Great Beginning to Winter Break


Saturday and Sunday

On Saturday, nothing happened for the first hour of class.  The Italian teacher talked a little bit and then the whole class walked to the church theater that happened to be right across from my house for an assembly/diploma thing.  Some guest speakers spoke for a while, while I tried not to fall asleep, and then diplomas were handed out to last year’s graduates.  School ended at 11:45 and I walked across the street to go home but my host parents were in the country house so I was locked out.  I ended up walking to the market in the center with my friends for about 45 minutes. 

After I got home and had lunch, I got ready to go to Emily’s house.  I got to her house in Matelica around 4 and we walked around town for a while.  Then we returned at home and picked out the clothes we were going to wear to the disco.  Dinner got there at 7:30 and we ate pizza, of course!  Both of us were really tired so we took a 30 minute nap after dinner and then got ready to go. 

We left the house around 11:15 and went to meet up with Janie, her host sister, and her friends at the bar.  We all talked for a little bit and then we made our way to the disco a little after midnight.  We ended up staying until around 4:30 in the morning and then we walked home and went straight to bed.

At 9 this morning, Emily’s mom came into her room and told her that her cat had just fallen of the terrace into the garden below so she jumped out of bed and put her shoes on and I followed.  We ran downstairs and Emily jumped a fence to go and get her cat.  He had blood running out of his nose and one of his eyes, but fortunately, he didn’t break anything.  We ran back upstairs and Emily got a hold of a vet because the cat was having trouble breathing with the blood.  It was a very frantic and scary morning.

Emily and her mom took the cat to the vet and I went back to sleep until 11:45.  Emily had gone back to sleep as well when she got back from the vet.  We had breakfast and then got ready to go to her sister’s house in Esanatoglia for lunch.  Her sister is an amazing cook and we had delicious food but I wasn’t able to finish it all because I got full really fast.  Probably because we had breakfast shortly before then. 

After lunch, we went to Emily’s country house to get her dog.  We also fed her other dog and her 15 or so cats that roam around there.  It was really beautiful up there.  Then we went to a motocross track.  It was really cool!  I met a couple of Emily’s friends and then we went to another beautiful park.  We drove back to the city and walked around there for a while before returning home.  We relaxed around her sister’s house until Roberto came to pick me up at 7.

I almost fell asleep on the car ride home I was so tired.  Good thing its winter break and I don’t have to get up early anymore!  These next to weeks are going to be so nice…

Buonanotte!
