So yeah, I know, I haven't written in a long time... it's ok, I'm still alive, however, I felt that forcing myself to write all this was taking a bit away from me experiencing it and no one wants that... well maybe my mom (just kidding).
So I have made some new friends (thanks to the awesome new facebook group that I never used and now only use when someone tells me to...) and some of my friends have departed Roma deciding that one year was a long time and the work was not what they expected or the families were not who they expected them to be. I'm lucky, I've got it easy, and I love it all... I'll be sticking it out... (sorry Dad ;).
I've been having lots of fun visiting other cities... saw Napoli when I went there for an interview for a Naval Scholarship, actually the city was Aversa, but I saw Napoli first... I made some friends in Napoli who showed me around and introduced me to their city (very friendly). We talked, ate, danced and watched movies and stuff... cool people. I went to the Royal Palace in Caserta which has a huge/beautiful park, a-freakin'-mazing!
Next week I have the week off and I'm planning on see other cities in the south... Bari and Lecche, just to name a couple, then I'm heading up to Venezia for Carnevale... I'm not sure what to bring... but I'm excited. I'm going with a bunch of girls I haven't talked to in a while because my class schedule changed but I'm sure we'll all have fun... I just don't want to be stuck playing protective male friend the whole time... that would be lame. You know how it goes...
Well I did do some videos in my "absence" and was going to meld them all together into one cool videoblog with music in the background and fancy-schmanzy stuff, but my computer's memory is running low and I couldn't use the right file types... all in all, too much effort, so you get the lame, raw product. Deal with it.
Thanks to you guys who have been sticking with me and checking my blog for updates... don't expect too many... but I will be here once in a while. :) Peace, love, rock & roll!
