Well Happy Sunday everyone!
So what’s new with Shelley since Friday morning?
Well. Friday, finally woke Nikki up and went to the market for one last time so Nikki could get her strawberry muffin she loved so much. Then we went and got our bus tickets for Siena. We still had an hour or so to kill so we went and downloaded the new SVU to watch Friday night when we got back!
Then we took off on the bus ride to Siena. It was so weird going back because it was over a month ago that I had last been there. I wasn’t the tour guide when we went before so I kept forgetting all the places we went before when it came to the good shopping spots. We walked around for a bit and then sat and people watched in Piazza for a little bit. Then we walked around some more, checking out the bakeries and shops! Nikki picked up a few cute things to bring home like a travel journal she was going to write in on the 10 hour flight back to the states! Then we decided to head back to Florence and it was quite chilly so we ran home and got our jackets before going to dinner.
I wanted to take Nikki to go try my beloved kebabs but she doesn’t like lettuce on things sadly, so that kind of cuts out the point! Haha So instead we went to my favorite sandwich place and got pizza. OMG the pizza was delicious! It was legit pepperoni! We loved it!!
Then we came back and Nikki packed up since we were leaving so early in the morning for the airport. Then we watched the new most screwed up SVU I have ever seen in my life. Nikki and I thought we would have nightmares!! Haha
Then the morning quickly came and we took the 7 am bus to the airport. I was like in a sad mode trans! We got to the airport and Nikki checked in and then we waited by security for a bit. It was SO weird. I literally was standing there like I am supposed to go home with you right? 8 am came and she went through security. I didn’t for the life of me want to say goodbye but of course had to and cried. Then I proceeded to try and hold back the tears and walk back to the bus stop. I turned on all my sad songs on my iPod and cried on the bus and on the walk back to my LONELY as heck apartment. None of my friends that got back Friday were awake so I got home and quickly went back to bed. It was so quiet sadly. Then I finally woke up and ate lunch and showered having some kind of intention to do something with my life.
FAIL. I had absolutely no motivation. I sat in bed looked through my iPhoto and went through photos from home and then MASTERED my budget. I swear I could be an accounting major now………..just kidding. But, ughh I was so homesick. My mom texted me and was like skype? And I was like awesome let’s hold back the tears; SO I tried my best. Then my cat came on the screen and my dad and I was like COOOOOL this is helping! NOT! Haha. But I needed that skype session to help me feel better! Already a planned thing either my beloved Cheesecake Factory that Sunday I come home or I told my Dad it could be Chinese Buffet cause I need some good Chinese food back in my life. I already told everyone, I am eating like a fat kid loves cake when I get home and devouring so much protein and cookie dough….. it will be amazing.
Then my friend Sam called me and asked what I was doing that night and I was like nothing!!!!!! And she was like well you want to come to apertivos with us and I was like HELL YES I need to get out of my apartment!! Haha. So then before I left, I FINALLY got to skype with my favoritest roommate KASIE freeking SEIGLER FINALLY! Thankfully our stupid internets worked enough! I wanted to cry but I was so happy to see her!! She then of course was going to Qdoba, not just Qdoba- MY Qdoba with Krob and Lynn. Thanks for always talking about it facebook guys, makes me miss it that much more! Haha. I told Kasie she had to tell them I missssss them so much if you recognize anyone! haha
Then I went and met up with Sam! I was SO happy to see her and we quickly caught up on each other’s spring breaks! Sam went to Dublin and Barcelona so of course I wanted to hear all about that! 4 days my friends!! Then we walked to meet up with Ainsley and Amy to go to Apertivos. (What is Apertivos? I know.. haha. It is where you go to certain restaurants and you buy maybe a 7 or 8 euro drink and then you get buffet style food.) I had never been before, so I was excited! However, all of the places we checked out were too crowded so we decided to go back to Il Gato where Nikki and I had gone on Monday. I wanted to get the tortellini again, but on Monday I wanted to get the Cannelloni, but they were out of it, so that’s what I got this time. It was really good but not AT ALL like American Cannelloni. I was kind of sad. Not nearly as cheesy, but it was still good but VERY hot and def. burned my tongue. Haha. SO we all caught up on everyone’s awesome spring breaks and OMG it felt so good to be around them again after my moping 2 year old filled day. HAHA.
Then none of us really felt like going out anymore, so we tried to go out for the nutella crepes Nikki and I had the other day too, BUT the place was CLOSED. I wanted to cry, I was so excited on our walk there. So then we decided to go back to Sam’s and we were going to watch The Italian Job. However, we found this cute little gelato place on the way and stopped and got crepes there. Mine wasn’t nearly as good as the one Nikki and I had. So I am def. going to have to go back soon to redeem the amazingness of Nutella Crepes. Then we went to Sam’s, but we couldn’t get the movie to work so we all just sat around and chatted.
Then reminding ourselves, Daylight Savings Time for us was this morning. So yes kiddos, we are back on that stupid 7 hour instead of 6 hour time change sadly. I hate it.
So I got home, changed my clocks and went to bed. This morning I woke up with every intention of going back to bed soon enough but ended up skyping Krob! Loved it and def. needed that skype session too!!
After that, I did all my laundry since I had so much and then went back to bed, woke up ate some lunch and caught up with facebook. My friend Valerie told me there is a Nutelleria in Bologna that I am going to check into. OMG I am so in love with that stuff now, I crave it. I am buying a crepe machine when I get home and will make so many DELICOUS nutella crepes.
Then I decided I needed to do something with my life and like last Friday before Nik got here, I OCDingly cleaned our apartment. Let’s just hope it stays that way. It’s amazing how dusty things get here and how much we have to sweep. Then I went out and picked up a few things and now I am writing this.
SO what else is new?
Well, yes everyone as of the 24th I have been here for 2 months already and I have 49 days left since many people have asked when I come home (May 14). I don’t have my flight after Madrid set up yet, but hopefully I will have an idea soon. Still very early!!
Yes, I miss America like I said before but I am not ready to come home yet. I still have so much to do and so much to see!! I’m paying probs over 20,000 for this, so I am making this worth it!!!!! Haha
Dublin is in 4 days almost and like 5 days till I get to see Tricia!! I cannot wait! Sicily is in less than 2 weeks! Canoli for breakfast, lunch, and dinner here I come. Sam and I are so ready!
I have many small souvenirs bought now since Nikki and I went shopping but I have many more to get in Dublin and then many in Sicily for myself. I am so excited!!
Tomorrow-- classes start back up and I get my midterm grades! BAHHHH WISH ME LUCK AND PRAY FOR ME!! Hopefully I did well!!
Thursday is going to be one heck of a day trying to get to Dublin because Milan is a long train ride, then I have to take another train to the airport, and then the plane to Dublin. But it is going to be so worth it! I just wish the Murphy Clan was all here to go with me and Katie Hogan could return to Dublin to go with me too!
Also, once again asking the do I have a boyfriend yet question? Nope. Men here are so not legit. They are so disgusting and so rude/degrading.
On a positive note, my knee is getting a little better knock on wood, may not need to go to the doctor after all!! And Nikki brought me a few things I told my mom to pick up for me like Vitamins!!!!!! Gum!!!!!! AMERICAN Chapstick!!!!! And earplugs. Haha! Now I feel better!
I heard it’s supposed to snow in MO today so hope you all are enjoying that! Summer will be here soon enough and somehow everyone’s favorite Shelley will be home soon enough too!! Haha I know you all just cannot wait………..or at least I hope : ) !! Cause I cannot wait to give everyone the biggest hugs of their lives! Summer of being 21 and not seeing anyone besides Nikki and Tricia all semester, I will surely make this summer be the best summer ever!!
Love and miss! Stay warm! Stupid landlords turned off our heat here so it better stay warm here!!
