Ciao Bella!!

So I have not posted since JULY... Why didnt someone call me up and tell me to get my rear end back on this thing!? I have missed a whole semester of updates.

Well, Fall semester was... interesting. I spent pretty much all of my time (free time and time I should have been doing homework) with John. Yeah. I know. But its not what you think. We really just get along well and both loved the idea of getting lost in DC at least one weekend out of the month. Classes... of course did not go so well. I was very worried come November that I would be failing three classes.... THREE! Not good by any means. I did pull some of it out. I only failed Managerial Finance... but it is a really hard class. I am taking it again now and am finding this semester to be much easier, possibly because my one distraction is now back in Las Vegas as he has graduated. Other than that Fall semester was so much fun. As I said at least one saturday of each month was dedicated towards DC. John would go do a session and I would hang out in the visitors center or on the temple grounds which are beautiful up there and then we would go ride the metro all day, discover new museums (all of them are free except for the Spy museum so we find the free ones ha), and found some great places to eat up there. We truly are fat kids aka we like our good food. We did a lot of that last semester too... a lot of cooking. This is weird because I hate... okay, dislike cooking with other people. I think this comes because I know how I want my peppers cut, how I want my chicken cooked, how I want things set up and Im not a very good teacher so I am the only one who can figure it out though I came to learn how to accept help. He is a very good cook (even made dinner for the fam when we went up after finals).

Yes... I still know how this sounds but I promise... Just Friends. In my last post I commented how he was flying in to NY and after finals he flew out of JFK so we had a few more days in NY. I was home for Christmas but left a few days after to come back to school so I could go to....


Ready....

ROME!!


Yes, it was as amazing as you might think it was, sorry for rubbing it in but you must know of my excitement and love for the area and hopefully one day you will get to go too! I know of some great little restaurants and gelato shops so just let me know if you do get the chance. Ive decided that if money allows it that whenever I happen to find "him" we are going to Italy on our honeymoon... Im hoping that being with me will be enough for him and he wont care where we go (though really... who is going to protest wanting to go to Italy)

Once I get all of my photos Ill pick and choose a few per day to put up here. It was a wonderful trip. My first time on a plane. First time on a transatlantic flight. First time in a foreign country... for new years too. It was a load of firsts but so much fun. Ive decided I am really a big fan of traveling.

So now I am back in Buena Vista, Virginia. Spring Semester has started and I am very excited for it. So far I have... done homework. Lots of homework. Every night... Im doing homework. Its not that I have a very large amount its just I am enjoying doing it right now - which is super weird for me. Im being very less than social. Part of that problem is the one person I spent so much time with last semester is indeed gone and I feel like I have to go out and meet a bunch of people... It doesnt help that both of my roomates have serious boyfriends and spend most of their time with them leaving me to do... homework. Im sure my advisor with love this though, now that I have all this time to be on top of schoolwork. I havent started back at the cafe yet, still trying to figure out if it will be a good idea and if I should do it with an 18 credit courseload (Managerial Finance, Spanish 2, Classics of Western Literature, Organizational Communication, Principles of Organization and Leadership, Senior Staff Newspaper - Business Manager) and I am still involved in SVU Management Society. I think Ill be able to free up some time considering my event for MS is this thursday and then I just need to assist in others events.


Anyway... this has been long and probably boring for others but I enjoy blogging. My fingers type faster than my hands can write so I know that if I dont get something down in my journal it will most likely be on my blog (except when I forget about the blog since July.... uh!)
