Tonight is the last night in Haines. It is a hard one, but I am getting through it, goodbyes are always so difficult.
I am sorry if I have missed you on a goodbye.

So, Goodbye

These blogs I hope to keep up, but they will probably be few and far between, we shall see....

Tomorrow morning I begin with 9 am ferry to Juneau, then 4-ish flight AK air to Seattle arriving 7:40 pm. Then 9:45 pm Bl

This is the end of the trip.... and now i have to get ready to go back home...... there are only 36 days left of my 10 months in Italia!

SO well im getting ready to go,  i am so not prepared. any suggestions for re-americanizing myself....?

Pretty much stuck in euro mode..... Not really ready to re-enter... the well america.

Uffa, no!

But well all good things come to an end. i had a great experience, sorry i didnt feel like writting about it. but well every now and then i try,

Well this has been a good year.....

Ciao Italia!

The problem with downhill is that its harder to use the brakes...

I can't slow down now even if i wanted to...

That is tough.  I have been here for almost 6 months now, which means that there is only about 4 more left in my stay... That really sucks.

I want it to last forever. Guess i just have to come back.

Going home sounds nice but also very depressing. That means everything in english, everyone i knew before (no offense i love you all so much, i just like being able to meet new people everyday too...) sorry, no more italian or italiansssss, =( it will just be .... different now.

But anyways things have only been getting better! we just had carnevale! It was AWESOME!!!!!!

I got to go out, live and have fun... i wasnt at home anyways. i was in another city where i could go around with the host sisters i had for  week and stay out. Went  the DISCO!!! yea, that as nice, i actually went 3 times... in that week... nice !

ummm ok im sorry but i cant come home again. ever

ciao im staying in italy!

Right I have celebrated My birthday, christmas, new years, Befana, and halloween

all in italia now!

so well i would have to say its been different.

Im writting a little more because i never use this. i should more.. but well... sorry.

i cant acess it from my house, right now im at school. . .  CHE PALLE!

right and as for italiano

i can pretty much understand everything, almost.

which is good. its easier to understand than to speak at this point.

But of course there are new words and strange phrases taht i will have no clue what they are. but well thats why im still learning! and my grammer is still, needing lots of work.

but im doing what i can.

I have ok grades, still have to catch up in a ton of classes and get a grade. but well in the ones i have grades in im doing pretty well.

wanting to explore more of sardegna, but still not knowing how. for this im hating italy. but its beautiful here and im loving the differences but. of course not all of them.

Minchia voglio un nuovo famiglia... un nuovo vita di qui....

SO well im still alive, thats well kind of goes without saying...

i would hope.

anyways life has changed. i cant even remember what i was writting about before. Well im in my second home. I live with Franca and Nino. they are an old couple of 62 years old. Married forever and with 2 sons in their 30's... They are as you call here antique... So its an old fashioned life for me which is a bit difficult for me to deal with at times. but well we just work around certain issues like when i can come home on saturdays and where i can and cant go. which can be very problematic for me. im in truth getting rather tired of these rules... doesnt help that Franca happens to be a volunteer of AFS (my intercultura program) and so i have the strictest rules possible, everything is by the book of afs!

so in a way im almost kind of hating this year!!!

i have more freedom in AK which is horribly sad.

A pathetic existance in Italy.
