New Friends

I don't know why now, but things are just getting better and better for me.  I am making new friends, having fun, talking in Italian (pretty badly).... and losing sleep, but that's not important.  

Getting up this morning was a nightmare.  I went to bed at 2:30 last night and I woke up with a slight headache.  I always set my alarm on my phone for 6:30 so that I can press snooze ten times until 7:30 because each snooze is five minutes.  My phone buzzes constantly until I press the snooze button and the weirdest thing has been happening to me for the past couple of days.  My phone buzzes the first time and I press the button and hold my phone in my hand while I fall back asleep.  Then it will buzz again and I'm usually half conscious if even that much and while it's buzzing, I start dreaming that people are texting me and I can see what the messages say and then I will actually wake up and check my inbox and there's obviously no new messages.  It's so confusing!  I finally realize that I'm dreaming and I press the snooze button again.  This happens almost every time I have to re-press snooze. Very annoying.

The first hour of class was chemistry and we had a test.  He gave me the piece of paper and told me to write anything I wanted that has to relate to chemistry.  He had told me in the beginning of the week to write something on methanol so I already had that prepared today.  I asked him if I could just give him that and he said I could copy it down on the paper and I could be done, so it was simple.  Then we had biology and I started working on my Italian homework, which was given to me by the actual Italian teacher of my class, and I have to write about a page and a half about the negative aspects of Italians.  What kind of assignment is that?! Why not positive aspects? I don't want to have an Italian read everything I think is bad about them. Ugh, I wrote it the best I could and it took me the rest of the day because I wrote it in English and was almost finished writing it in Italian when school ended.  I ended up writing about how the driving is crazy, everybody smokes, drinking, and so on, but a lot of the things I wrote are true for everybody around the world so I made sure to state that too.  I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.  The last time I wrote something for him, he read it out loud to the whole class so I REALLY hope he doesn't do the same this time.  I 'm going to specifically ask him not to.

Nadia and Giulia picked me up from school today and we went to the commercial center and got pizza for lunch.  Then we shopped around for a while and went home so that Giulia could get her book back.  Then Giulia and I went to the library around 4 so that she could study and I was waiting for my friend to go out so that I could meet up with him.  I finished my Italian translation and read my Italian book until my friend showed up around 5.  

We walked to the center and then to the place where the city buses stop.  We waited there for a while and then we took the bus to a gym to watch a volleyball game.  A couple of his friends showed up and we talked for a while and then his brother picked us up and we went to the pub.  I met another one of his friends there and we all talked, them in English, me in Italian.  Then Giulia and her friends got there a little later.  Around 8, Giulia and I went home for dinner, I looked through a magazine with Giulia, and then I went to my room to start my normal routine of writing, listening to music and doing things on the computer.  

I think I will probably get to bed before 2 tonight... I hope!

Buonanotte!
