It's been raining in Gorizia for about 2 weeks now. Three weeks ago it was hot and everyone was gearing up to go to the beach. Now everyone is gearing up for the cold. They tell me that this is what November feels like, not June.
I miss the sun.
Anyways, this is kind of a catch up post. Last week I hit my 9 month mark. Wow. It seems like yesterday I that I'd just arrived. It's hard to believe that I'll be going home soon. I don't like thinking about that.
To celebrate 9 months, I went to Green Day. I know, an American in Italy going to see an American band in Italy. It doesn't make sense. It was still really fun! I sung and sung and sung. The next day my throat hurt but it was worth it. I've never had so much fun before. Okay so maybe I have but that doesn't matter. First concert off the bucket list!
Then the next day, was the Gorizia Triathlon. Did I do it? Heh, no. I volunteered instead. I had to count the laps in the pool with my friend Vicky. We all know about Vicky who is this amazing triathlete. She did well in the race too.
Plus there was an Olympian competing in the triathlon. His name is Alessandro Fabian and he came in 10th at London. I even got an autograph. On my t-shirt! I will never wash that shirt again. Okay maybe I will but only in special cases.
So that's been my life. I mean I was sick a few weeks ago and I lost 3 kilos...okay maybe 2. Still losing weight is a good thing in my situation. All the pasta tends to add up.
Then tomorrow, I'm going to the Dolomite's with the other exchange students for our last meeting. There will be tears no doubt. Sunday is the Pro Gorizia championship soccer game. I will be running back from Dobbiacco to see them play. My friends are on that team.
Next Sunday, I'll be in Milan for the start of the Euro tour. 14 days, 30 exchange students, a lot of cities and one bus. There will never be a dull moment. I will be going to: Milan, Lione, Paris, Strasbourg, Munich, Prague, a city outside of Prague, Vienna and Venice. So it should be fun. I mean Paris! Who doesn't want to go to Paris?
School ends next Saturday and I have my class party right afterwards. So next week is going to be busy, busy, busy.
