I miss baking soda!
Heath:
Tomorrow is my birthday! I'll be 21... which means... basically nothing since I'm in Italy and the drinking age is like 10 here (I'm serious- they all drink wine when they're kiddies). I miss home and man do I want a birthday cake. I haven't eaten a real cake in so long. The cakes here are like mousse because they don't have baking soda or powder or something. I can't wait, only a week and two days and I'll be home!
This afternoon I'm getting a haircut! Ahh! My Italian teacher told me how to say angles but really it's just saying "a few layers only in the front," so who knows how it will be. I want to get it shorter than I've ever gotten it, but not too short. I'm just sick of the mess it gets in when I'm scuba diving or in the waves. I did my Italian presentation yesterday, on scuba diving. It was way fun, and now I can't wait to go to St. John.
The top five things I can't wait to get back for (excluding people):
5. The ability to sleep! I want a real pillow, not some lame thin excuse for one, and a lack of suitemates staying up until 2 in the morning. Mmmm, I can't wait to not be tired for once!
4. The beach! It's been SOOOO incredibly hot here and I didn't bring any shorts or pedal pushers or whatever those things are called and yesterday all I wanted to do was lay on the beach and jump in the waves.
3. Reliable public transportation! I am so sick of waiting 20 minutes at a bus stop and being late for class because the stupid venticinque is late again. I want a nice subway, or at home, a car, so I can go where I want when I want.
2. Good ol' American food. BBQs, bloomin' onions, grease grease grease, milkshakes, chicken fingers, honey-mustard sauce, turkey dinners, pancakes, cakes, pepperoni pizza (pepperoni means peppers in italian isnt that weird?), burnt hot dogs, corn on the cob, friendly's ice cream sundeas, diners, mozzerella sticks, twice baked potatoes, home-made food not made by me, 1-course dinners where they bring you all your food at once, american coffee, coffee WITH dessert (not after), ohhh the list goes on!
1. My piano and my voice. I can't believe I haven't played piano in so long. There hasn't been a time in my life since i was like 7 that I haven't played the piano at least 3 times a week (except on vacations but that's only like one week at a time). I only played the piano once here, in like the second week of school. Man do I miss it SOO much. And I haven't practiced voice much either, I really hope I didn't completely undo all I worked for last semester. But there is just nowhere to practice here. The walls are paper thin. :( I can't wait to get back to music!
