So I have been here for just over a week now. I am still home sick =( which stinks! I get sad at night just because I cant say goodnight to my parents and see my friends and my boyfriend. But, Florence is starting to grow on me. Once my homesickness is gone I'm sure i will appreciate the city much more. I haven't really been skyping that many people from home, which bums me out. But, I will get through it. I am sure May 8th will come faster than I expect.
In the past week, we managed to find a McDonalds! It was perfect for our minor hangovers last Sunday, haha. The quality of food there is wayyyy better than any McDonalds in the states. We have found our favorite bar- its called Joshua Tree Pub. Its an Irish Pub that is about 4 blocks from our apartment. We are regulars there now, the bartenders and owners love us! It's weird to get served at the bar without being carded or needing a fake ID. haha. And just when I thought terrible hangovers never happened in Florence, last night happened. Haha. I know better than to mix a bunch of different kinds of alcohol, but last night I must have forgotten about what a hangover from 5 different kinds of alcohol feels like. But, I will know better for next time!
We are going to Pisa and Lucca tomorrow for a day trip. I am sooo excited to see the leaning tower and take the typical tourist picture of me trying to hold it up. hah. I know, realistically, I wont be able to travel too much while I am here.. but I definitely want to make it to Amsterdam, maybe Ireland, Greece, and of course Rome, Venice, and maybe even Sicily!
My first week of classes wasnt too bad. I have four classes on Monday and Wednesday from 9-530pm which stinks, but Tuesday I dont start til 230pm and Thursday at 10:45am. So i do get a few days to sleep in a little.
Well, I wish I could type all night. But I'm off to hopefully watch some of my tv shows online and then call it a night.
Buonanotte tutti,
Jenn <3
