Days-touch of home

Sooo it has been a while. I wanted to just tell a few of my favorite days. On last tuesday, I had been to class and then dicking around school and got pretty much nothing done. when i got home i sat in my work out clothes for 30 minutes staring at the clock debating if i should go or not. well i decided not. i got my roommate liz to put down her italian homework, we ran to Standa (supermarket) got gelato, and fanta (haha it was "Red Emotion" - blood orange flavor) stuffed them in my purse and ran to the Odeon movie theater to see "the curious case of benjamin button" which is amazing by the way!!! this was our second time at Odeon. it is a beautiful place, they also show opera and orchestra shows here. it is covered in marble and gold trim ceilings, with a glass dome in various shades of green and red, we sat at the very top, right under the movie reel. we were able to look down over most of the people and the screen was huge for us. it was really awesome! we had triple chocolate gelato, we ate almost the whole damn thing. it was a content feeling of chocolate gluttony of the best kind.

then that thursday I had jewelry and finished my first pair of earrings ever! they are baller! copper frames with silver rivets that has cranberry red leather on the inside. then i went to school and finally got my package from home (a week later...thank you italy) inside my family had put valentines candy, work out clothes and other essentials. they even made a card that recorded their voices saying "happy valentines day" and what not. it was awesome to hear all of them, in this little card. and after they were talking the card sang the song " we are family" haha it was a really special moment. i have to admit i cried a little bit. then immediately after that i was starting to make pasta for lunch and liz walked in with sun dried tomatoes and we threw in more pasta, added some dried mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, cheese, and other goodness and made by far one of the best pasta dishes we have had thus far here in italy in 20 minutes before liz had to leave for her next class is was perfect timing! the cosmo all came together in that one moment!
after she left i went to school and got to skype with steve, mary claire and kristi. haha i was in the library (that is the best place to get wireless) so i could not talk back to them, i had to type, but to see their faces was magical for me. after getting my present from home and that great lunch then seeing my friends, as if i was right there with them was a fabulous moment! it was incredible for me! it just felt so nice to get a touch of home!

anyway that was my fab tuesday and thursday. i am running late to sculpture...more to come soon!
