we had a halloween dance on saturday night. it was actually really fun because everyone got into it and dressed up. though ther isvno doubt that i ate the least amount of candy EVER on halloween since i have been able to chew, it was still not pretty fun. (and of course the reminder that our parents are coming on friday accompanied by some of this ( Read more... )

so we went on a weekend trip this weekend..actually sunday to monday. another incredible experience, but again too much to take in too little time. these trips are incredible, but we spend more time travelling on the bus then we do in the actual city. it can be very tiring. but it was also really wicked. we left lanciano at 6am and we went to ( Read more... )
