7 Weeks Down, 11 Weeks To Go

One can only believe I have been in Italy for 7 weeks.  To be honest with you I really don’t know whether to be happy or sad about.  I have enjoyed most of my time here and I made it through some difficult issues.  I have come to realize that things aren’t always like you dreamed they would be.  I have met some interesting people here and some that I hope that we could remain friends in the future, others that I wish I never met.  Though I haven’t been many places YET. I feel like I have seen a lot.  I hope to start traveling considering spring break (“Easter Break”) is coming up in a little over a week. Which I need to buy my tickets and reserve rooms for my Italian Tour. Rome – Florence – Venice – Verona – Milan.  I’m ready and looking forward to Easter in Rome and at the Vatican.  Hopefully I will have more pictures to post then and after I run some errands this week to finish some tasks that I need down before spring break.  Fingers-crossed for me.  School is going and crazy to believe that my first midterm is on Thursday. Save/Help Me! Plus it really doesn’t help that one of my professors writes like a five year-old on the board and no one can understand it.  Though he thinks everyone understands it.  Lord I’m a Int. business major with minors in economics and political science and I understand that this guy has no clue that he is mixing up formulas and letters that aren’t use in the formulas. Seriously it’s horrible.
Other than my pending stress that is already starting, I have come to realize that living in a different country for a while helps you grow and learn about yourself.  I have learned that leaving behind the loving countryside and mountains of Tennessee for the crazy city of Milan leads me to see that for what it is worth I will always be a country girl, but with the dreams of a city girl.  I believe the saying is “You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl,” which defines my life at present.  For now it’s another lazy   I enjoy these weekends here.  Having a lazy weekend back in the states seems impossible sometimes. Especially during the school year and working.  The best part of my week has
weekend for me mostly because of upcoming midterms and the fact that it rained last night and is still gloomy outside.
been Skyping my dog. Yes I Skype my dog.  I miss him so much and can’t wait until I can hug him.   Not to mention to hug my friends which will be a while since they will be home for the summer by the time I get back stateside.  Which is really depressing.  I miss all of my friends and the closeness of the MC community.  I hope all my friends had a great spring break! Miss y’all so much! Go Scots! Love Y’all!
