is it wednesday night yet?

So, TECHNICALLY, it is not Wednesday night. However, it is Wednesday in Italy and IT IS nighttime in America and I have some things I wanted to write down before I forget. Besides, I didn't want to update until all my work was done, but will the work ever really be finished?

Allora, I just walked home from my friend Emily's house in the rain; it is 3:15am.

That sentence right there defines 5 main points I would love to share with you; a little tonight, more in depth, hopefully, tomorrow.

1. Whenever I walk alone (don't worry, that's 95% safe to do here) I think of all the things I would say if I were able to blog. I think about all the things that have happened in my time here, I think about the things I see along the on my walk home, I think about all the events of the day. I blog about everything, in my head. Now, if only I could find a way to get my thoughts to post themselves in the blog, I’d a. save a lot of time, b. save myself a ton of time and give you all a lot more to read, c. have to do some heavy editing for all the potty language running through my mind, and/or d. be considered insane.
2. There have been many late, late nights this semester. It’s been very stressful and hopefully that will all be different this time tomorrow.
3. I have learned many Italian words/phrases that I would love to share with you, Allora being one of them.
4. It rains here, a lot. Oh, and there are strong winds and crazy hail. I’ll elaborate more tomorrow.
5. I cannot wait to tell you about my amazing friends I have; the friends who I have just met and have already become so close with, the friends who have stuck with me through it all, the friends who have more patience than I thought any one single person was capable of having, the friends who are more than anything I could ever ask for, the friends who mean more to me than anything.

I think this should do it for now. More to come...




Oh, and again, comments!!
I may not know who you are, but I know you are reading my blog.

the final countdown (cue the music)

I cannot wait for Wednesday to come and go. You might question this, especially because I want time to slow down, but here goes:

Wednesday I have a super huge final. It is the final thing I am worried about for the rest of the semester. I still have an exam on Friday and a final for my macro class, but I am not worried at all about either of those. After those 3 finals are complete... (swallows lump in throat) I'll be a college graduate. I have so many emotions to share with you about this, but first I have work to complete and studying to do.

After Wednesday, I want to blog for a lifetime all about things I've seen, things I've done, things I've learned. I will start with my feelings about Christmas and Graduation. If there are any other topics you'd like me to cover first, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know. Otherwise, you are going to have pages among pages to sort through for the details you want.

I also can't wait to load the 3,000 something photos from Italy and other places in Europe. I will be working on that for a few days and posting photos (or links) as I progress.

Back to my intro paragraph: I wish time (after Wednesday) would slow down and maybe it will once all the hard work is over. I continuously feel like there are never enough hours in the day. The past 3 months has gone by so incredibly fast and I am not ready for December 19th AT ALL.

More to come... (PLEASE COMMENT!!)
