why hello there.....its been awhile...

so yeah i told myself that i was going to post everyday, but nothing really exciting has happened....we finally hit the m=one month mark of being here. time has really flow by. i have been so many places since i have been here its not even funny. so this week we had our last class w Francesco. that was a really fun class and i will miss it. on thursday we only had one class so we were free the whole afternoon. it was mainly a chill day so we just hung out at the villa. friday was free to so i got to sleep in for awhile. after lunch, me and maddie went into town. i got the boots that i wanted so i was happy. after that we played some games and had a barbeque at the villa. the ga,es were fun and entailed a whole bunch of random things. after that we decided to go to the Red Garter which is a karaoke bar. we all had a blast!!! the whole group came except for the girls who were in Ireland. even jen the lady who heads up the program here and our RD pietro! we had a blast. i even went up with 2 other girls jill and fiona and sang your love is my drug by ke$ha! saturday i slept in till 12 i was tired from all the things we had done on friday... everyone else did too. that day i hung out and went shopping with rachel and katie. we also went to mass at 5 at the duomo bc its in english!!!! it was so nice going to mass where i actually understood and could follow along. after that everyone wanted pizza, but me and rachel really wanted to get some alfredo pasta. after walking a good 30 mins we finally found a decent place with pasta alferdo. we decided to split so it would be even cheaper....that is untill we got the bill....they charged us 4 euros for a bottle of water!!!!! had we known we wouldnt have done that :/ oh well we got to have a nice chat and walked around downtown florence at night. once we had gotten back to the villa we decided to stay here and start studying, but a few others went out again. we were tired so we didnt want to go. sunday was truly a lazy sunday again. i got a lot of reading in to help prepare for my history final at the end of the month and i did some italian homework. i had to write to a friend back home in italian. but all in all it was an ok week but deff had a blast with everyone on friday night! ciao!
