When in Rome.

Hmm, so I've found myself in a horrible predicament.

Tomorrow I have to go back to school- yep see, it's that bad.

 

Spring break is just about over, less than twenty four hours until I find myself in a desk writing notes, taking quizzes (yes, I have a quiz on the first da

y back), trying to stay awake; it's all very tiring, which in turn makes it harder for me to stay awake during school. But instead of thinking about school anymore, I'm going to write about where I'd rather be tomorrow instead of school. There are so many places, let's see. Well how about London, I love London- it's one of my favorite cities, or Madrid, or Rome, Athens, Lima, Paris, Edinburgh, the list goes on. I love to travel! I want to visit so many places, and really I think it'd be much more beneficial for me to travel to one of these cities to learn than to being stuck in a desk. 

I think I'm going to occasionally make posts about a city that

 I want to visit. But where to start? Rome sounds perfect since I'll be there this summer! I'm so excited! I love Europe, but I've really only been to the United Kingdom, which consists of people who don't really cons

ider themselves European, so I don't think that counts, but this summer I'll be around the heart of Europe in Italy! When I think of Rome, two movies immediately pop into my mind: Roman Holiday and The Lizzie McGuire Movie. I'm hoping my trip will be something like those movies! I know it won't be, but I think it'll still be amazing. By the way, if you haven't seen those movies you should do that immediately, Roman Holiday is one of my favorite Audrey Hepburn movies and if you haven't seen the Lizzie McGuire movie, then shame on you. I can't wait to get there and start walking around, but I'll be with a school group so I don't exactly have the freedom to go anywhere, since we have a schedule and bus and all that jazz. Still it's frickin' Italy, I can't wait! There are so many cities and places I want to see in Italy, we'll only be around Rome and places though. Once I watched this travel show about Lake Como in Ital

y and it looks absolutely majestic, there's a huge lake and towns surrounding the edge and the water is a beautiful cerulean blue. It was actually a really cool show, this couple got to travel around the world for a year after their marriage to amazing cities everywhere and it was a television show. I only got to see a few episodes but they were so lucky, that would be an amazing experience and to share it with someone you love makes it ten times better. It was a sweet deal for them, I wonder how they were chosen. Anyways, back to Rome I guess. I think we're going to St. Peter's Basilica, or someone's basilica, but like I said I think I lost the itinerary so I don't exactly remember where we're going. I do know we're not going to the Colosseum unfortunately, but that just gives me an excuse to go back to Rome! 

Gregory Peck is obviously pointing at the large piece of cheese that Lizzie and Gordo are holding. I know Greg, that's alot of cheese! Audrey seems preoccupied 

by something else though.

Ciao!

A Lazy Sunday. And Monday... and Tuesday.

It's spring break and I've been extremely lazy.

That's probably even an understatement. I did go out with friends on Friday and that was fun and on Saturday I volunteered at the Field Museum and Sunday I went to a Lily Allen concert and yesterday I went shopping and got my hair cut. Ok so now that I've gone over all of that, it actually sounds like I've done something during break. 

But that's deceiving, because when I wasn't doing any of those things I was watching T.V. To be specific I was watching one show most of the time: NCIS. 

And I've sort of become obsessed. Lucky for me my parents happen to have the first five seasons on DVD. One day while they were watching some episodes, I made the mistake of staying and watching a full episode with them and I was surprised how much I like the show. They've already finished all the seasons, but since I was on break I thought I started, but now I just can't stop! It's odd, usually I don't like shows whose plots don't carry over from one episode to the next, but NCIS's characters are so entertaining and interesting that as soon as I finish one episode I want to watch the next one, to see what mystery/crime is going to challenge the team next.

Well maybe I'll actually do something productive tomorrow. But even if I don't it's just really nice to relax. And when I say relax, I mean being completely lazy. School has been so hectic recently, really in the past few months it's sort of taken over my life. I can't wait until summer, but for now spring break will do fine. Just fine.

I love this picture of the cast, I think it's from the third season.

Cheers!
