Obligatory Amsterdam letters picture.

Last weekend I made a trip down to Roma and Napoli. I don't know how we did it, but we managed to see the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Colosseum, Palatino, Roman Forums, Vatican City, and so so much more. It was a long day of nonstop walking and awe. I can't wait to go back.

PS. I nearly got pickpocketed twice in Roma, but I caught them red handed. Are you kidding me? I can smell you gypsies from miles away. Leave me and my belongings alone.

These past few weeks have been rough, and as a result, changed my study abroad experience completely. I no longer feel the thrill of traveling; and living in Florence almost seems normal, whatever that means. I don't want to leave here... but I can't wait to be home. I've been exhausted for too long now. Finals snuck up behind me, and I have barely caught up on all my assignments. How do you make the best out of the worst situation? It's the toughest thing, but I'm trying. I really am.
