Never Ending Snow

The first two hours of class were italian and then chemistry and I read through both of them.  Then we had two hours of gym so while people were getting on the bus, I went with Emily to the secretary's office because she had to get something signed for leaving school early.  We ended up holding up the bus for about 20 minutes.  When we finally got to the gym, we changed and then the teacher talked with our class about behavior or something like that for 30 minutes or more.  Everybody was really cold, so some of the guys started playing soccer and I just shivered on a bench until the teacher started having the rest of us do these flip things off of a spring board onto a big cushion mat thing.  It was rather dangerous if you ask me.  I was also hit in the head with a volleyball today...  The last class of the day was art and while we were in the computer lab, I read my book.

After lunch, I stayed in Giulia's room for an hour and then took a shower and got ready for my Saturday night, which consisted of bundling up because it was cold outside!  It had been snowing since I had gym class and it continued to snow until around 6.  I'd say there was about half a foot.  It took a little effort to get the car out of the drive way because of the snow.  Filippo drove Giulia and I to Angela's house and we stayed there for a little bit.  Then we went to the center and sat at a bar for an hour of so.  We had to walk from Angela's house to the center.  It's not that far, but it had started raining after the snow stopped and the ground was a huge slushy, icy mess.  I don't have any snow shoes so I had my regular shoes on and it was impossible to keep them dry.  They were pretty much soaked through by the time we got to the bar, but luckily my feet didn't hurt.  Maybe they were so cold that I couldn't feel them at all.

I was supposed to meet up with my friends, but the snow was so bad that some of them couldn't go out and others hadn't arrived yet so I went back to Angela's with Giulia and her friends for dinner.  We stayed there and hung out until 11 and then we walked back to the center.  I had to put my soaked shoes back on my warm, dry feet, but again, they didn't get as cold as I thought they would.  We went to the pub and I saw some of my friends, but they had to leave right away because we got there so late so I stayed with Giulia and her friends until 12:30 when Filippo picked me up.

I have to say, it's nice to be in a nice warm bed right now.  After I finish my writing, I might do some reading and then go to sleep.  I love Saturday nights...

Buonanotte!
