Hello everyone.
So Happy Wednesday. Happy Spring Break for me J & Happy Weekend for me too J!
Well, MIDTERMS IN ITALY ARE OVER! FINALLY!
This week has not been the best week considering every day I have gotten some kind of bad news from home and plus that issue with my knee has become a problem.
Monday morning I had my Special Events exam. Not too sure how it went of course. Then I went to the library to read some of the Hospitality Accounting book because that midterm would be the next day…… yes I went to the library and yes I read. What is my life coming to? Haha! Then I had my review in Italian, of course I was scared for the exam. Then I went and worked off some stress in my workout and went and took my Customer Relations exam. That one again, not too sure how it went. They do a lot of short answer and essays here.. I miss my multiple choice at MSU. Haha!
Then I went over to my friend Valerie’s apartment to study for our Baking exam. Yes everyone I had a midterm in Baking…………crazy I know. BUT, to make my day of bad news better—Valerie has been here for over a year so she has this phone hookup to her computer that she can call the states unlimited for 20$ a year. LEGIT? I think so too. Well, I was asking her what the little thing that was hooked up to her computer was and she told me and was like do you want to call anyone…….and I was like OMGGGGGG my papa!! SO I called my papa, I was literally in tears. Words cannot describe how great it was when I got to hear his voice and talk to him. He was quite surprised by my phone call of course. Plus, I get to skype him now on Saturday at the family birthday party for him because he’s turning 91 J! I cannot freeking wait! Then we studied a bit, really not knowing what to study. Then before I left, she was like do you want to call anyone else, I felt bad asking to call anyone else but I wanted to call my other grandma and papa and she was like you can if you want!! And I was like BAHHHHH of course I will. Once again, she was very surprised to hear my voice and I was so happy to hear and talk to her!! I miss my grandparents so much. I will ball my eyes out when I see them again, GUARANTEED. Then I raced home, I felt like a 5 year old in Disney World. I was literally on top of the world in happiness after getting to talk to them! It has been far too long! So of course I had to tell Alexa all about it, text a whole bunch of people, and of course change the facebook status! HAHA! SO that definitely made my day, week, and year getting to call them J!
Then I tried to study for financial accounting and baking again. Emphasize try because how do I study for accounting and baking.
Then Tuesday morning, I woke up and studied some more for hospitality accounting again. Then I went to take the midterm. Seriously. I don’t even want to discuss that midterm. Too many words to describe it to everyone.
Then I went to the market real fast to calm myself and pick me up some of my beloved dried kiwi, melon, and fresh ravioli along with other things.
Then I went to workout real quick before going back to school to meet up with everyone to study for baking. I looked at everyone and was like geez I hope my days of watching food network pays off. HAHA! But we ended up having an hour and a half of class before using the last hour to take the exam.
Well, in class I looked like the stupid American. Monday night I checked my syllabus and it said we were making biscotti. Come to find out in class, I asked when we were making biscotti since we were making cookies and Chef looked at me like we are. HAHA! Then Valerie informed me Italian biscotti is like American cookies. Crostini is actually American style biscotti. I was so disappointed cause I was all excited for biscotti. L However the “biscotti” we were making was very good. Valerie and I made these chocolate type cookies with chopped hazelnuts in them. OMG the cocoa powder here is like nothing I have ever seen before. We also made 2 types of short dough; one was whipped with lemon zest and another plain type. Everything was so good. We put strawberry jam inside the whipped short dough. Check out the photos on facebook!
Then we had the test. We tried to get out of it but it didn’t work. Never have I ever had exams like these I had this week!!!!
Then I went back to my apartment to catch up with everything and looked over Italian.
Then this morning I woke up and started studying for Italian again and went and took the test. It went okay I guess! I will wait till I get the tests back, I don’t want to jinx myself L! HAHA!
Then I worked out, stress relieving workouts are so nice sometimes and now the problem with my knee is back in full force. Doctor appt. will await my homecoming. Now I am back at school for internet and working on stuff for classes next semester and updating this.
Tonight we are all going to Gustas for dinner J! I cannot wait! LOVE that place and I cannot wait to take Nikki and Tricia J!
Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day so of course I am going to get everyone to toast shots of Jameson to Pat Hogan! SO happy to hear Saturday night went so well! Still so sad I missed it!
Not only do I get to skype with my Papa Saturday J and the rest of the fam too! I get to skype with SEIGS FINALLY on Friday plus I get to skype everyone at work from home J! YAY for skype!
Well, other than all this heck of a week, what else is new?
UM NIKKI AUSTIN COMES IN 3 DAYS TO SPEND A WHOLE WEEK WITH ME IN FLORENCE J! CANNOT FREEKING WAIT! I cannot believe the time is already here. I remember getting here thinking it would be so long before she would be visiting!!
Today I literally put on the idea table of what I am going to do with my hair when I get home. I frequently go through old photos and I need a hair cut………SO BAD! So bad. I am pondering chopping it when I get home. I have 2 months to decide.
Yes everyone 2 months till I come home as of the 14th. Are you ready? Am i? Sorry but not yet.. I still got Dublin and Sicily and a week with Nikki, along with other places to go! But yes I do miss America, so yes I am not going to stay here the rest of my life. I got dreams in America to accomplish.
Speaking of dreams-- besides making the trip to Texas this summer to visit friends from here, my dream of going to Paula Deen’s restaurant WILL hopefully get accomplished. People keep talking about it and I am like I have wanted to go forever, so I am going to try and do so.
WELL I will keep it at this for now and update again tomorrow.
Love and Miss. It’s finally warming up here!! YAYA!
