ok ok

sorry to have kept yall waiting (xiomara....) things have gotten, well... i feel like i can't say busy... it's just plain un-italian... but well... i have had much to do. not complaining. i've been very happy. so no worries. midterms are next week (yeah, i don't know how that is possible either) but because of this there has been some more time consuming things to take care of.

but yes. also! i leave bright and early (possibly a little too bright and early) tomorrw morning for Siena and Florence for three days with my art history class. i am very very very excited, but also a little anxious due to all the work that is due as soon as i get back. but honestly, in comparison to what i'm used too it is nothing. but still....
so yes, when i get back i will post pictures, words of the trip, and also some pictures of the stuff i've been making.
cause, it is all at school now for midterms, and i haven't taken pictures yet. so you all will have to wait a little bit longer. (xiomara... hehe sorry, i tease you)


but in the mean time, some light reading.

carlos making a face while making Tostones!!!! which he calls patacones. shrug. at this point, my mind is such a mess of sounds and pieces of things that might be words to someone, and half understood grammer...
don't get me started...



playing with meredith. good times. i know this really convinces everyone that i've been busy....
oh yeah, i saw the pope the other day... yeah. dude causes such a freakin riff in my mornings. every wed. god damn. and this time he even had an orchestra. maybe it was a special day.. who knows. people had more flags than usual...
i'm walking around - i repeat - around san pietro because shit's all crazy inside for pope's weekly ordeal, and you have to wait in lines and go through metal deterctors just to walk through the damn place, which you honestly couldn't do due to how many people are in there, but anyway, back to the fact that i'm walking around san pietro. i realize that people are all swarming to the gates in a more... needy way than i usually witness, and since i was a little later than usual i just so happened to glance over and then, oh hey. there's the pope. i guess i should take a picture or something. it's really blurry cause it was zoomed in. but here... enjoy... or something. he's that blurry white thing.


i'll post again when i get back sunday or monday.

peace yall

gianna. after hearing nothing from you, you write "i'mma gonna eat choo" ??? while this is why i love you, it is still unacceptable.
len. exactly.

I don't think you should worry one bit about the assignments you need to complete. Afterall, you are in ROME! (And from the looks of it, all over Italy). Meanwhile, we're all stuck back home, leading our miserable, pointless lives while you get to have so many adventures. You should be grinning every waking moment. GRIN, DAMN YOU!!
