Italy and life's other adventures

This started off as my blog to write about my study abroad experience in Italy... but now that Im back in the states I use it to write my random insightful thoughts... ok more random than insightful :)

proof


Hi,
well my vacation is over. Sad. So i can finally spend more than a week in M-town, whether thats a good thing or not-still deciding. I mean its great to be back with the fam and friends for a bit, but Ive decided i hate growing up. too many responsibilites. I liked it frosh and soph year of college, cuz you're an adult, but you dont have to think about growing up yet. Now Im going to be a senior in college and the freaking out has officially started. But i dont really want to go into all of that yet. So onto the vacation!
As i wrote Monday we went to the SPAM museum, which the picture (i hope i can get it on here) is of me by the many cases of SPAM. Be jealous! I was surrounded by cans of regular SPAM, SPAM light, SPAM with garlic, SPAM with bacon, SPAM with cheese, hot and spicey SPAM, hickory smoked SPAM, and the Monty Python collectors edition can of SPAM. I think theres a reduced sodium can of SPAM, but dont quote me on that. The other highlights from the week include antique shopping, meeting and hanging out with family i havent seen in years (i think i met more 2nd cousins and removed cousins than i ever have), and ate ice cream by a lake (fun, but its hard to impress me with stuff like that since Ive been to italy). The last day in MN i went to a wedding of my mom's cousin. the chapel the wedding took place in was under construction and didnt have AC, i felt like i was back in Italy! :) the reception was at the Minnesota Zoo, which was pretty cool actually. I got to see a live armadillo-one of my favorite animals even though im not sure ive ever seen one. It kept pacing back and forth and actually reminded me of my sisters dog-Freya. Oh and Ive become a huge Dan Brown fan, I read the DaVinci code in italy, then Angels and Demons on the way to MN, the copy i have is about 700+ pages. it only took me two days to read it. about 4-5 hours on the way there and then i had a really hard time putting it down. I loved it! it probably helped it took place in Rome, one of the places i went to in Italy, which was pretty sweet, being able to read a book and actually be able to picture most of it. Now Im reading Deception point, which is really good, but not as good as the first two of his i read. Im not sure im going to read the first one her wrote, unless i hear really good things about it. well i guess Im starting to ramble. the rest of vacation is going to be unpacking and packing again, cleaning, getting stuff ready for senior year! (YIKES!!!)
