Only 2 weeks left...


So my time in Italy has come to the winding down point - only 2 weeks from tomorrow, the program ends and I will be going to other European countries then coming back to Italy only for a day to fly home. So I've decided I'm gonna make the most of these two weeks and just go crazy and do everything and anything I want. It's been amazing so far, and it'll continue to be I'm sure. It's gonna be hard to leave! Some people went to Batman last night but I didn't feel like bothering. It seemed like it would be overly crowded, and gelato was a better option for me anyway :-) I stayed in, watched some TV with Gloria from across the Atlantic.... haha. Fun times, because Karen never fails to make both of us laugh. Tonight I might go out with Kacie and a bunch of people to town... but alas, the homework never ends, so I might have to stay in again. I just want to ensure that I get good marks while here; it would be downright shameful to have gotten an A in physics II and a B in a summer language course. So I will not!

So far, this has been a lazy week at the villa. I haven't gone out at night that much this week even though I could have, mostly because I've been a little tired and had a lot of homework. Still haven't done those secondaries. I keep trying, but lose patience, I don't know. Classes are going well, I did extremely OK on my Italian midterm so that is good. Keeping the English to a minimum is fun :-) Well, really there is not much to tell. Not much happened since Sunday when I last wrote. I saw some cousins from Israel who were in Florence for a day, that was nice. And I finally got to see the Jewish synagogue in Florence, though I forgot to bring my camera so I'll be sure to go back at some point. When I go to Rome on Aug 8, it's a Friday and I'll be alone. So I definitely plan on going to a shabbat service over there. It'll be fun and really interesting, I'm sure. Something big might happen soon....but I do not know! Keep readin' I plan to go to Pisa sometime this weekend (the place where the leaning tower is. yes, the leaning tower of Pisa is in Pisa, mom - not Rome).
