Here!

Viva Italia! I just found out I passed my heinous pre-term class as well! It's about 5:00 here, and about 11:00 am back on the East coast. My flights were flawless... save for my movie screen not working on the long flight and my carry-on busting its zipper. All that is forgotten when everything was on time, the weather is beautiful, the flights were safe and smooth, my luggage decided to also go to Bologna, and I have a lovely hotel room to rest my head in for the next few nights until I get an apartment with the girls from my Econ class.
I need to get out and explore a bit but I fear it will be short since I have not slept in approx. 30 hours. I will try to upload a photo soon. Fear not, I sipped a Guiness in the Dublin airport w' some classmates. 7am or not (ok it was 2am your time) I was going to have a draught! Brilliant!

I've been robbed!

Perhaps not, but when I got home on Sunday evening, everything was gone! My couch is now living temporarily with the Zucker family. The rest of my possessions are a little confused. They are back in my parents' house, but next door to the bedroom they made my own for many years. My whole life fits into a small spare room and you can still move around.

Saturday, I learned about gratitude when my parents and Brian gave up their whole day to move all that is mine. I rewarded them with a little help from the Colonel. Dad and Glen L. provided the after dinner libations.

So now I am sleeping on an air mattress with the wrong size sheets (I use the flat one as the bottom and the fitted one on top because it is too small!) Getting it inflated was fun... especially when your dad equips you with a malfunctioning pump that doesn't even fit the mattress valve. Good thing Brian is full of... well you know where I'm going with that. Giggle. The living room has pillows to sit on and a TV on the floor. It looks like hippies took up residence.

Vinnie was pretty ticked off at me but Friskies saved the day with delicious beef and liver pate.

Other than that, Pre Term, aside from having taken over my life and free time, is going very well and in a week I will be finished with my final! Cheers!
