im getting bad at blogging on the reg

Lets see lets see. So we went out for the first time 2 nights ago(debatable) and it was SO MUCH FUN. Im trying hard to remember details but i know that we drank tequila (because thats fun in EVERY country), had a round of drinks called "orgasmos," danced on stages (which is also fun in every country), and had a few minor mishaps on the way home because someone (R-Titz) got a little too drunky. it was really hilarious. i wish i could write all the embarassing details but since i have a soul i will pass. Long story short, it took us 4 hours to move her 2 blocks. i was literally laughing so hard. The sun was up when we got back to santa reparata. We also tried to sing kareoke and got denied which was rude. We keep running into the boys from the Palio which is awkward. There were a few BLDs but all in all i think we all kept it together pretty well considering the creep-level of the italian man/american girl combination, and the amount of alcohol involved. The next day we slept until 2PM then relaxed all day. Nicole wanted to host a dinner party in our sauna of an apartment so everyone from all 3 apartments came over and we made Pesto Pasta, potatos, risotto, salad, pizza, and WINE obviously. It was really fun to hang out with everyone because the whole living sitch divides us so much. OMG I FORGOT ABOUT TUSCANY. We went to tuscany and it was gorge. We went to a darling little vineyard in Chianti and literally got CRUNK. they fed us a delicious antipasto salad and lasagna with truffle olive oil. Carlo was our presenter man and he was just fabulous and italian and the whole bit. I think Gwen was quite smitten. One of the waiter men took a liking to Abbie and made a point to kiss her on the cheek repeatedly throughout the day. The white wine was PERFECT. nom. Anyway then we went to San Gimignano which is a gorgeous little midival town with AMAZING views of the Ialian countryside. We took lots of pictures i just havent uploaded them yet. You all are going to die. My robot eyes were on system overload (L-reed) and Ive never seen anything so beautiful! We also went to a torture museum which was a little much. I learned about the medival artform of the "rectal pear." i'll let your minds wander with that one. I'm obsessed with our little 5-some of Rachel, Nicole, Abbie Gwen and I. I will probably have intense abs with the amount of laughing im doing on this trip. Great, so they can match my expanding oxen calves from walking up 4 flights of stairs multiple times a day. This morning we had an impromptu orientation for school because we may or may not have missed it to go to the Palio (sorry bout it)and we got our schedules and books and stuff. Im taking International Marketing from 4-6:30 M-Th. I like having it at this time because Gwen Abbie and Rachel have classes at the same time and we can do fun day trips before our classes! and we also get into every museum in Florence for free with our VIP cards, NBD. Stoked. After orientation Gwen Rachel and I walked around the Leather market and they both bought some baller ass leather jackets. I opted out because A) i dont ride motorcycles, and B) i didnt want to drop bills my first week here. If my budget allows i might splurge at the end but i dont know if thats likely. Then we had a delicious lunch because we were "hangry" which is getting angry because you are hungry. copyright Gwen 2010. I had a bomb pannini with proscuitto and cheese and tomatoes. PS Tomatoes taste so much better here. Now were at the internet cafe across from our apt and were getting ready to head to class. After Class everyones meeting up to go see Eclipse at the American Theater!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH. I thought i was going to have to wait to see this glory until i was back in the states. NOPE. We ride tonight. K I miss you all! And heres your shoutout Silver Fox, i miss you mucho. :)

PS: Argentina disappointed me bigtime. WTMF
