the sun is out!

the sun has returned. well, actually it was around all weekend, we just kept having random downpours. well, in siena teh sun was certainly not out. in fact, saturday in siena was clod, wet and kind of miserable, but i really liked the town and hope to go back before i go home.

i biked to the sea on wednesday... that was amazing and beautiful, also discovered Camp Darby, teh us militray base in pisa, also exciting, saw like 15 deer inside its fences as i biked by, almost crashed into teh fence staring at them, therefore proabbly almost getting snipered. but oh well.

my dad and i talked for over an hour on saturday night, that was joyous. i learned all about postal-package delivery competition in italy. and then we bonded over skiing. and then i explained the chemistry of the group of kids i am here with, and how i really like not being with everyone cause they it is just too obnoxious, and he told me it was good to have lots of thinking time and theres nothing wrong with coming home in teh evenings and just relaxing everynight. it made me happy.

on friday night kenny and i went and saw Manuale d'Amore, it was nice and funny, i suppose perhaps a romantic comedy, kind of loveactuallyish. it was long, it got out at like 12:30 and i got home at 1:00 and i had to be up at 7:00, and while six hours of sleep was once a miracle for me, it just doesnt hold anymore with my usual 9 or so.

wow, i really just am so done with this group of people... i am so very happy i have decided to be content with going solo from now on. also, i forgot to get my o-aide app in. which, is kind of sad, but i suppose not the end of the world. i mean, i can attempt to get to know teh new children without being there o-week, thats not entirely unheard of, right? and it isnt liek i wont be there, i just wont be particpating. or have responsibility. wait, this is good.

summer job. blah. i dont want to make this decsion whiel in italy because sclearly i miss heom a lot and doing art camp and then mowing and what not, so i can be home for a few weeks sounds just perfect, but who knows how i will feel about that later. hmm, i still ahve to wait to hear about the chicago jobs anyway. it sounds liek i will be alone in our apartment with my brother in massachusetts at mit and candace in washington dc. hmph, and little ol me in chicago.

i suppose it is time to write some emails
