Correre (core-aire-ray) – Run

….well today was just down right perfect….from the weather to my day’s activities, to the fact that Josh gets here on Satuday….perfect…
            …started the morning nice and early with school….very very few people in class so that was kinda of fun…they are all in Dublin today for St. Patrick’s Day (hey happy st. patty’s people) so class was quiet and nice….afterwards I came home to grab some lunch, and then went grocery shopping with my friend Gianna, mainly because it was fun and I could J…and then I thought since it was such a nice day and I didn’t really have much to do, I should go window shopping…..which naturally changed into real shopping…..not too bad tho J…..because well I went aaalllllllll the way down Via Garibaldi AND Via Roma!.....which are the two biggest shopping streets in Torino…….and what killed me? H&M….but really, are we shocked at all?? Nope J
            ….so after I walked all over…I made my way back home….stopping to see Gianni and grab some gelato…as per the usual J and after all, it was so so so hot today! I was actually totally sweaty from my shopping….therefore I NEEDED it J…..I continued to then sit outside on the balcony attempting homework and mostly people watching… once it finally cooled off, and well I got tired of attempting my homework on my own, and decided I needed Ely’s help for the rest…for some reason a run sounded like a great idea….and actually it was…
            ….my general idea while Im here is to not really worry, persay about working out or my eating (which now that I am writing that and reading it in my head, doesn’t actually sound so good….oohhh well J)….but basically my thought process is that I am only living here for 5 months, and the food is good and I have to leave it in May, therefore, we can worry about all of that in May, I just cant go too crazy J….Ive been trying to do some Piyo here and there, and not eat gelato twice a day, but basically not feeling bad if I don’t workout everyday J….its a pretty great life……but anywho, back to my running…

            ….it was soooo beautiful! And sooo relaxing….to one side of my school, across the street, there is a foot bridge that goes over the major road, to a park right on the river on the other side….with basically the green belt right there….it was so busy it was great….such great views of Po and so many people to watch…the river was super busy too….i seriously didn’t know that rowing was so popular here, but there were tons of teams of them out, and kayakers and speed boats…so cool to see….i went at about 5:30pm so the sun was setting and everyone was out, young, old, families, couples, singles….so fun….i ran a good ways down to one of the major traffic bridges and back….between running and walking it was a good hour workout, and I didn’t even realize it…..perfect really, got home right as it was actually getting dark J….seriously, one of those times, you just see all these people and are taking the time to really look at the world you live in, and think to yourself, oh my goodness, im doing it, Im actually living in Italy…seriously…its truly a magical thing….


            …I spent the rest of the night just hanging out at home, doing some homework and hanging out with my sicky host brother….funny he is much less disaster, and much more lovey when he is sick…..i guess we wont have to leave him on the corner as trade in for that puppy….lucky him J….well my friends…thank you again for following the blog, you are all too kind for coming along on this crazy adventure with me J I love and miss you guys so so much…this may be an amazing life Im getting to live and experience, but you definently still miss your home and the people there….hope lives are all going well…ti amo J
