So I just want to let everyone know that I'll probably be gone a few days (until I find and apartment with internet!!) because I'm headed to Florence, Italy to study architecture for a year!! I'm really excited. My plane takes off tomorrow, so basically I'm freaking out. It'll be a long-haul flight.... flying from San Francisco to Paris to Florence. I get one week to find an apartment, so by then, hopefully my roommate and I will hook up the wireless in the apartment somehow. And then school starts, learning Italia and sketching around the city!! It's gonna be fun. I gotta go pack the rest of my stuff now. Anyways, Arrivederci!!! ;D  |

Hiiiii!!! Wow, I'm so tired, yet I can type like no other. Yes.
I'm in Firenze right now, in a wifi bar... aka FREE INTERNET!! Yay... hee hee. It's about a block away from my apartment, which is sweet. Yeah.. I found an apartment already and it's like three blocks away from the Duomo... the really famous church that has a dome on it. I started Italian class yesterday and I've been walking around this city just because there are a million things to be done. It's been crazy... I don't have time to be jet-lagged. It's hard getting around when I know little Italiano. Anyways, I'm glad me and my baggage got here safely.... hee hee. Buenanotte.

Have you ever had you baggage eaten by the thingy? That happened to mom once. The strap got stuck in the thing that spins. It was a good laugh ^_^. When my sister went to London, my dad called her at 10 at night and she answered. It was 3 in the morning for her. They had completely forgotten about the time change. I have no idea what that has to do with Florence but it made me giggle.

Nope, thankfully I had all my baggage returned to me. Unfortunetely, half of the people from my program lost their luggage for a day or two and I know one person who STILL doesn't have theirs... it sucks. It was definitely hard spotting my luggage on the belt and pulling it off, since it was 50 lbs. Yeah, it's almost 7 AM, but it's almost 4 PM here. My eyes hurt from the pollution I think. I want to call my parents right now so I can use ichat with them, but it's too early. I stil have the Pacific time on my computer.... ha ha. Just to remind me. That's alright, I need a little change from talking about this city.  |
