I Still Exist!

I’ve become delinquent with my blog posts… I apologize. Would some pretty pictures make you forget?

Cooking with the Concierge

Trekking with Chen

This is the Director of our School

I travelled independently to Rome last weekend with Tori, Penny, and Jade. We laughed lots and made pasta at the hostel with the concierge. (Oh yeah, and that sightseeing thing, too.)

I miei genitori are coming to visit me this Thursday! I couldn’t be happier, not only to see them, but to see Brownie mix and Bisquick (neither of which exist here).

Everyone is really situated in their life here, for better or for worse. There are definitely cliques, but I still hang-out with a wide variety of people. Also, I re-joined the gym to combat all this pasta and nutella but am going to continue belly dancing basically because it’s awesome.

Yesterday (Saturday) I went with my math teacher Mr. Chen and about 13 other students to the castle where TomKat was married! Anyone who knows me well knows that silly puppy voice I do whenever I see pictures of them. Fortunately there were no pictures at the castle and I still have friends. It was a really beautiful view, but there was an exhibit of Capucci avant-garde dresses, which was totally strange and not at all in keeping with the whole castle-torture-defense-death theme. (But I still thought it was pretty cool.)

Today, all day, I’m working on my English paper. But I love Sunday lunch with my family. My host brother Gianmarco has a friend here from Rome, Michele. He’s really cool and speaks about 100 times more clearly than Gianmarco (which is still really unclear…).  It’s a really nice way to relax and forget about everything and just chat with my host family. Last night we had dinner next door with my friends Sara and Zoë, which was also really fun.
