I woke up with a minor headache this morning, but I was lucky and it went away within a couple minutes of getting ready. The first hour of class was supposed to be informatics, but we had a class assembly instead. I sort of zoned out for that hour. It wasn't anything important. Then we had art and went to the computer lab. I talked with my friends. After break, the last 3 hours of school were Italian because we had a test. He gave the other students their topic for writing and then he told me to come and sit by him. My writing topic was the positive aspects of italian school and the differences between italian and american schools. There are really no similarities except the fact that it's where you go to learn. I finished it about 15 minutes early, but I didn't turn it in until the last couple of minutes because I didn't want the teacher to read it in front of me.
(I will put the italian and american school differences in one of my next blogs because I'm tired right now and don't feel like doing it)
Filippo picked me up from school and we went to the commercial center to get pizza because Nadia had gone to her mom's house today. When we got home, I went to my room to get ready for lessons and I was planning on leaving at 2:30 to walk to the school because it was a very beautiful day and the sun was shining. About 5 minutes before I was about to walk out the door, it was a windy and rainy mess outside. It lasted about 10 minutes and then it was sunny again. It was too late for me to walk so I got a ride from Filippo at 3.
Lessons were nice and short and afterwards, Janie and I walked around the gardens for about 20 minutes and then we both went separate ways to go home because she had homework to do so we couldn't hang out. I had a really nice walk on the way home because it was nice, but cold and refreshing weather, and I got to listen to my ipod.
I got home at around 5 and hung out in my room because Filippo was in his office and Nadia wasn't home yet. I really wanted to go out today, but none of my friends were so I was stuck at home. I was even grateful for my Italian lessons so that I could at least get out of the house and get some exercise. At 7, I reminded Nadia that I needed to buy a new camera because I broke my other one about a month ago :( and we're going to Venice on Saturday. She called Filippo (because he had gone out) and he came home to pick me up. We went to an electronics store nearby and I bought one within 15 minutes. I had my first "buying something important" experience in another language haha. I understood 95% of what the guy was saying about all of the cameras which is a plus, but I ended up going with the same brand as my other camera, just a less complex model. I'm happy with my purchase even though I'm not happy with the spending money part, but it had to be done.
When I got home, we had dinner and I walked around the house taking random pictures because the camera guy said I should run the battery out and then recharge it over night. It took way longer than expected, but I finally exhausted it and it's charging now.
I skyped with Emma for a little bit and it's already really late so I'm going to bed right after I finish my writing.
Buonanotte!

P.S. It's my 5 months in Italy anniversary. It's been a great and tough couple of months, but overall, I'm just sad the time is going by so fast. Here's to the next 5!
