italiaa

omg italy was so great. if you wanna see the pictures, theyre on facebook. i got to see all of the important monuments in rome, like the spanish steps, the trevi fountain, the cat sanctuary, the vatican (st peters basilica AND the sistine chapel) and the pantheon, the colosseum... and i went shopping A LOT. i also saw the roman forum. my favorite part, though, was on the last day when we took a one euro train 20 minutes out of rome to Ostia Antica. It's an ancient city that used to be a seaport but due to earthquakes is a bit inland now. it was amazing. most of it isnt restored, so its basically just a city of ruins that you can explore and climb on. the coolest thing was the awesome black and white floor mosaics of amazing scenes and the amphitheater. so much funnn

spring break

just finished cleaning my dorm room. sort of. im ready to go home. sort of. and i have packed for italy. sort of. well i am not really ready to go to italy. i mean technically i am, i have my passport and money and clothes and stuff but i dont know if im mentally ready to have that much fun. im gonna get picked up from school soon and i am tired and i skipped my multi lecture so i could clean.

the reason im going to italy is to visit my cousin, whos studying abroad there this semester. im visiting with her immediate family (her sister and her parents) who are, by no coincidence, my cousin aunt and uncle. im not very interesting why are you reading this.

im gonna miss my boyfriend a lot cause i wont be able to text him cause ill be overseas, but he promised he would email me every day. maybe we can talk on facebook too. ill probably be too busy to talk to him much, which is okay cause i will see him as soon as i get back to school.

ps my birthday is in about 3 weeks yayay 18
