….today was a day of really nothing…but
it was really nice actually J….last night a bunch of us went out downtown for one
of the English guys’ birthdays and it was sooo much fun….since we stayed out
though past the metro closing, I stayed with a friend that lives downtown and
came back early this morning when the metro opened….so long story short I was
pretty exhausted for class this morning at 9am…
…but
I only had Italian this morning…it actually was really interesting today, we
learned a lot of really good vocab…like days of the week, months, times, and
directions….also we worked on learning possessives so that was nice too….
…after
class it was home for a good ol nap….then a few hours later, back to school to
meet up with the girl that I am going with to London next weekend to plan for
things to do there….we ended up finding a hop-on-hop-off tour to take around to
the major sights which will be cool…and a walking tour of the famous pop
culture sites in town like where you could buy tickets to the Titanic and where
the Beatles used to record….we are super excited too J…I cant believe that I
am going to be able to see Big Ben and all sorts of other amazing sites that
are so typical to London….i am so freaking excited…
…when
I got home I watched Batman: Dark Knight Rises in Italian with Eliana and that
was super cool….its amazing how well you realize that you know a movie that you
try to be able to translate the words to all the lines you know….it was really
fun J
…when
Eliana left to pick up Giacomo and go run errands I got to skype my Steve….he
is one of my best friends back in Boise….I haven’t really gotten to skype him
for a long time the entire time that I have been here….so it was so amazing to
be able to spend 2 solid hours talking to him….it so incredibly hard to change
from living across the hall from him, (and basically as an extra roommate
there) to 4500 miles away….and as busy
as everyone is doing school and work and everything and the time difference,
its really hard to set the time to have a good long talk….but man it made me so
happy today to see him and talk to him…
….in
your life, I believe that you will find lots of people that can make you happy,
feel great about your life, and enjoy your days…..but it takes those few,
really, really special people who just somehow make you a better person….make
you want to be the best you can be and encourage you to work hard to be great….and
they are proud of all you do…these people are my family back in boise…..and I
miss them everyday that I am here…like I was telling Steve today…its not like I
miss Boise….i don’t miss the place, I miss the pieces of my heart that are with
the people in that place….i find myself thinking all the time….how much I miss
them….dont get me wrong…I am ABSOLUTELY in love with this life that I am
blessed to be living….but you can definently feel how long 4500 miles is for
your heart strings to stretch…..Steve is my best friend…..Shebs is my person…and
the rest of my family there….I would not be the same person that I am today,
the one who was brave enough to even take on this adventure….with the support
and love they show me….so I guess what I am trying to say is, again, how
incredibly thankful I am to have them in my life, and how terribly I am missing
them….oh! and how thankful I am for skype….its slowly becoming like the best
invention in my opinion….it connects me to the other side of the world and I am
so thankful…..and seeing those faces is what recoups me....talking to them makes me feel like i am right near them, so close....today was a re-energizer for me :)
….the
rest of the night was just spent in, dinner with Eli and Giacomo….and of
course, a little Wreck It Ralph….gotta love the home life….goodnight all J
