buenos dias, mis amigas. or amigos, if there is atleast one male follower among us. the days when i forget my spanish are the odd ones, seeing as i have been studying it longer than any other language(save for good ol' ENGLISH). i am at a loss for how to spend my time, as i have a lot of it but i have no plans and for some reason being lazy isnt quite as appealing as it used to be. we never seem to have enough free time when we want it, and yet when we do have it we have no use for it. would someone care to explain to me why that is? i would like to spend my time making cupcakes, but alas, i have no frosting or frosting ingredients and no one to eat them. oh poo. au revoir.

Ciao, residents of the universe. i have recently returned from Italy, or what my friend likes to call The Old Country(la paese vecchia). there was lots of sleeping, and busing, and picture taking, and blackmail-picture taking, and ruins, and sheep, and furry trees, and small beds, and strange bathrooms, and playgrounds, and italian residents(some of whom were nice and others who were snotty). i think i took 1000 pictures, and unfortunately facebook doesnt like to cooperate when i want to upload photos. i think its jealous that i didnt take it with me. the wifi was very slow there. can someone please explain to me why the DCPS spring break was so late this year? every school system around us seemed to have it a month earlier than we did. very odd.
