There was an assembly today for carnival, which is a european holiday, and it started at 8:30, so I was able to sleep in an extra 30 minutes. For the assembly, every class had to make a video or do a skit/slash dance. So until 12:30, I watched every class present what they had. Some of them were pretty good and others weren't. It was kind of boring.
Then Nadia and Giulia picked me up from the stadium where the assembly was held and we went home for lunch. After lunch, Giulia and I got ready and we went to the library at 3. Giulia studied and I listened to music and tried to read an Italian book. I got through 2 pages before quitting... At 5, I met Janie in the center and we went shopping.
Around 7, we walked back to Janie's and I feel asleep for 20 minutes while she was on the computer. Then I had to walk back to the center at 7:30 because Giulia was picking me up. We went to a store right before it closed so that she could get a little purse and then we went home for dinner. After dinner, Giulia showered, I showered, Giulia's friends showed up, and then we all get ready to go to the club for carnival. We left the house 30 minutes later than we were planning and I was taken to my friend's house at 12 so that I could drop off my overnight bag.
We walked to the bar and met up with Giulia and her friends again and then we all walked to the club around 1. There were so many people there because of carnival and it was hard to get around. Carnival is kind of like halloween. Everybody dresses up, so there were a lot of cool costumes and face paintings there. I didn't dress up. We all danced until 4 and then Emily and I walked home and went straight to bed. I passed out the moment I hit the bed!
Wednesday:
My friend, Emily, woke up around 11 this morning and told me she was going to have breakfast and I could join her whenever. I ended up falling asleep and she woke me up again at 12:30 to tell me that lunch was almost ready. I went and talked with her in the kitchen and when her dad came home, we ate. A movie was playing while we were eating lunch so when we were done, we went back to Emily's room to watch the rest of it. I fell asleep within 10 minutes of laying in bed and I woke up when it was over. Then Emily said we could take a nap so I slept until 3:45 when I had to get ready because Filippo was picking me up at 4.
When I got home, I purchased my round-trip plane ticket to go to Belgium!!! I am so excited that my trip is official now! Then I met Giulia at the library at 6 and we went to the pub around 6:30. At 7:30, Filippo picked me up and we went to my Rotary counselor's house so that I could pick up my passport. Then we went to the police station to figure out when I can come in to extend my visa. We have to go in tomorrow morning, so I will miss my first couple of classes. Hopefully I will be able to extend it or I will be coming home early.
We came home for dinner and then I skyped with Emma to tell her about my trip news. I've stopped caring about how late I go to bed now. It's 1 now and I'll probably be up another hour.
Ciao!
