So it's been a long time since I last updated. Last time I updated I had gone to Milan...so hmm...
Me and Jamie are still good...we've had our little things here and there when he gets freaked out by the thought of an actual relationship (normal for him of course). The weekend of September 29th, my program went to the Amalfi Coast. This consists of Capri, Sorrento (home of limoncello), Positano and Naples. It was very beautiful and I had a pretty good time. I was a bit moody at points because I was sick, but it had its benefits, because I got a bed to myself, since I was quarantined away from sharing a bed haha. Not too bad if I say so myself.
The weekend of October 6th, I went on a day trip with 2 of my roommates to the designer outlets in Tuscany. It was a really fun day and I had a great time. The only thing I bought was some Dolce & Gabbana underwear because it was about all I could afford. A bra and pair of underwear was cheaper than at Victoria's Secret. I desperately wanted this gorgeous, and I mean absolutely beautiful, little black dress...but...it was 1,050 € which was just a little bit out of my price range haha. My roommates, Nancy and Antonia did enough damage for me too so it was ok.
The weekend of October 19th I went to London! It was one of the coolest places I have ever been to and I absolutely loved it. I went to see Chicago, with Ashlee Simpson playing Roxy Hart, and Wicked, with the guy from Coyote Ugly! It was probably one of the best weekends of my life and I loved every minute of it, except leaving of course. I even bought a hot new jacket to go to London because i knew it was going to be cold, which it was, and this jacket is oh so wonderful. It's down, but not too puffy and it has a removable fur collar. It wasn't exactly cheap, but I can wear this for a long time...it'll pay for itself, especially in Prague and when I get home.
Last weekend I travelled to Paris...not as impressive as I thought it would be. It was still pretty cool. I went to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and boy is that thing tall haha. Obvious I know, but you have to go to the top, it's crazy! I also went shopping on the Champs Elysees which was a lot of fun. I bought some really cute clothes and a pair of Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses. Very hot! I know they were a lot of money, but if you know me well enough, it is impossible and a half to find me sunglasses...harder than finding me shoes! They're hot and I love them and I'll have them for a long time, so whatever right! haha We also went to DisneyLand Paris!! It really is the happiest place on Earth. It was sooo cool. It was decorated for Halloween and everything, which was awesome...very festive. Made me feel at home a bit. I got to go on the Pirates ride and in the Phantom Manor, which is key for Halloween time. I got a bunch of souveniers too...I swear my family is going to have the best Christmas ever haha. And I am too...but I've been accumulating my presents this semester, so I won't get much but I don't care...it's toally worth it.
For Halloween, we all did a pub crawl. I have to admit I think I looked pretty hot, so I'm defintiely re-using that costume. I don't even know what it is. Kind of like a hot business Playboy bunny or something haha. I loved it, my roommates even got me to wear the bunny ears, which I really didn't want to, but I guess in the end it really did make the outfit. The first 2 hours of the pub crawl were pretty good, but on our way to the third one, it was a really long and slow walk since there were about 200 people and we didn't even get into the third pub because they wouldn't let the pub crawl in for some reason. So onto the last pub, we grabbed our free t-shirts and called a cab. Overall it was a pretty good time...definitely a Halloween to remember. I'm just proud of myself I didn't let anyone do a body shot off of me. I figure I wouldn't want Jamie doing one off of someone so it wouldn't exactly be fair for me to do one, although if he had been there, I would've done one haha.
I'm still going to Berlin and Prague and for Thanksgiving I'm going to visit my Dad's cousins in Sicily, which is really exciting for me. I was planning on having to spend Thanksgiving alone, although Jamie and Kayla were going to be awesome and talk to me so I didn't feel too alone. Now I don't have to sepnd it alone though and I'm excited. Cully is coming to Berlin with me, which should be a lot of fun. Prague will just be beautiful, I can't wait. Not to mention it will probably be the first, and only, time I see snow while I'm here. As much as I hate snow, it still reminds me of home.
Jamie might be coming home in February, which I'm really excited about. I'm really excited about going home too. I wouldn't want to go home right now, but I do want to go home when I am haha if that makes any sense. I'm probably going to be home a day earlier than planned, so the 16th instead of the 17th. I'm pretty excited. It'll be really weird coming home though...kind of like in Sims when they leave the house and they come and no time has passed, that's how I feel it should be, but I know it's not. And my house is completely different, lots of rennovations going on there.
Well since that was pretty much the longest journal entry ever!, I'm going to get going...plus it's getting later here and I eventually want to go home haha. Hope everyone is good, and you could try e-mailing me you know haha.
Ciao bellas! |
