Happy (almost) Valentine's Day!

I have always liked Valentine's Day for some reason although I know a lot of people don't. And even if you don't have anyone specialspecial you still have family/ friends and you feel fuzzy all day. That sounds really lame but I think it's a nice thing overall.


This is also weird but nice: I got a little sack of blood oranges (they're popular here) at the grocery store and am going to eat them all really fast (haha not really, but kind of). They taste fantastic and are beautiful.

I just read Lady Chatterley's Lover (another book from the school collection). I haven't felt this enthusiastic about a writer since I don't know when. I definitely recommend the book and I mean, the wording is pretty scandalous now so I can't imagine how racy it must have seemed way back when it was written. D. H. Lawrence has a way with words that I envy. That said, I'm going to let the book speak for itself and when you read it you'll know I'm talking about.


Today was the last day of the Italian intensive and we had a short test. Monday we start real classes. I can't believe I've been here for three weeks already. It feels like only one or two weeks. TIME. AHHH. But in a good way.

Hope you're all well and warm.
