It's been a pretty quiet few weeks around here. We just keep trudging along, trying to make sure all of our homework doesn't sneak up on us. This weekend was a little rough on me just because I didn't have much to do and it seemed like everyone else did. Jill's boyfriend was in town and so she spent the whole weekend with him. Paige and some of the ( Read more... )

This weekend we went on our school excursion to Rome and it was amazing. Luckily my cyst drained on Tuesday night and I got in to see the doctor on Wednesday, so I was all patched up and sitting like a normal person again by the time we left on Friday. The bus ride was kind of uncomfortable on the way there, but I did okay. I haven’t ever really ( Read more... )

Just an important bit of good news...my cyst finally drained. Praise the Lord! That might be kinda gross to some of you, but let's just say that I'm finally feeling like myself again. I can do my own dishes, walk normally, sleep through the night and I don't have to take ibuprofen every four hours. I'm still sitting a little sore because it's still ( Read more... )

So just a quick little update because there is nothing much to report on. My roommate has a friend visiting that is kind of irritating the rest of us. This is the estranged roommate that the other three of us have a hard time believing some of the things that come out of her mouth. She just seems kind of helpless sometimes, but I think she’s ( Read more... )

Most important recent news is that my roommate and I were informed of the closest thing to a Mexican restaurant in Italy. It was actually an Argentinian restaurant, but it was soo delicious after craving everything that is Tex-Mex in recent weeks. I had a chicken burrito, and it was so fulfilling. I have a feeling that she and I will be frequenting ( Read more... )

We went on an excursion to Milan and Parma this weekend with the school; it was already paid for and I wanted to see both of those things anyway, so we went. We had to meet the rest of the group at 6 in the morning; it was early. One of my roommates went out the night before and didn’t come home until 4. She’s the youngest of the bunch, and we ( Read more... )

I was telling Katie today that I have been away from home for 18 days as of tonight, and I still haven’t quite figured out that I’m not going home any time soon. I mean, logically I can look at a calendar and say “I have 95 days left until I go home” but that number means nothing unless my unconscious processes it or something. Today in class I was ( Read more... )

So I haven't been quite as diligent recently about posting here because I haven't had as much to say, and homework has started to begin ( Read more... )

So this morning, I woke up early on a day I didn't have to to try AGAIN to go exchange my traveler's checks. SUCCESS!! I found the office after marking all over my map where it was supposed to be and getting the building number and everything. I was so excited, not just because I found it but also because that money has been driving me crazy. Not ( Read more... )

Ugh. It’s been an utmost unsuccessful day to say the least. I woke up early this morning so that I could be productive and get things crossed off my to-do list, which is of course my favorite feeling in the entire world. I was going to exchange my traveler’s checks, buy some leotards and tights for my ballet class, and then actually go to my ( Read more... )
