Well, that boy finally left, thank goodness, now the blogging can start once more! I’m not going to blog about any of the time that Dan was here because he told me that he really, really wants to write a blog entry about everything we did (I’m not actually forcing him at gunpoint or anything..). So I will be picking up with life since his departure so as to not encroach on any of his topics, but I will probably add my own version of the last couple of weeks once he has posted his. Typing this blog is more exciting when I’ve got something pretty on my left hand to stare at as I do it (you think I’m kidding).
Well, yesterday at 630am I dropped my fiancée off at the airport. I was jealous that he gets to go back home, which is weird because I am loving my time over here… home is just always an appealing destination. I’m very excited to go home, but I know I will miss this once it’s over.
After we parted ways, I had to get back to work. I headed back to the Villalta for breakfast before my two classes and a meeting for my research. I was having a real hard time staying awake in my classes- I thought this was due to either the fact that I woke up at 5am, the fact that one class was talking about lateral torsional buckling in steel trusses and the other was about dirt, or that it was literally 80 degrees (excuse me- 26.7 degrees Celsius) in each of the classrooms…but it turns out it was probably neither, I was just really, really tired! When I got home from class at 6pm I decided to take a short nap (although I had already had one…as I was waiting for my meeting to discuss my research, my Foundations teacher let me pass the time doing homework in his office while he went out to lunch and I dozed off right on my book! When he came back, I popped my head right up and pretended to never have fallen asleep, but I couldn’t hide the ring mark on my cheek…), Anyway, I slept right through my alarms during this “short” nap and didn’t wake up until my roommates came in after dinner at 10 (I was sad I missed dinner- I was really looking forward to having my 3-course-Villalta food again!) Anyway, I kept on sleeping after being awaken my the roomies, because I really didn’t want to start writing my papers yet, and I knew that if I woke up and got going, I wouldn’t be able to get back to sleep and I would absolutely fall asleep in my 8-oclock, 27deg Celsius class discussing every little detail of the Eurocode for steel design. So I set a new alarm and woke up, still unwillining, 12 hours after I fell asleep. How can someone sleep 12 hours and still want more? Italy has made me soft. Or it has made my brain soft mush…thinking in 3 languages every day has a tiring affect on a person.
In my dream during my coma I “helped” Logan write a final paper (probably because I’m subconsciously thinking about the 3 papers I’m supposed to be writing for school) for Mrs. Wyzard, which I erased everything Logan wrote and wrote myself, and I was very proud of it. When Logan got it back, the paper was completely red with corrections, and had been corrected back to exactly how Logan had initially written it! (Hey Logan, wanna write my research project paper on the application in the United States of recycled rubber and FRP in elastomeric bearings for seismic base isolation? Now that it’s summer you’re probably looking for something to do.)
Okay, well that’s all for now. You’ll probably be hearing from Dan soon! (Hopefully after he gets to take his own coma.)
Bye!!
(note: no ciao or Italian words of any kind because I’m back to thinking in English after speaking it for 2.5 weeks…unfortunate)
P.S. Dan- we finally got that rain that we were supposed to get on the day we wanted to go to Ischia! Holy cow it can rain over here! A single raindrop could knock a Chihuahua out! Big ol' fat rain.
