finally got my blog to work after a few technical difficulties. anyways, where to start? the past few weeks have been quite busy with midterms, a week in southern italy and a weekend in london. in southern italy we visited naples, pompeii, amalfi, cuma, paestum, a few museums, and my absolute favorite, capri. naples was the youngstown of italy if you will, so yeah it was basically a craphole filled with a bunch of creeps. it was just one big trash receptacle. not much else to say. our "hydrofoil" to capri caused numerous issues involving seasickness among the group which was just ever so pleasant! but it was well worth it because it was by far the most beautiful place i've ever seen. i even stepped above my fear of heights and took the chairlift to anacapri where the views were absolutely breathtaking (i figured if jackie o could survive it, so could i!) upon our return in home sweet rome, room 405 became filled with holiday spirit as november 1st begins the christmas season for us. christmas music, elf, and christmas vacation are the only things to get us through the stress of midterms!
this weekend we flew to london for the weekend. we, against my complaints, stayed in a hostel. i knew i'd hate it. it was in an awesome area, the best shopping was just a few blocks away. but i am not too peachy keen on sharing a room with 4 foreign men and a south african cat dog. accommodations aside, i loved london. it was fabulous to be speaking english again and get a break from the constant harassment of italian men. the weather was really chilly, but i couldn't complain considering it's been almost 70 still in rome and that doesn't encourage holiday spirit! not much of a harry pothead fan, but we found platform 9 3/4 which was pretty neato. probably the highlight of the weekend (aside from holiday starbucks!) was getting to see wicked which absolutely knocked my socks off.
