I haven't been on the internet for the past couple of days, but I will catch up with everything now. For Easter, my host family and I went to my host mom's mom's house for a big lunch. There was so much food, but I just had a little bit of everything. I didn't feel like stuffing myself even though everything was delicious. Then we got to open our chocolate eggs which are huge hollow eggs made of different kinds of chocolate which are typical to give as gifts for easter. Then Chiara, Guilia, and I went and drove around the city for a while and talked. When we returned, we changed and then went out again with one of Giulia's friends who lives in the same city as her grandma. We went to this really delicious gelato shop and had ice cream for dinner because we were still somewhat full from lunch.
We stayed with Giulia's friends for the rest of the night and then we returned back to her grandma's house to sleep. I was able to sleep in until around 12 in the morning and then we had a somewhat light lunch. All I ate was the soup because I wasn't very hungry. Then the three of us laid in bed for an hour or so, resting, listening to music, and talking. Around 4, we went for an hour long walk around the the town. It's a really small, but very pretty place. A little after 5, we drove back to Fabriano, got ready, and then the three of us went out again for dinner and stayed at the pub with our friends for the rest of the night.
That night I got really sick and wasn't able to sleep very well. At lunch just looking at food made me feel nauseous, so I skipped eating and went back to bed. I stayed in bed for the rest of the afternoon, still felt nauseous during dinner, so I went back to sleep at 9. It wasn't the best of days.
Today I woke up and felt almost normal again aside from a little weakness, but it's probably because I hadn't eaten. I made my way through school and I mostly read. I did a little writing as well and I talked with all of my friends about their spring breaks. After lunch, I laid in bed because I was still tired and then I had to leave at 3 for italian lessons but it was the first time I was able to see Janie in more than 2 weeks because she had been in Germany, so I was excited.
After lessons, Janie and I walked around the gardens and talked for about 2 hours straight. Then we met up with some friends at a pizzeria and we all walked to the pub together and stayed there until 7:30. It was still really light out when I was picked up which is going to take some getting used to because we just changed the hour here. I like it when it's light out later though.
After dinner, I got some of my travel plans figured out for when my mom and sister come to Italy and then I went to my room to go to bed because I've been pretty tired today.
Buonanotte!
