i apolagize.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING. wish i was home for mexican food and pies. but i am actually just about to make a punkin pie with my friend lisa : ) gia ho comprato una zucca e ho messo nel forno ---- i just bought a pumpkin(butternut squash) and put it in the oven.

oh, but back to how much the guys here suck. they do. and because of this all the girls are really snobby bitches and none of the american guys can even TALK to them hahaha vicious cycle of putane e cazzi (bitches and...dicks, but it means more than dick, sometimes they use it like we say fuck, ya know? no? me either)

im in a bad mood. i need to go cheer up. italy's not really sooo bad. mmmmm good song just came on...


lets see something happy.... hmmm.... GOING TO ROME TOMORROW! OMG THERE WAS JUST LIKE A PIGEON STAMPEDE!

oooh gotta go to il centro and meet lisa
ciao

well lets see. since i last wrote....
i went to the soccer game and it was so much fun. the italian fans are NUTS. they have drums and fires in the stands! and cannons too! we kept hearing a cannon over from the roma fans

then lets seee..... SCOTLAND
amazing weekend in scotland. just what i needed. ok, getting to and from scotland was kind of a hastle (i have now slept in some kind of station in europe 3 times) but so worth it. bridget and i just hung out like we usually do and it was funny to remind myself that we were in scotland and not boston because i felt so at home with her:o)

im a cheeseball

im going to rome this weekend with kyle and rita and then spain the next weekend to see my COUSIN and then the weekend after that florence for a day or 2.... then...home!

now that it is less than a month till i come home the days are moving SO SLOWLY. i am really looking forward to going home but i know it will be weird to not be here anymore. but, italy is kind of backwards so im sure i'll deal.



mmmm dunkin donuts...what? we were talking about bagels in italian today because our teacher doesnt know what they are.

its been cold and rainy in ferrara

thanksgiving is tomorrow. i miss that feeling that comes with it but it will be there next year:)

blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

tonight was fun actually, but you know when someone is just in a really bad mood and you cant make them feel better, its a bummer but i had fun nonetheless<--not a word? i mean a real word? ehh who knows anymore. my english is getting worse.

tomorrow is the milano-roma partita di calcio im excited.

things are sitting heavy on my shoulders right now and i am very stressed and feel a weee bit helpless and alone (wow that sounds bad lol). i just wish everything could fix itself.

there are things i will miss about italy. thats a good thing. ma pronto andare.
