Finally back in Florence after a long long weekend. Last I wrote was Barcelona I think? Since then just got back in the swing of things, class and going out and what not. My coat got stolen which is annoying, but I guess its one less thing to bring home. Last weekend we were supposed to go to Sienna with API but uh.. we stayed out too late and obviously slept through our alarm. Smooth. So to be productive we went to the Ufizi and looked at art. I am not an art person, I didnt last very long there.
That night we went to Space for Jens 21st and got a table/champagne and stufff. It was fun but I was exhausted from the night before. This past week I didnt do much. Kaitlynn's two friends from home came on Tuesday and we went out to Twice. They're really fun, and it was a pretty fun night actually. Minus the massive shard of glass I sat on, that was annoying, but hilarious because we were retarted and taping napkins to my leg. Wednesday we didnt go out because we were leaving early for Greece the next morning. Instead we stayed in and watched the hills and bitched about Spencer for hours. ps.. 24 is out of control. Trying to kill Jack Bauer is not ok and obviously is not going to happen.
Soo Thursday morning we hiked with all of our shit to the train station where the bus was for greece. We went through Euroadventures and like 500 people went. It was THE most unorganized thing I have ever experienced. So we took the 4 hour bus ride to Ancona, Italy where we got on an over night cruise ship. We drank on the deck and got pretty drunk and went to dinner. Our service was terrible, no one got what the ordered, and basically Jeff was about to murder our waiter. It was kind of funny at the end. After that I was dead and just went to bed. We were woken up at like 6 am the next morning by a Greek man coming into our room. Not ok. We then waited like 30 minutes in a wicked long line to get off the boat, where we proceeded to hike another effing however far away with all of our shit, to the hour and a half ferry ride. Way too much traveling for the amount of time we went. We went Thursday to Monday and spent thursday/friday and sunday night/monday traveling. So annoying.
We finally got to our hostel, the Pink Palace. Legit HOT pink. The whole thing. I roomed with T and Cat, we unpacked a little and then had lunch and hit the beach. I finally had tunaaa again. So exciting but annoying its only in other countries! I passed out for a while on the beach and then we showered/napped and went to dinner. Dinner was included, and basically felt like we were at camp in a giant mess hall. After that we went downstairs which was their version of a discotech. It looked like a bad sweet 16 party. Drinks were like 2 euro though so we played thumper to pregame and got hammered. Then we dance for a while etc. It was a lot of fun but I was dead tired. Then we went to bed and had to wake up at 715 am, to attempt to sign up for the booze cruise. Mistake. The line was insane, people were tired and yelling and pushing because people kept cutting. The whole system was retarted. Then we found out booze wasnt even included, and it was raining, so Cat and I just said fuck it and went back to bed. Thank god we didnt go on the cruise because the whole thing was a massive porn cruise. Everyone was naked and having sex with eachother, not my thing. They also went cliff jumping and everyone that jumped came out bleeding and with massive bruises all over their bodies. No thanks. Youd have to push me to get me to jump of a 70 ft cliff.
Anyway that day Cat and I layed out on the rood with the girls and Jeff (since they decided to fucking dig up our beach that morning), where we played Im going on a picnik for hourssss. I think I got some good color considering we were only in the sun for a day and a half. That night was the Pink Palace toga party. They gave us pink sheets and we had to make a toga out of it. I could have been a lot more creative had I had any saftey pins. Just a lot of knot tying and holding it all night to keep it together. So annoying. Dinner that night was disgusting, included again so I ate some cheetos. Everyone came and drank in our room until the "RA" haha came and kicked us out. "You have 7 minutes.." So DUMB. So we went back down to the "palladium" (the disco) where everyone was in a bubble gum pink toga. So weird. I didnt drink much that night for once. It was a pretty relaxing weekend. We drink way more in Florence.
The next morning we got up at 730 again to wait in line to sign up for ATV's. We decided not to go back to bed, went to breakfast, packed all of our stuff, and then went ATVing. It was so much fun. It was so nice to see the water and everything from high up and the country side. We drove so far and unfortunately when we parked trying to find food, T lost her key to her ATV. We looked everywhere for it, we think it got flushed down the toilet in the bathroom we all stopped at haha. So sine I wasnt hungry I offered to take her back to the hostel to get a spare key. So we drove back and forth several times, getting the key and then going back to get her ATV. It was nice, we stopped and took pictures and then went and got some lunch. Then we had to check out and take the bus back to the ferry to take the cruise again. That process got old real fast. There was a ton of drama on the ferry.. about drunk girls and passport losing. Then rumors spread we missed our boat but apparently we had to wait until 1030 for the cruise anyway. So we sat at the port for like 2 hours waiting. The whole thing was exhausting.
Now I am finally back in Florence :) and relaxing in my bed. I need to unpack and study for Italian though. I did enjoy the trip, alot of people hated it, but it was just too much traveling and too unorganized. Corfu was pretty though, the country side was really nice and so was the water. Now its just the stretch until I go back the U.S. SO Crazy! anddd my 21st is a month from yesterdayy. So exciting. Although I will be here, and it will be finals week. Gay. Im at the point where I want to go home but I know I am going to want to come back immediately. And I am not all too excited to go back to school either. My schedule is going to kick my ass, housing is figured out but we still have no house, and from what I hear a lot has changed since I left. Idk we will have to see I guess. Anyway Im gonna relax now.
Ciao! <3al
