La Vita è Bella

Life is beautiful ( note: kind of a take off of kats name mwaha)

last night i arrived in Biella, after a very long day of catching trains and shopping. that was an experience, seriously.
anyway, a bried run down of the last week :

i arrived in Rome at 6am last friday morning, and met everyone t the hotel. we proceeded to spend the day buying souvenirs, visiting various famous monuments, bonding and perving on italian boys. that night, best gnocchi i have ever had /drools.

the next day we went to the Vatican City, it was as amazing as when i saw it 2 years ago. so much walking though which i guess was good for me. that night was the highlight of my trip so far. conveniently, staying at our hotel was a schoolgroup of american, a few of who we made friends with. the hotel in rome had an amazing rooftop garden and the lot of us (about 5 americans plus 10 australians) sat together onthe rooftop for a few hours and made friends. i met aboy called alex. he couuld be defined a perfect. i can honestly say that ive never met anyone so kind, sweet and attractive in my life. he was amazing, but lives in Pensylvania. well, we spent all night together and i ended up back in my hotel room at about 4 am after a perfect night. awaking at 5 30 wasnt fun though (ugh)
although he st with me for breakfast in the morning, i never had the chance to say goodbye as we left the hotel for Firenze earlier than we had planned. this is one of those things that i know i will regret for a long time to come. i will never see him again.

firenze was amazing. visiting this uffizi and academia again was more enjoyable, as i was actually able to appreciate all the art this time. i collected lots of brochues and bought large quantitis of novely pens and notebooks from the gift shops. our hotel in firenze was nice, but it was nothing compared to rome. the shopping was soooooooooooo good, i cant even explain. i bought 6 scarfes. and 3 pairs of awesome tights (they look like henna on my legs). plus so many presents, a 90£ bag which is about $180, i (L) firenze tshrt, 2 belts, various pieces ofjewelery, a weed tin (LOL) and many other items.

okay, last night i got to Biella and sawall the italians again. it was really awesome to see everyone, even Mattia was happy to see me. i crashed last night, so tired from the last week of travel.
today we went to school. I saw Francesco. it was so worth waiting a year. i will see him lots over the next week i hope. i aw luca and all the other italians aswell and it was so great to see that they had all stayed friends. the lessons were fun, we just spoke in english.
we danced, embarassing. walkd all around town.
and now i am at home, Katerina is sitting at the computer next to me talking to friends.
Amira and Fra are behind me watching italian tv. tonight, were going to some disco thing. la vita è bella.
i miss everyone, lots. especially my mum.
now im sure i have better things to do than sit on blogger.
ciaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
