I'm sorry people but I Don't have Internet!
Hello my friends and family! I am sorry I have not updated anything lately. It's been very difficult updating photos and everything else because I have been away and have no internet at the house where i am living. On another note, I recently just went to Naples (Napoli)! It was amazing! I went to the National Gay Pride March in Napoli and was fortunate enough to eye all the hot Italian boys! I went with my friend Alejandro(UCSB), Kiley (UCSB), and my friend Erin (UCLA). Once we got to Napoli at 6.00 in the morning we took a metro to our hostel and realized we could not check in until 8am. We then found a small coffee shop where we sipped on a macchiatto and ate a sandwich our host moms packed for us. At 8 we checked in and then found out we couldnt have our room until 2pM! We were so sleepy so we slept at the hostel lounge and decided to leave our stuff in some lockers near by. Around 12PM we ate the best pannini I have ever tasted! It has mushrooms, peppers, hella cheese, and meat! Mmm! Yes be jealous! haha. We then left to Napoli and once we got there we felt paranoid. Everyone talks about how dangerous it is and how one can get mugged, but honsetly it's not very different then fucking downtown LA. haha. We walked very far in order to get to the pride march. We saw so many African vendors selling fake Louis Vouiton and Prada bags everywhere. Unfortunately, it started sprinkling very hard while it was sunny as fuck! Yes, I know the weather in Italy is crazier than the one in Berkeley. Once it stopped drizziling, we started drinking HELLA and starred at all the beautiful scenery (and by scenery i mean the hot guys in short shorts-lol). We stayed there for 3 hours because my friend Erin got really fucked up and we had to carry her back home. It was a mission trying to get back home because I had to help carry her through the metro and at the same time push her dress up so her boobs and vag didnt show. Lol. Ladies and older people looked at us and thought ''crazy Americans.'' After we sobered up we went out at 8pm and sought a gay club. We luckily found one after we were ripped off by a taxi driver and after getting lost like 3 times. We got there at 12;30AM. The party was over at 6AM so we didnt care. It was very fun but our drunkenness was totally gone. We couldnt buy more drinks because drinks were sooooooooo expensive because of the gay pride. The place was replete with HOT older guys for some reason. haha. We all just looked but didnt touch. hehe.
That was all pleasant until we got lost on the way back home on Sunday afternoon. We were supposed to leave at 2,30 pm and arrive to our house at 10pm. we never got home! the workers at the train station told us to take the wrong train and we ended up at some random station. Unfortunately, there were no more trains and we had to either sleep at the station or get a hotel. We didn't want to pay so we slept at the sation! I know, so crazy. It was the worst but yet memorable night. We finally stepped on the train and arrived to Siena at 6;30am on Monday morning. Unfortunately (once again) I had homework and an essay due at 9AM. I ran home and wrote it so fast and then ran to class.
Things got better though! I got my test I had taken on thursday of the previous week and received an 86%!! Apparently, this score allowed me to skip from my Italian 5 class to my italian 6 class. Basically, I skipped half a semester of class! Yooohoo! Although it's a bit more challlenging, I know I can study and do well. Well, that's all for this post. I love you all and hope to hear from you soon! Comment on my posts bitches! Ask questions if you have any!

Arrival
I can finally write in this blog thing! I have no internet at my home-stay so it's a bit difficult getting ahold of internet. I am loving it here. I am still in the process of settling in, but everything is going well. I am going to Amsterdam next weekend and i am super excited for that. I get to smoke and see prostitutes legally selling themselves! haha.

The Week Before My Departure
Sadly, I am leaving my lovely family and close friends, but my journey in Europe will begin in a couple of days. I am super excited. My last few weeks at home with my family have been terrific. I feel like I bonded very well with my brother and parents. Our family trips to San Diego and Santa Maria were amazing and I can say that it was one of the greatest weekends I have had in a very long time. The great restaurant my friend Isabel recommended served delicious food and good mariachi music. My family's stay at the Old Inn in downtown San Diego was also amazing.
My recent expedition in San Francisco was excellent as well. My high and fun times with my closest friends was the kick-off to my great summer. Damn I am already missing my family and friends and I haven't left. Hopefully I will be able to make this blog interesting and descriptive so you can see my whole year in Europe. This is a small introduction to the blog I will use and update during my stay in Europe. I will update you all with the the new people I meet, the new places I visit, and the amazing delicious food I will be eating. I love you all!
