MAAAAAY I?
Spring break is over. But it was the most fantabulous thing ever. I spent 2 1/2 weeks in Paris and Italy. I went to Paris by myself and ended up meeting a lot of cool people and had fun spending the days sleeping in and relaxing in public places. I didn't set foot inside a museum which was awesome, just wandered around and got to know the city and brush up a little on my language talents. My birthday day had the best weather and I just layed out on Montmarte and ate ice cream. It really was delightful. Then went to Rome where I spent a day wandering around then met up with my friends. Throughout the trip meeting up with people was the hardest because I was always at a different hostel. Its crazy how much we rely on cell phones for communication. I left mine in a bar in Paris the first night, but it turns out it wouldnt have mattered cause they didn't have working ones anyway. But, Rome was fine... just kinda like go, click, go, click, party click, go, party click. There the collusseum click, theres the pope, click, theres the sistene chapel, click. It was still fun though, I wish Sebastiano was there to show me around more locally, but oh well. Then we went to Florence which was my favorite. The river was beautiful, my hostel was beautiful, every thing was amazing. Such a quaint city. plus we met up with some friends who live there so we cooked in a partied out and saw some cool and beautiful things. Then Venice which was incredible in its own way. We had a lot of crazy things happen there though. The whole time the weather was beautiful everywehre we were/I was. In Venice then I met up with my boys and spent two more days there and then went back to Rome to see the stuff I missed and party some more. Oh and in Venice it was amazing we went to this island called Lido and spent time wandering around there drinking wine and cappuchinos and we had a realllly fancy dinner that was absolutely the best I have ever eaten! Honestly though, it sucks travelling with an alcoholic who has anger issues and only talks about himself the whole time. He almost ruined the trip. And I ate gelato at least 2x a day. soooo good.
Now I'm back in London and I just want to go home. Or to NY. I'm really over all the people here, its so small, there inevitably drama which I hate and am not used to. The people I hang out with I don't really like and are backstabbers and stupid. No one here has a spark or I haven't found any kindred spirits which is LAME. Except for the girls I hung out wiht on break. Meera, Savita and Helen are my saving grace. You know why? They like to party but they aren't that crazy so theres no trouble, just fun. They like boys, but none of the ones in the program and are not completely driven by interactions with them. No drama, just fun. We do fun things together like go to dim sum and play in parks and go sake bombing and have sleepovers where we tell scary stories and play MASH. M.A.S.H - I love it. When's the last time you played MASH? yep, 8th grade. They're wonderful.
This week I think I'll have to become completely anti-social to get my work done. Its hard, but and I say I can do it, but in reality. Oy. I don't want to do work. Well, I wouldn't mind if it wasn't undirected, pointless work.
I can't wait for california summer. I've almost forgotten what new york is like. I think it was silly to come abroad with all that is over in that city. I miss my program like WHOH. Sure, travelling while you're young is neat and everything, but I just turned 19. I still have/had plenty of youth to do that. I should have waited.
