Was going to have to use that title eventually...
Hello again friends!!! My papers are officially DONE which means a) spring break is here and I’m seeing the lovely Keren Shpigel TOMORROW and b) you all have the lovely privilege of reading about my la dolce vita. But seriously, I’m really living the sweet life. I had midterms that week, but I’ve learned when you’re abroad that pretty much doesn’t mean anything and I think I studied for a total of maybe 2 hours for each test…abroad college is great. Here's a brief(ish) run down of the week before my family got here and hopefully I'll post about their visit in a little bit. Tomorrow morning (literally morning as in 5 AM) I leave for spring break which includes Barcelona, PARIS!!!!!!!!! (AHHHHHH), Prague, and then I am turning 21 in Berlin. Never in my life did I think I'd be spending my 21st in Berlin, but hey, I'll take it.
Monday afternoon I went with Miriam and Negrin to a park near Piazza Independenza and we, and by we I mean Negrin and I, kicked a soccer ball. Keep in mind I was wearing a leather jacket and boots…great soccer playing outfit. I even headed the ball…I’m gonna be the next Mia Hamm. That night we had a lovely dinner with Stacey and Joanna and their friend from home and I had my first Italian garlic bread. It was extra garlic-y and delicious. The next day Miriam and I went to apperitivo after class and felt really grown up having our pre dinner drinks. After we went to dinner with some girls on our program from UMD, and it was great to just have a night talking about UMD and catching up. The next day AIFS organized a pizza making class and OH MY GD…seriously some of the best pizza I’ve had…and I made it. I put peppers on my pizza which was very exciting because they NEVER have peppers here. Afterwards we went to Joshua Tree, where Negrin and Doug DJed for the night. Thursday I literally cannot remember what I did so it must not have been that exciting. Friday I sat around and did some work on my papers and then went to Chabad with Negrin. Later that night I met up with Jess and her roommates and we had an awesome night at the club Full Up…complete with a bongo player accompanying the DJ. Jess’s roomates’ friend from home was visiting that night from Rome and he was too funny. He constantly spoke Italian and said Santa Croce strangely and then proceeded to call the Duomo the Dwarma. Jess and I also randomly ran into a girl from our high school that night about 5 different times, and by 5 I mean twice, but still, random. We finished the night at the Secret Bakery with delicious fresh baked pastries!! The next day I was supposed to do work but I pretty much spent the day in bed waiting for my family to get here!
