2 days left!

And boy, I am not ready to leave! Not so much because of how awesome it is here, which it is, but because of the crap that I dont want to come home to. Namely to the Pool that I work at which has been in a constant spiral of degeneration since Kathy left. My mom has informed me that one of the 2 incompetent managers has quit, and that the rumor is that the other one is going to walk right before the biggest event of the summer. Not something I want to hear. Ugh. Then she got angry at me for getting upset, but what am I supposed to do? Back flips of joy? Honestly..... but I dont want to think of that anymore. I am still here and I still have things to do!

Hiking in Cinque Terre tomorrow for one. SO Terribly excited for that. You have no idea! I also have no more Italiano Classes..... had our 'final' today.... which wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be. Then there is more hiking on Friday morning around the island next to our classroom.... ah! The life for me is here!

But fear not, Europe has me not in her snares, as she has some of my fellows classmates. Though I love it, I miss my things and my life and my peoples (friends/family/boyfriend) and so I shall return; both home and to Italy in the future at some point. Hopefully with some of the afore mentioned people. :)

See you all in a few days! Hopefully those rumors of another strike on Saturday are false.... we'll see! :D

Millions Strike in Italy.

Better info here and here.

Basically, all planes, trains and automobiles are not running today and there is no where for me to go. Not to mention that any big, or chain-like business (the COOP an our grocery stores) are all closed.

Firstly, let me just says how awesome it is to be in this country while this 24hr strike occurs. There is no better way to experience a countries political system than when they exorcise protests.

But it SUCKS! We were supposed to go hiking today in Cinque Terre, and I was hoping to go sunglass shopping (I broke mine the other day; way to go Rae!) So I am stuck in my apartment more or less, with nothing much today but work on my report which is fine the way it is. Not to mention that everyone I hang with here is taking a nap or trying to buy train tickets. No one wants to go walking around for shits-and-giggles or anything! It is SO frustrating! I am getting really frustrated! It's ridiculous!

What else is ridiculous? That fact that I am breaking everything I own over here. It's terrible. Camera, Ipod (miraculously works again! I dunno!) sunglasses, not to mention the chocolate stains on my white skirt form Rome; and my lappy's been acting up with funny junk. Yet, I still have a great attitude about it all. I know I sound pessimistic and junk right now, but it's only because I am bored. Bored out of my f-ing ind!

The Fancy Drink Place

Last night was a Japanese Ice tea. Tonight was a Paradise and an Italian Tea. Good times all around.
