I woke up around 1 again. It's becoming a normal winter break routine because I go to bed so late. I had lunch right away and then I watched tv for awhile. Around 4, I started to get ready to go to Emily's. At 6:30, we left the house, picked up Janie, and drove to Matelica. When we got to Emily's, we all talked until dinner was ready. For New Year's Eve, people eat a big dinner. There was appetizers, pasta, meat, lentils, and then dessert. During dinner, I talked a lot with Emily's uncle who has been to Reno and around the west coast.
After dinner, we got ready for the New Years party we were going to. At 11, we left the house and Emily's uncle drove us to Fabriano to the stadium where the party was being held. We weren't allowed to enter until 10 minutes before midnight so we sat on the steps for 20 minutes. At least we were allowed to wait inside.
When we got in, we stood around until the countdown. Nobody had really shown up yet. When it finally reached midnight, everybody kissed each other on the cheeks because I guess that's just what they do here. Then we sat down for a while to wait for more people to show up. Around 1, we all got up and danced for a really long time. Every once in a while, we would go sit down and say hi to more friends and then get up to dance again.
Around 4:30, Emily and Janie's feet hurt because they wore heels (while I was wearing flats), so we called it a night and Roberto came to pick us up. Emily spent the "morning" at my house and we went straight to bed. I still wasn't super tired though.
