Around the World and Back

Hello!!!
I haven't posted in so long but every day I think about my blog...kind of sad. Haha. BUT I have been busy with school (well I was busy at the beginning of May) with finals, then I went home for one week and unpacked and packed again because I left for Sicily/Italy on Friday 15th! What a beautiful place!!! The people in Sicily are gorgeous and so kind and the cultural is beautiful! I decided that I really don't like America too much after being overseas. I mean really now, Americans are so driven that they don't really take the time to do anything, like smell the roses. I mean that literally, too. The flowers in Sicily: I wanted to breathe in that air all day, every day for the rest of my life. I stayed in this town in the cliffs above the Mediterranean (of course, right? A small, cliff side town in Sicily) called Taormina. Talk about ancient! Est. in 550 BC. I felt blessed. Though I'm atheist, haha. Anyway, then, I stayed a week in Rome. I did not like it. Rome was too commercialized, too American. I felt like I was in New York City again. All the Italian I had learned wasn't used at all in Rome and I forgot most of it. However, I am currently applying to school in Florence for the fall and I hope I get in!
