I am just tired of being cold all the time. I expect it when I go outside, but when I am inside, I expect it to be warm, but no, I don't have that luxury! The only place that seems to be warm is the library at school...convenient huh?! Well it would be if their library was like the libraries at home. But no, nothing here is normal (okay, normal is a very open term but whatever). The library at school is like the size of a bathroom to a master-bedroom. It has a few computers and 3 shelves of books, and one is taken up with DVDs. Oh, and it has a printer/copier and that is about it. So it's not the best place to hang out in.
Anyway, Friday was a pretty lazy day....well the whole weekend was pretty lazy. Okay, who am I kidding?! It was extremely lazy!! It was pretty much blizzard-ing on Friday. It looked so terrible when we looked out the window all day. The wind was crazy and mixed with snow. It looked like someone was sifting powdered sugar over the town and we were right under the sifter. All 4 of us were convinced that we were not gonna leave our apartment on Friday. So we didn't! A few of our friends were teasingly hassling us to go out with them on Friday night. Caroline and I are both people pleasers and kept feeling bad for not going out with them especially since it is the second to last weekend that our friend Meesh will be here because she is part of the 3-city program so she will be leaving soon to go to Rome for a month then to Venice for the last month. Caroline and I kept going back and forth on whether we should go out or not and eventually our other roommate Sara was feeling bad for us and told the other girls that she was not gonna let us leave the apartment cause the weather was too bad and that they were bullying us too much. Haha! I love Sara! She is like the mom of the group...but a super cool mom! And her NY accent just makes it that much better! So we stayed in and the 4 of us roommies watched Bridesmaids. Such a good movie! They probably hated me cause I was saying like every line with the movie since I've seen it so many times and my friends and I back home recite the lines to each other all the time! Then we had a good heart-to-heart roommate talk. Then I skyped my parents for a little bit! yay!! I love getting to talk to them! All my roommates wanna come home with me now too cause they think my parents are awesome after hearing our skype-ing haha we also wanna go visit Sara in NY cause her parents (and good looking brother...who is my age btw haha) seem awesome too!! We will definitely remain in touch and stay friends when we get back!
Saturday was pretty much the same way. We didn't really do anything during the day. Just cuddled up in our beds trying to stay warm. Oh, but our landlords son, Daniele (sp? but you pronounce it like danielle-ay) came over Saturday morning and offered to go out and buy us groceries!!! How adorable and nice of him! He also was like "I have car that drive in snow" in case we wanted to go anywhere! Then he swept off our stairs for us!! I just love our landlords and their son!! They are so awesome and precious! Later on though, the wind had calmed down and it wasn't deathly snowing so we went out with our friends since we didn't on Friday night. We went to our friends apartment for a while then went to Duomo (duh!). It was a good time as always. The usual crowd of locals and Americans were there! Then the butcher was there!!! It was hilarious!
Caroline was freaking out and so were the rest of us to be honest haha it was really funny! Then we decided to go to the bar in our backyard (Mr. Kat). It was only me and Caroline, Jenny, Connor, Kelsey, and Allie that went there. We were only there for like an hour or so then we went back home. Our stairs were so hard to go up and down! They are marble and when you add snow and ice to them, they are almost impossible to walk on! Almost wiped out a few times, but (knock on wood) I haven't fallen yet here! Yay me!
Then today was super lazy again...something new and different. I sat in bed and watched a few DVDs and worked on some homework. Didn't really do anything other than that. Never changed out of my PJs either haha. This week though it is supposed to warm up to the mid to high 40's so hopefully we won't be so lazy this week! A lazy week isn't so bad every now and then though. I am very excited for my cooking and wine class (btw, i finally uploaded my wine pic from last time!)
on Wednesday and Thursday this week, and also we are going back to work on the floats for the parades this week tomorrow, Tuesday, and Thursday so that will be fun (and finally uploaded a pic from working on the floats)!
Then this weekend is Carnivale here in Tuscania so there will be plenty to do! I think this week is gonna be awesome! I am really looking forward to it! I can't wait to tell you all about it!
I miss all of you! It sucks that my only real form of communication is through Facebook and sometimes skype is the internet isn't sucky that day. I am tryin to get Facetime on my computer cause that seems to work better than skype but we will see! I'm hoping my family gets a chance to come over and visit me. I would love to show them around my home away from home and just show them how beautiful it is here! I really think that everyone should put 'visiting Tuscania, Italy' on their bucket list. It really is one of a kind!
Until next time...Ciao!
