some of these were just too funny

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Save me some turkey!

3 months.. wow.. it has now been 3 months! That is just crazy.

I come home a month from today!

I left 2 months ago today.
What?
That sounds like a really long time.
Sometimes it feels like it, sometimes it doesn't.

So today, I impusivly decided to cut my hair.
I got layers.
I always do that.

Everyone said it was really cute. I like it enough but like i don't love it. gah why do i do these things?

Then,
this girl ive been flirting with for the last month who works at our coffee bar.. I kind of asked her out and she flat out rejected me - like she was really mean about it. at least she could have been nice. now im like totally depressed. gah i hate girls.

great start to my birthday week/end.

Wow, I'm going to be so fat.
Today I ate:

2 chocolate pastries
1 gelato
2 cappuccini
1 panino with melted cheese

and I'm still going to have dinner, which is 3 courses.
and I eat pretty much exactly this everyday.
I miss the gym.

No more cookies for you.

I love Rome. I love Paris. I love art and history and language.

But, I love playing music most of all.

It has been over 3 weeks since I played a violin. Longest ever.
I'm having a hard time with that.

I miss it so much.

The director of the program's assistant is looking into one for me to rent. She's from here. But that won't happen for a few more weeks yet because she is trying to get us all legal stay permits.

And with celtic fest this weekend - I want to play.
Part of me just wants to come home before I get fat off of gelato.

When I was in Ireland for the fleadh 5 years ago all I wanted to do was scout out french tourists.
Now, all I want to do is listen to Irish Music. Hmmmm...interesting....
I guess you want what you can't have? Or my intrests are shifting... or both...

Maybe it's a just a bad day..

So we leave for the airport in 4 and 1/2 hours and I fly out in 8 and 1/2. I hate airports. But I love flying. I'm really excited, we found where my family lives and it's by San Giovanni in Laterno, close to the Colosseo and the Forum - Ancient Rome! I'm less than a mile from the Colosseum, I could walk it! I'm getting excited!

Milwaukee was fun, we played really well I thought. And we got a great reception which is always nice. I will miss you all. Send me stuff!
