So I went to Florence and it was beautiful. I met up with everyone in my exchange group and I missed seeing everyone. The architecture of all the buildings are so amazing and the colors are fantastic. I met a "medieval princess" and she asked why I was not married and I said I was in school and then she lectured me about how its women's work to cook and have children, not school. Cool beans lady. No it was fun and I have some interesting photos of my friends.

So today is a nice relaxing kind of day low in stress and high in relaxing. Been catching up on my TiVo for American shows and  now going to watch some movie. I am knitting a scarf for my host mom for Christmas. I understand that it is kind of old ladyish but its a skill.

So I went to this wicked party/ concert on Saturday. Sorry I haven't posted, I have gotten a bit busy but there should never be an excuse. Anyways life has gotten busy for myself in all ways. I have to make a kick butt speech because I will be presenting it at my school for international student/ exchange week. Exciting right! I'm very nervous though because they told me maybe 50-100 people....yikes. This opportunity should open a couple of doors for me which will be great career wise. But before the speech I am going to Florence with the rest of my exchange friends which I am more excited for, I miss them dearly.

So I asked for something different and I go it. I normally go home for lunch, but today my host sister asked if I wanted to go out for lunch." Um....yes of course" I had answered and oh how much fun it was. It my myself, my host sister, her friend and another friend of ours. It was amazingly fun and we had a good laugh and everything was fun. This picture is of my after lunch coffee, only I had after lunch cioccolato con panne, which is thick hot chocolate with a not sweet whipped cream. Oh it was good and the afternoon was perfect.

So this is what we do on Friday night's we make lego space stations. My host dad did an amazing job I think on this and it was started on Monday I believe. So normal American teens party or go to football games or other sports events, in Italy we make Lego space stations. I wouldn't change this for the world.

So, everything has been pretty normal and not a lot is going on right now. Going to see Pollock's art show in Milan today but other than that normal day. I usually am the first to say normal is good but I want something different now. Maybe just something that happens once would be amazing, don't get me wrong I am totally happy I'm just a little bored is all. Anyways comment on some ideas to get out of the normal.

Today I had an interview with someone from the American University of Rome. I was very nervous but I think I did pretty good. We met at the beautiful Duomo and I can not help myself from taking picture of this amazing building.
