Giorno di San Valentino, Luke, & formaggio

Disclaimer: there is absolutely no overarching theme to this post. It is the definition of disorganized.

Yesterday I didn't go to school. Not because it was Valentine's Day, but because I needed to get fingerprinted and apply for a Residence Permit. Very romantic.

Anyway, Valentine's Day in Italy is only between couples. Giving candy/cards to your friends is an American thing. However my Italian father brought home three roses, one for my mother, one for Ludovica, and one for me.

So sweet

I don't care about missing prom & graduation, but getting pictures of my brother's 7th birthday party made me feel so sad.

WHAT KIND OF SISTER MISSES HER BROTHER ON A ZAMBONI?




Luke is truly the coolest 7 year old in the world and I really miss him.

What else. So far I've made pancakes & chocolate ricotta muffins for my host family but I want to make scalloped potatoes and grilled cheese for them, too. So my host mom and I went to the store to buy cheese. For scalloped potatoes you need cheddar cheese and that just doesn't exist in Italy. Fontina cheese is similar, so we bought that. 

Mouse heaven

Pictures of my schedule...a little late but better late than never. I tried to find patterns within it but honestly the Italian school system still confuses me.




DIS = History of Art
MAT = Math
ING = English
SPA = Spanish
FIL = Philosophy/History
ITA = Italian/Latin
FIS = Physics
REL = Religious Studies
EDF = Physical Education

During the crossed out "RUSSO-FRA" period I go to German class. TELL ME IF YOU SEE A PATTERN IN THE SCHEDULE BECAUSE I HAVEN'T FOUND ONE YET.

Ok I think that's it.... oh wait. Nope. Here's a picture of me and my valentine aka Italian Elena: 


Luv y'all. Ciao.
