there's no place like home.
so its friday night and im at home alone on my friend's laptop.
you have no idea how happy i am to be able to be on the internet right now!
ill explain.
well before i get to that, i had a nice week. i met some really cool people from san diego who are travelling through europe and are here visiting their friend for a few days. sergio is also here visiting justine so we all went to the gardens and showed them around florence. fun stuff.
we also went to an obama party, which was also fun.
it was at this club and there were mainly older people there from ages like 30-50, but it made
dancing so much more fun because they dance so cute and they actually played dance-able stuff like prince and even a little beach boys. there was an italian guy that i danced with who couldn't even vote, but still had an obama t-shirt and pin! i taught him the YMCA. haha. we ran into our san diego friends again later that night and hung out for a while.
today we made really good nutella-banana-whipped cream pancakes then i did some homework.
every time i need to use the internet, i have to walk to the CAPA building, which isn't too far, but it's like not walking into the computer room in your house.
my mom sent me some pictures of my family and it made me miss everyone sooo much. my little cousin teo is growing soooo fast and isn't actually so little anymore.
i also had dreams last night about all my friends who moved to san francisco and i miss them a lot too.
today was just sort of gloomy. most of my roommates are gone travelling this weekend and justine has been hanging out with sergio, so its been a little lonely. my mom called me and i try so hard to be strong and have been pretty good about it this whole time but once i got off the phone i couldn't help but cry. i miss EVERYONE so much. my parents, my grandparents, all my aunts and uncles, my cousins, my friends, my cat, my house. i just miss everything.
i didnt know what to do with myself at 4 in the afternoon so i journaled and played guitar and felt better.
i try not to let myself get down but sometimes i guess i just have to let it out.
back to the reason why im so thankful to be on the internet on my roommates' laptop- i received lots of comments and messages from my friends and that made me feel a whole lot better. like my teacher was saying, now that this is coming to an end, we just have to hang on to the little things we have left from home to comfort us. tonight its internet at home, and the top ramen & chips and salsa my parents sent me. i don't know what i'm going to do all weekend...maybe will get some homework done and try to see some museums and gardens i haven't seen yet.
anyway to all my friends and family-i miss you and love you and hope to see you ALL when i get back.
i know the last few weeks are going to be so fun here and im so thankful to be here, but im also ready to come home! just a little longer...
