Update

Aunty M reminded me that I hadn't posted to this in awhile. She said she hoped it because I was busy, but its been quite a few things really. First of all our internet, all though it is better, is still a little spotty. Secondly, my roommate's grandfather died on Thursday night and she found out Friday evening in a not so nice way. She was on facebook chat and her cousin told her. Her parents have worked out how to skype her into the memorial service but it has still been difficult for her. On top of that she got sick with a bad cold, which I then got the next day. We are both slowly getting over it. We did have our first experience with the Farmacia across the street trying to get medicine, which we did finally succeed at.

Saturday Marissa, an apartment mate, and her friend Michi and I took the very long train to Pisa. We all really wanted to go and all though it seemed kind of ridiculous to everyone else we decided we wanted to do it in a day trip. It didn't make sense to 1 pay for a hotel or 2 take a day away from whenever we went to Florence. The trip was fabulous. It was a wonderful sunny day, around 55. We got to climb all the way to the top of the tower and then participate in the craziness which was a ton of tourists out on the lawn taking the same stupid pictures.

We had some slight complications getting home, only because the city seemed to shut down because there was a futbol game. We managed to grab a taxi and make it to the train station in plenty of time.

It snowed/ white rained Sunday and Monday. Now it's just cold.

I bought a color sheet grabber thing so I could do more colors at once and instead turned all my whites blue because of my jeans. I guess its a good thing we also have bleach in the house. Caroline and I aren't going to lessons today because of the cold and have been instructed to see a doctor tomorrow if we don't feel better. Caroline says she thinks she is pulling out of it so hopefully that means I only have one day left of this.
