hmm
so i got this letter that i wrote to myself in assisi today. the dean made us write down our goals & aims of the semester. it's kind of ridiculous... this is what i wrote (and my progress):
* be more social w/out alcohol
- yes & no. i tend to meet the most people when i'm out, but that's because i don't spend a lot of time at my school (because i hate it). i've found that i have a lot more to talk about than i thought i did.
*more time for self
- i haven't had nearly enough time for myself here, mostly because i haven't had nearly enough time here at all. it's hard to balance traveling, school, friends, etc and "me time" was kind of last on the list.
*no naps when not needed
- stupid goal, but i haven't taken many this semester at all (a big improvement from freshman year)
*improve italian
- i've improved it a good amount.. i can't speak it very well, but i can read, write, and comprehend it a lot better than i could a semester ago
*journaling
- i quit sometime in feb. mostly because i haven't had enough time to do it day-to-day.
*make a plan for the summer
- switzerland, baby!
*improve relations w/charlie even though it's long distance
- and we all know that one went to shit
and then they had us write down ways that we could be "awed" (weird)
* art appreciation
- thank you, art in rome. haha. no, but i really have seen a lot of awesome stuff this semester & i'd definitely say that i've been "awed" many times.
*czech (underlined twice)
- i don't really know what this means. i did go to the czech and i was awed. so i guess that counts.
*anything that will recreate the same feelings that i had last night, going into rome for the first time
- every time i go into the city, i am blown away.
*speaking italian as fluently as possible
- it amazes me when i can have a conversation w/an italian and understand everything that's being said.
so, the semester is coming to a close.. it's so sad! it's been a good few months. they went by SO FAST. but, there are still a few days left here... and they're going to be glorious!
