why hello again!

Why hello! It is one am my time, but i just wanted to say a quick hello, and let everyone know i am alive, although i dont know how after this week. So, here's the deal... i came home from venice, and started studying immediately for midterms. AHHHHHH! basically my city of rome class took over my life the entire week. the test was IMPOSSIBLE! i had to memorize the entire map of rome, the city from ancient times to early renaissance, all the popes, and much much more. but i am happy it is over! and the day that test was over, thursday, i had to cram for my italian midterm. and then my computer pretty much caught on fire and i had to track down an apple store to buy a new charger. so yes, here i am now! but  i am happy it is the weekend! 

Tomorrow is women's appreciation day in Europe, so if all goes the way it is planned, all museums in rome should be free for women! which is soooo exciting, because they literally charge ten euros to get into those museums!

one more week until spring break! and i am so excited! oh, by the way, this is stanley, the fill in dog until i see my cute little dust again! i miss dusty so much. he is too cute for words. and he is so snuggly and happy to chase squirrels, which btw they do not have here in any shape or form, just sick looking cats! DDDDDUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
