New York, not New York City

how many times is it appropriate to say ‘what’ before you nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said

My life.

Hug your moms today if they’re there for you. They try so hard. You never know if you’ll be able to hug them again so hug extra tight.

Hug them for you and hug them for all the kids who can’t. Whether they are gone or just millions of miles away…

Not me, but I know exactly where it is! 

Gotta love being able to go to Venice like 5 times.

Then you’re Romeo and he’s Rosalie. Though, to be honest, I would rather have Casanova than Romeo; more experienced and less likely end up dead along with me, his best friend, my cousin and many others within a week… Also we would be of reasonable age and not be considered pedophilia. **coughcough**20and13**coughcough**

This is the fun side of looking for universities…. I’ll post the MIT one later…

(Source: imserioussirius, via gabrielsaunteredvaguelydownwards)

Hey everyone! I’m really sorry for not posting anything, I’ll make a decent one soon! I’ve been really busy, which is really good.

Over/After dinner, my host family and I like to discuss language. Whether it’s an English word they don’t know or I try to explain what I did that day or talking about idioms and slag, it’s really nice. It kind of like our way of bonding. Tonight it was brought up how much Italian I have picked up. It’s been about 6 and 1/2 weeks. I still can’t hold a conversation, and I can’t understand average paced Italian, but I now can respond with about 70% Italian…. on average. I feel so proud of myself, but at the same time I realize how even though it is alot, it’s still not enough. That however takes time. And paticence. Fuunn.

Anyway! I am slowly getting bored with my music… Does anyone have any peticular artist they like? Send me a message! just click Tutte le domande? :3  and send me a message!

I will post what I’ve been up to this past month as soon as I get a chance!

ciaociao! :3
