Hey everyone!
Stuff is starting to wind down here in Italia.
Easter dinner was a huuuge success. It ended up being Eastover because we had some Jewish kids with us.. We ended up with 12 people. We had a slight panic because the girl who was bringing appetizers was sick so she couldn't come. Thus Jess and I ended up cooking way more than we would have liked to - Five minutes before people arrived. However Easter was a ton of fun and everyone loved the meal. We made this thing they call "in crosta".. it was a pork roast wrapped in bread and pancetta, and it was absolutely amazing. Not exactly Kosher, but as I was reminded "It's Easter, why would you make it Kosher?" Right, thanks Jonah. ;)

Time is absolutely flying. I've made an effort to do every "Florence thing" possible. My friend Shawn visited these past few days. We went to this restauraunt called Il Latini, and I'm going to have a to make a separate entry for it, just because I think I cam make it into a really good story. I also have climbed the bell tower of the Duomo, and hung out in the Boboli Gardens at the Pitti Palace. Shawn was a really good excuse to do all of these things.. and to re-climb the Duomo. We also went back to Fiesole, which is the town just outside of the city that has the archaeological ruins. However, we got to explore the town a little more, and we found the most AMAZING view of Firenze that I could have ever asked for.

This weekend, five of us are heading to Trapani, a town on the western-ish coast of Sicily.

OH and I'm updating my pictures as I speak (..type?). Apparently some of the albums were on the "private" setting.. SORRY!

I have a little over three weeks left, and I'm devastated. It will be nice to see people, eat cheddar cheese, and wear sweatpants without getting judged for not having "la bella figura".. and I'm excited to start my new job at Butler .. but I'm not quite ready to leave Europe yet.

Grad school abroad? I think so.
