Saturday Night

Well the day started normally. i got up for school. it was so cold, -6°c. school was sooo boring. the night before, i accidentally synced my ipod and guess what....nooooo music. it sucks. but i think its a sign from god that i should learn italian. ahah. well i decided to color the whole day since i had to sit through italian, science, and history. Math came around. that was difficult of course. but some how i figured it out :) finally school ended and we got on the bus. it was a long ride. Towards the end it got fun. i had my video camera and i was taking videos of buia so you can see a little of what i get to see everyday and what has become normal for me. we had 2 stops left and i was looking out the window and i saw these things falling from the sky. i thought there might have been some paper burning making little white flakes fly through the sky..thats when i realized...it was snowing. i took a video. but as i watched it later, i realized you can't even see the snow. they were big flakes, but like 8 of them. but i didn't care...it was still snow. we came home to some yummy lunch and ate up. i was feeling a little tired so i made some coffee and Giada, Daniel (her 5 year old brother), and i played some uno. Sadly, Giada and i were schooled by Daniel...it was quite embarrassing. finally 5 came around and i headed to get my skype on. i talked to Elise...my cousin...and my parents. i had made a list the whole week of things i wanted to talk to them about...it helped so i didn't just sit there and say...."im good...my italian is getting better....i like the food". i actually let them in on some insight. ahah. the list went something like this

• Sicily=i am going to Sicily for a week on the 20th of this month...can't wait. i am going with another friend, Monique, who is from AUS. and we get to visit Palermo and another big city and we also get to go to different schools and see them and just have an amazing time.
• Cavalino=in april, me and my family are going to Cavalino, which is close to Venice, for 5 days to relax on the beaches in the sun.
• Verona=the day before ^...i am going to Verona for a day with my school.
• Trieste=i am going to Trieste for one day for a cross-country run thing with AFS
• Mike Visit=is mike coming...that would be awesome.
• Steven-girls=Not that steven isn't good looking, but my whole life, i've dealt with my friends and other random girls always seeing mike and going, "oohhh he's cute. is he single...ect." so when i came here i was some-what expecting that when my friends would see my family pictures....nope. more like..."ooohhh steven...hes cute. how old is he? single? coming to Italy?" the first few times (yes...this has happened more than once) i was like..."you mean mike?" and i would scroll to his picture. and they would say, "no...steven" adn scroll back to his picture. haha. The girls all think mike is good looking, but he is the typical american boy...but steven looks like the italian boys here...and a good one at that. lucky you steven. :)
• and i forgot the rest. i will put the rest up for sure later :)

so that was super fun to talk to them. around 7 we headed home. when we got home we had hamburgers. Giada and i ate quickly and began getting ready...for we...were going to a DISCO :)

we weren't planning on wearing heels...but Giada made me. so i ended up wearing my black heels :( black jeans, a white tank, and a little black sweater.

After driving around for an hour with bad directions and hard to understand, napoli-italian, we made it to the disco. we got there around 11:30...but dancing doesn't even start until like 12 or 12:30. so we kinda just stood around. already...feet were hurting. finally we found a friend from school and talked with her and her friends. soon the dancing began. the dance floor started empty and we all kinda just stood in our cirlces, barely dancing, until the rest of the people started to arrive. the dance floor got so full of people. that if i wasn't being touched on my torso//grande butt area, i must have been outside. it was fun. i sang and danced to all the american songs that played. while everyone else danced and mumbled what they thought the words were except the chorus....thats when suddenly everyone knew the words. it got really hot and we decided to take a little break. we went and stood outside...which felt amazing...even though it was -6°c. we went back it and somehow squeezed our way back to our little group. some italian song (i know...italain...weird) was playing and it was pretty much just a beat and then a random spout of words. well this guy next to us would turn from his friends and yell that at us. haha. it was funny. he would keep doing that and then he would just dance with us and then turn back to his friends. He said something to me but of course, i don't speak that good of italian, so i didn't understand. Giada explained to him that i am american. he speaks abosulutely no english. His name is Matteo. which made us laugh even more, because in our class we have 2 matteos and 1 mattia. 2 am rolled around and we headed home.

well the bell just rang at school.

love you all.

Sarah.
