Ciao.
Saturday May 7, 2011. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still remember telling everyone 1 week till I leave FOR Italy not 1 week till I leave FROM Italy! : ( This is my last weekend in Florence. NOT OKAY!
So anyways. I got internet back……Stupid I had to pay again for it. GRR internet here SUCKS.
Anyways what has been up since Wednesday.. Well Wednesday night of course I watched my SVU episode. SO GOOD and so glad it’s finally back!
Then Thursday I woke up and went for a run/walk down by the Arno, came back and then took a shower, and went and met Sam at the train station to go to Pisa.
So we got into Pisa and walked around the city for a bit. We came to the river and saw this really random church by the river. It was pretty cool looking though! So then we kept walking and finally got to basically one of the only sites to see in Pisa. Haha! Of course that would be the Leaning Tower. It was pretty crowded and hard to take photos of just us in the photo. It was so surreal to actually see the Leaning Tower though, I will be honest. I mean usually that’s just like see it on a postcard or see it on tv kind of thing! But NOPE! I saw it and got a photo with it! SO we took some photos and of course got the holding the tower up photo. It was so funny cause all of a sudden we looked over and a whole line of people were trying to do the same photo. So then we walked around for a bit. Their duomo and baptistery are right by the Leaning Tower as well, so we took a look at those and then went and took a cool looking jumping photo by the Leaning Tower. We then ended up chatting with these 2 American guys who asked us to take a photo of them. I find it so fun to find Americans to chat with and tell them where to go around Italy! After 4 months-- I obviously have some recommendations! Considering that is all you really can see in Pisa, we ended up walking back to the river, taking some photos, and then going to catch the train back to Florence. I looked at Sam on the train and was like that was a nice trip to Sicily! And she was like What?!? And I was like dude we were supposed to go after Sicily remember?? Haha! I wish we were just coming back from Sicily…… : (
So then we got home and I stopped and picked up a few things at the grocery store for dinner and then went and sat at school for a bit to use their internet. Then I came home and made my chicken, pasta, and veggie mix for dinner! It was so good! And then I finished the movie Beaches……If you ever want to cry…….watch that movie. I balled like a baby!
Then I got ready for…… a duhhhh! Cinco de Mayo with some of my favs! So then I went and met Ainsley, Chris, B, Amy, and Lauren to go to Tijuanas for margs! We were kind of worried it would be too crowded, but we were fine! Got a seat and got our margs! Then the crowd started showing up, so we got there at a good time. Of course I got a margarita…… Strawberry this time! So good. I highly doubt I will ever have a margarita like the ones they make again! So sad! Then we sat and chatted for a bit and then got ready to go the bar where Chris’s roommates were doing Karaoke! So then I came home after that and went to bed!
Then I woke up Friday and went for my run/walk by the Arno again and came home, cleaned the kitchen a bit, and then showered and got ready to celebrate International No Diet Day and National Nutella Crepe Day before having to go to the venue we had our farewell party at for FUA! So I met Sam and we walked down to MY nutella crepe place and for the 5th freeking time they didn’t have crepes. I swear I was livid. I am done with them. I will give them one more try next week and if they don’t have them I am demanding free gelato. DONE. So then we went to the place Haleigh likes and got a nutella crepe. What a great day of holidays! Whoever put those 2 things on the same day, I thank them. : )
SO then I went to the market real quick and went over to meet my class to set up for the farewell party we helped plan in my Special Events class all semester. So we got there and set up for a bit and reviewed the plans since we were working it all night. Then we got a break for a half hour……Finnegan’s Irish Pub was right down the street. Of course my idea was followed by everyone and we all went and got a drink. HAHA! I am such a bad influence, but whatever everyone was happy! Haha SO then we went back and set up for a bit more and reviewed the time schedule of events and what our jobs were. So then we got a break again and my 2 friends and I came back to my apartment for a bit and got ready and then went back to start the night. I was in charge of raffle tickets and checking people in at the door. So I did that and then as for what went on at the party—we had a slideshow of photos my class brought in of the semester, a fashion show, raffle, food and drink, music, a rock show, farewell photos people could take, and speeches. After my door entry help, I was supposed to help with photos but that didn’t go as planned! Haha! The whole night went a whole lot better than we thought it would and a lot more students came then we expected and everyone pretty much followed the black and white dress code! We were pretty worried because we thought our teacher would be livid with us if not a lot of people came and would make our final horribly hard. But we ended up getting so many compliments that this is the best farewell party the school has ever had! SO we were happy! After helping put away chairs, we all got to go home thankfully!
So I came home and went to bed. I was supposed to go to Cinque Terre today again and lay out all day by the beach with Sam and Ainsley, but I woke up at 2 am this morning wanting to be sick. No I wasn’t hungover, but I felt like crap still when I woke up so I called Ainsely and told her I couldn’t come!
So then instead, I slept in and then got up, showered, and decided I am so behind on America and keeping in touch with everyone, I went and bought more internet. I swear the whole internet situation is such BS and I don’t even want to count up how much I have paid over the past 4 months. It is so ridiculous! But whatever, now I will have internet when I am sitting in the airport! Bahaha! SO then I ran to the store to pick up a few things and came home and chatted with Bess, Alexa, and Laura about the party and then made lunch and brought my computer up to the balcony with my lunch and ate and got on the internet and caught up with life at home and added photos! So then I was getting so hot, so I went shopping for a bit and then went and picked up some veggies for dinner. Then I came home and now I’m back on my balcony writing this and I am going to call people and try to skype with people from my balcony on this pretty day!
I am excited for my dinner tonight and then all us girls are meeting up tonight to go out when Sam and Ainsley get back!
Tomorrow I am laying out all day by the Arno with Haleigh and Ainsley to study for our finals!
So other than this……1 week I know. Dummmmmmmb.
Random fact, I am eating ice right now and I can’t explain how great it tastes and how much I wish I had some strawberry water to go with it. : ) haha!
I will say yes, I am excited to see everyone so soon, but it’s going to be super hard to leave. I know I will be back though. I already told my friends I could never do another semester here without them, they made the semester what it was and I don’t know what I would do without them! I can’t wait to go visit them, but I wish we all lived closer!
So I will leave it at this for now! Ciao Ciao until my next post!
Love and Miss!
