Well about 5 days away from parting....so many things are rolling through my head. How will I pack all these things? Why am I wasting all my time during the last week? Honestly I am just too disorganized to try and plan anything spectacular. These last days, and I know I'm terrible, I have been at home packing or hanging out alone. I have been going out everyday with Simone, getting our last days in together. But I haven't really been making it my point to do everything for the last time. Why? Because there is too much! Tomorrow I might go to the beach with Noemi and Camila, then after the beach going to a the last New Harlen gig I'll see for a while, or for the last time. Friday I'm going to the beach with Simone and his friends then hopefully that night I'll have a little get together with all my friends to say goodbye. I also still need to go to my old house to get even more stuff I have to try and stuff in my luggage. We are really only allowed one carry on bag and one check in bag 20 kilos or lower...HAH! Sorry guys that's not going to happen. I guess the reason I'm not so frantic about spending all the days I have living the Italian life is because I am ready to go home, I've made peace with it. Plus from the looks of it I'll be coming back soon, so I'm not so worried. After one AFS returnee told me not to look at it like I'll never be coming back, because I will, really helped me feel better about leaving.
Well must continue packing!
To everyone at home, see you in 6 days!

AFS camp, 18 and exam results!
Well this weekend was very interesting, and tons of fun!
On Tuesday (14th) was our final day of exams. This day included all of the humanities and science classes we did this year. Pretty much we all went to school and waited to be interrogated all day. I was the first to be sacrificed for the humanities classes, since we were going alphabetically. It went horrible, I'll leave it at that. the other classes went absolutely fine apart from Italian and History. I had a nice discussion with my History of Art teacher about Italian hospitals and christian traditions. Then for my chemistry 2 class my teacher only asked me one interrogation question "how did you make your hair that color of purple?"; she was a weird teacher. So when the day was over I felt relived to have it all over with.
That Thursday I parted for an area in Abruzzo, for our last AFS orientation. It was really fun to see all the AFS kids after not seeing them for 7 months! It was so interesting to see how much we've all improved in our Italian, some people couldn't speak it at the last orientation and now they can speak it better than me!
Our orientation days went a little slow, but they seemed a bit easier to deal with this time. The food was amazing of course! I'm really going to miss eating so well everyday. But at night, everyone went insane. People were staying up until 6 in the morning, kids had to sleep in other kids rooms because their room was crowded (ex. me), it was a blast!!! One night after dinner, we were asked to go down to our meeting room, when we got down there, the entire room was dark except for all the candles the volunteers had placed. It was quite, and we all found our seats. The volunteers explained that there was one candle for each student, and each one of us had to think of our fondest memory during our 10 month stay, if it was positive we light a candle, and if it was negative we don't. That was one of the hardest things to do during the whole camp; many people cried. I told the story about the day I took the boys album cover picture, and how that day they buried themselves deep in my heart. Thats when i started to cry, I'm going to miss them so much, and at this point I can't even imagine that I am going back to a normal life without them.
So people all stood up, lit their candles, and told their stories. There were only two girls that didn't light their candles. After we were all done, they asked us to all lay down, and close our eyes. Another volunteer then read something we had to picture in our heads....packing our bags, going to the last orientation, getting on the plane, leaving, seeing our families again, seeing our rooms again....It was so hard to picture, the unrealistic aspect of leaving caused me to not even be able to close my eyes. I can't leave, it can't be over now, was this really just a year? Why can't I just stay until I'm sick of Italy! When will I come back? They closed the story with "now just reverse everything and open your eyes, you are still here, you still have your Italian families and Italian friends, you haven't left yet." Thank god for that...but still, the haunting remind that I will be back home in 15 days is still EATING ME ALIVE!!!
About a half hour after that entire sad fest, what time was it!? IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY!!! Literally the second it became midnight, Simone sent me a long text to tell me happy birthday, it was so sweet and made me so happy! It was also really funny because the boys I was hanging out with at the time saw the text and immediately stood up to make a birthday toast for me. It was completely stolen from the Hangover, but I loved it just the same. The next day we continued with all the games and orientation procedures. But at dinner time, they set up a Happy Birthday banner and had a cake sent out for desert. The greatest birthday present ever that day was definitely everyone singing happy birthday all in their native language at the same time! I almost cried it was so beautiful!
The next day we all hoped into the bus and drove back home, I actually couldn't wait to just hop right back into my life. All this talk about leaving made me really need to be back "home". I think thats the coolest part about going on trips here in Italy, when you are away you think "I want to go back home" but the home you are thinking of, isn't your original home, it's your Italian home.
And of course, what was waiting for me when I got home were our EXAM RESULTS! Everyone passed! I received 92 out of 120! Which means I get handed a wonderful Master of Art Diploma for me to take to my college applications. Now I definitely feel more confident about the next year. THANK YOU SO MUCH ITALY!!!

New host family and Exams!
Hey everybody! Ciao tutti!
Its been about a month since I've written and everything has changed. Because my host mom has recently had back surgery, she has had to rest a lot and take trips to the hospital frequently; so at the beginning of May I moved to a host family thinking it was only temporary. But when I went to my house last week to pick up a package that was delivered, my host mom told me it was best if I made the change permanent. I am really sorry to have to leave them, and I will definitely visit them a lot before I leave; but its for the best. The perks of the move have been this: upstairs all to myself, wifi (I have been stuck to the wall at the other house for 6 months), and ALL my friends finally being 10 minutes walking distance from my house; My social life thus has been far easier lately. My new host parents are pretty nice, the host dad (who is really old) loves to talk about EVERYTHING! He once gave me an hour long tour of all the artwork in his house, it was interesting but after a while it did get a little boring (sorry Tomaso). They seem really understanding of how I am, they leave me alone when I go to my room, and don't mind if I go out for lunch or dinner. So we will see how it all pans out; tomorrow I am planning on moving all my stuff over here. Consider it a practice run for July.
The second big thing that has been happening is EXAMS! For the next two weeks I will be taking finals exams! I am not really nervous, since the teachers have been really great and understanding that well...I dont speak their language. All of the art type classes are going to be a breeze, but with the Chemistry and History subjects I am going to have to stick my head in the book for a while. If I pass the exams I get my MASTER OF ART DIPLOMA! I am so excited! If I get that I have the feeling that my college and scholarship applications will play out a little bit better for me. THANK YOU ITALY!
Well that is all for now, I will write when I get my results! Wish me luck!!!
Grazie per leggere!

Simone!
Well its been about a month and my days are getting shorter and shorter. Now my biggest problem is having Simone in my life. He makes my days here go by so fast because every day I'm with him I have so much fun! And you know what they say about how time flies. He has been really great and understanding and even better is not at all naive about my life. I tell him everything, even things I know he doesn't want to hear. I really appreciate him and that he is here for me. My only regret is not meeting him sooner. ALLORA GRAZIE SIMONE! GRAZIE PER TUTTI!!! TI VOGLIO TANTO TANTO BENE AMORE!!! MI MANCHI E VORREI VEDERE TU DOMANI!!! <3
That was my brief update for today ladies and gentlemen :)
ciao!

My Italian Boys
On Monday, the day after Easter, I went to my friend Marco's house for a good ole cook out. It was super fun, but the best memory I could ever have of that day was this moment right here. Riccardo wanted coffee and started saying coffee or cafe' over and over and over again. Marco happened to be playing the guitar so Riccardo eventually started chanting along with the guitar. The other boys chimed in with some loud screams or random sounds. Then Marco stood up and said "We have to record this right now!" and this is what followed:

Venice, Florence, Siena, Pisa, Sicily, boyfriend OH MY!
I am truly sorry for the 2 month delay on this blog post. I know what you all were thinking: Sweet succulent sexy Jesus did she die! Well if any of you have a facebook and are my friend than I'm sure you are mostly updated. I'll try and make these last 2 months seem as amazing as I can whilst keeping this very brief.
So in the month of February I went to Venice with AFS, it was the first time I had ever been there and even with the non stop rain and cold weather, it still managed to capture my heart. So at this moment Venice is my favorite city, and I have made a goal to have a small apartment there someday.
Poi, in the first week of March my Aunt came to visit for week. We walked around Rome (of course I was really proud to show off the fact that I knew where EVERYTHING was), then on Saturday she came to visit my school for a bit, then in the evening we ate dinner with my host family. That monday we took the train to Florence where we stayed for 3 days. Florence was very beautiful and different (but still not my favorite); I got to visit the Uffizi, unfortunately the entire time I was there I had extreme back pains and had to search for somewhere to sit and stretch every 20 minutes. But I got to see so many important pieces, Giotto, Leonardo, Michael Angelo, Botticelli etc. IT WAS THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE!!!
We also took a day while we stayed in Florence to visit Siena, it was super cute.
From Florence we took the train to Venice!!! I was so happy to have been able to stay there for more than a day! Our hotel was right next to San Marco Piazza, and we spend most of the our time just getting lost in the maze of a city. It was so beautiful, and luckily for us it was sunny everyday. One night we went and listened to a concert, another we walked to the other end of the city then found out we had to walk back because the public boats were on strike (like always). I was definitely blessed to be able to have been there again, I do wish I had bought myself a mask though.
The last real day together we spent the night in Pisa. The most I can say about Pisa is that the only thing it really had going for it is the Tower. Although it was a very beautiful small town, it didn't leave much of an impression.
The next day we took a very long train back to Rome, had an interesting dinner and then said our goodbyes. It was great to have seen them but after a week with family I was kind of ready to return to my solitude.
Last week I went to Sicily for AFS's exchange week. I stayed in a host family's house in Enna. My host sister was really awesome and we shared so many similar interest so we bonded pretty quick. The first night I stayed there me and her went to a professional photography studio to watch her friend model; I got some great shots!!!
One day all of the AFS kids went to visit a Culinary Art School, we wandered around and watched them prepare our lunch, then at one point we became the judges for a students Cocktail exam...that was my favorite part :3
After some cocktails they returned to their posts and about 30 minutes later we ate lunch. They served each course very professionally and the food was very very delicious. I give them all an A+!!!
The next day we visited a school, so it wasn't very exciting. The day after that we spend the day in Catania! It was so nice and very beautiful; but definitely not as beautiful as the small town above it. Taormina, heaven on earth. If any of you are planning a vacation I suggest looking it up. It was warm and had a fantastic view of the ocean! AMAZING!!!
A day after another visit to a school we all went to Palermo. But honestly it wasn't as beautiful as Catania or Taormina. It was very nice and had a very under ground feel to it, but it definitely wasn't my favorite. The Cathedral however was quite beautiful!
Two days later I said goodbye to my host family for a week, which was really sad. My host sister was super cool and I'll definitely miss her. And that gets me thinking, if I was sad to leave a family I only spent 7 days with; HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO HANDLE LEAVING A FAMILY/PLACE I HAVE STAYED WITH FOR 10 MONTHS!!! I am really freaked out about that day but try hard not to dwell on it too often...
Anyways so as most of you are thinking; did I actually see boyfriend in the title? Yes my friends you did. His name is Simone, and he's the lead singer in Marco (my best friends) band New Harlen. (you can listen to their ORIGINAL songs on their myspace http://www.myspace.com/newharlen/music) Anyways, he's really cool and I like him a lot but my life is a little too complicated to like him a lot a lot, so for now he's just the person that will pay attention to me for the next 3 months. YEAH 3 FREAKING MONTHS! I KNOW RIGHT!!!
So I think you have mostly been brought up to date, again very sorry for my tardiness...I'm just really lazy. Honestly I can't even have a dairy, I'll write in it once then forget about it. So again very sorry.
Adesso io vado, per non fare niente ahahah. Comunque, alla prossima volta signore e signori!!! CIAO!!!

Christmas
Buon Natale! Auguri!
Sorry this post is so super dooper late, I procrastinated a LOT!
So this is my first Christmas away from home, it was sort of sad but also a Christmas I will never forget. It started off in the beginning of December, you know when the Christmas cheer is in bloom? When all the little children start craving the day when Santa sneaks down their chimney? Well that wasn't happening for me. I wasn't even excited! I don't know what was wrong with me! Usually I am at least happy its Christmas and jolly and merry about the joy spreading around. But this year no joy seemed to be spreading around. Because in Italy it seems that they are less commercial about Christmas, so there were less decorations in early December and almost NO CHRISTMAS MUSIC! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! But yes, school was just getting back to "normal" and I had other things on my mind. So about a week before Christmas, I STILL wasn't feeling any excitement what so ever, just anxiety about getting everyone gifts! Then suddenly, I woke up one morning and its was Christmas Eve!!! How did that happen! Christmas was like a ninja this year! I was so confused, and still sad that I didn't feel any of the Christmas joy I was suppose to. The biggest surprise was when the family came over for Christmas Eve dinner, the little kids ran to the tree and started opening there presents! I stood there so confused for so long thinking "is anyone going to tell them to wait for tomorrow?" Then I realized, in Italy they open their presents on Christmas eve! Now I was really feeling like I was missing something, like the night before Christmas day where I lie awake wondering what wonderful things were waiting for me to open! I didn't even get a chance to do that! So I opened my presents with the family.
After everyone opened presents we sat down for dinner. On Christmas Eve most Italians practice the tradition of not eating any meat, so we had pasta (of course) with fish and other things. Although for lunch my host sister and I cheated and she had sausages and I ate the rest of my Texas chili I got in the mail :D. We sat around the dinner table and talked for a while, the kids played with their toys and I showed my host family my town's newspaper.
When we were all done we walked over to the neighbors/the aunts house for some more drinks and games. The other half of the family was there. We all sat around for a couple hours and played bingo together (an Italian Christmas tradition), it was lots of fun!!!
The next day was Christmas, and surprisingly less fun. We ate lunch, with meat, then hung out for a while. In the afternoon we went to the grandparents house in Ciampino for Christmas dinner. When we arrived my host sister and I went out with our friends Daniele and Gianlucca for a couple hours. When we came back it was dinner time! What a feast! I've never eaten so much meat at once before! I actually think there was no pasta at the table, just meat and green peas! We stayed around for a bit, then after things got a little slow we went home.
Even though Christmas wasnt as eventful as my past ones, Christmas eve was definitely a time to remember! I will always treasure the Christmas I spent here in Italy, now I hope my host family can come to Taos one Christmas and see how we do it. I know they would enjoy the annual bonfires at the Pueblo.
Until next time!
