Thanksgiving is one week away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although it is mid November, it feels nothing like it should. Yes I am in Italy and Thanksgiving is an all American holiday, I still feel like something is missing. Next Thursday for the first time in my life I will be getting up and not going to school! I will not be going to my aunts to eat tons of food, watching a Christmas movie and going to bed early for Black Friday. Once Thanksgiving passes, in America its Christmas all the way!!! Christmas songs on the radio, Christmas sales, even more Christmas trees and Christmas decorations or no ABC Family for the 25 days of Christmas.
However, I hear that Christmas in Italy is pretty awesome. It will be a different style, but one I hope to enjoy. I do know that there school is closed for two weeks, which is wonderful!!! Also in Italy they have la befana, a which that comes and brings candy to the good kids and coal to the bad kids. December 8th is a religious holiday so there is no school then either!!!!!
Things have been going here in Italy. School is school, six days a week :( I am still enjoying German class and science. I am making friends at school, talking to people more and getting to know my friends here in Aversa too. Last night I went and played pool with a few of my friends and I was reminded just how bad I am at it. It was not a serious game which was good because I had a score of zero.
Last Friday I went home with my friend at school, she is also an exchange student who came over with ASSE so I knew her before from orientation. I spent the night at her house and I had so much fun!!!! I also made two new friends :D They wait everyday after school for my friend and her host sisters and walk with them after school, so while I am waiting for my host mom to pick me up I talk with them and enjoy their company. I have realized just how much I miss my friends and having friends and seeing them everyday. I hate being home doing nothing and just being alone. I hang out with my host sister and I have fun with her, but when we are just watching t.v. or something I become bored very easily. I enjoy the company of others and I always want to be surrounded by people and do something, even if its just a walk, it bets being home on Facebook.
Sorry its been a little while, but I become busy and just don't remember, but I shall try hard to remember about my blog and all me beloved readers!!! Thank you guys!!!!!!
