Ok, so it really has been a long time since I last posted, and yes Amber, I know I'm slack. But the mood is striking me today, so I'm writing!
Since I last posted, I took a 12 day trip to Italy. The trip of a lifetime, truly. If you have never been, my advice is to go, sooner rather than later. It is so beautiful that words really can't do it justice, especially my favorite area of Cinque Terra, or '5 Lands'. On the coast, these 5 villages sit precariously on the edges of cliffs with tiny buildings smooshed together to protect from the weather. You've never seen anything more mesmorizing, perplexing, and gorgeous all at the same time, I promise. But because you're destined to do a lot of walking around Rome, Florence, and areas like Cinque Terra, I say go when you can, as early as you can, and as often as you can!
The one downfall about the trip, that was also an incredible plus (not to seem ungrateful) was that I was there with my parents. As much fun as we have together, I feel like I need a vacation from them. Sharing everything for 12 straight days, including small spaces like the airplane, will make even the smallest things get on your nerves more than likely. And when the cute Italian waiter hits on you in front of your father, it kinda puts a damper on the mood!
Now that the trip is over, I'm back at my cubicle at work, counting down the remaining 29 days until I'm no longer here. I'll be sad because I truly will miss the girls that I work with, but definitely ready for the next adventure to start: law school! Taking a break before the chaos begins seems like the smartest idea I've had in a long time...and I'm determined to make the most of it! Let the days by the pool begin :)
