amy eats ITALY!: October 2009

last week I was still sick, all i wanted to do was get breakage plans done, start college app, and go back to normal. the weather here has taken a drastic turn, in a matter of three days it went from sunny california to rainy to new york bone chilling cold.

I cannot believe its already been a month here, it doesn't even feel like it. I'm finding it hard to really engage myself into all that I'm seeing, everywhere I go its just awestruck amy.   Time to kick up the application art side of this world. Maybe, this is related to being sick, but all I've been feeling is drained this past week. I feel overwhelmed with all the museum art information, my mind boggles at WTF the artist was thinking...why didn't they friggen write some sort of hint... im starting to sound liek this art is making me insane...which is quite the opposite. its more like i have no idea what to think, where to start. but im slowly understanding it. Also, I really do enjoy the time i do have totally physically being alone. It gives me time to really think clearly. i think im turning introvertish...

I glad im starting to get to know people better on this trip. Funny, how people are finally revealing pieces of themself, I digs it. But at the same time i don't quite know how people are taking me. At the same time its always kinda been that way, no one person seems to understand every aspect of me. That's probably why i have more than one friend. Being away, hasn't changed me much at all, my core values are still in line, and I couldn't be happier with that. I don't feel drained any more, the beginning of confusion and emptiness was quickly filled. More so comforted.

On Friday, we (by we i meens the whole groupo) went to Siena.   I really enjoyed it. Getting out of florence is always a plus. Siena is less touristy and chaotic. Looking at the duomo there was loaded and endless art. But, the highlight, was seeing Saint Catherines real Head, and finger. Rellics are my new fasination.
SatERday, was the euro chocolate festival. Honestly i was a bit disappointed. i guess it didnt messure up to my own chocolate dreamland....but then again what would....there was no chocolate charlie in the chocolate factory lake. But, plenty of other assortments of mouth gasm goodies. That day was a whole neither level of sweetness, but felt liek i was growing a cavity by the end of the super long cold day. But, i did enjoy my eye candy, a beautiful italian man with a appealing jawline note: chocolate beer is a no no....fitting 70+ ppl in a bus was asian or mexican status?

Breakage plans: Milan> Barcelona>Brussels>Paris>Amsterdam> back to Florence
