Started writing papers and cleaning today, fells good to be caught up on the dishes and laundry.

Last night was crazy too, we got together at the gates. But before that Emily and Willy and Hsuan-Hsuan all came over and we tried to finish the five liter jug of wine. It's purchase at a local winery felt like a great idea until carrying it a kilometer home...

We waited at the city gates, Paolo was there with some of our friends. Flip cup was attempted and failed on a railing leading down under the road. After some time we ended up at Farber Café, one of our favorite bars. We have gotten to be decent friends with the owner, him being one of the few English speakers in the city. The good deals on drinks are also a plus. We got a solid game of flip cup going, Italians aren't much for drinking games, they handle drinking in a slightly more mature way, but we did end up getting Fabio, the owner, and a few others to play a round or two.

Things around here are starting to fall into place. Starting to build up a great group of friends. There is someone always to go out with and on the in days, to study with. Home here is beginning to take form. Also, after two and a half months I figured out how to grocery shop. Started eating vegetables, fruit, and whole grain pasta and bread. I love tomatoes now, especially with mozzarella cheese and salt. Started drawing and writing again, that, along with running and working out, is opening up the box of life here. Life is starting to get good right before the end, the programs finishes up in two weeks..

This weekend was to catch up and breath. Am still really behind with papers and everything, but feeling much better about the situation. Talked with Carly too, we don't want to kill each other anymore, and instead of doing homework we photoshopped for the rest of the day.
