Looking Back

I feel like maybe I should have discovered the meaning of life, or something.

The reality is that I lived some amazing experiences, and then I came back to a few familiar things such as responsibility, a near-empty bank account, the realization that I'm not graduating this year either, that there's no fluffy & smelly dog to greet me when I get home, and that I desperately need to find a stable job.

There's a few things I miss already: the amount of food, the quality of food, pasta, gelato (McD's soft ice cream just doesn't cut it for me anymore), the need to speak Italian, the gentlemen-like attitude of the real Italian guys (over here, they push and shove and laugh at you as you try to open a door alone and you're carrying an entire week's groceries in your hands).

I'm still not sure whether I'm supposed to be back here, and I'm even less sure of whether I really fell in love over there with Italy, or if it was just being in love with travelling. So I've decided I need to travel some more, to make sure. For now, there's no way I'm leaving the house for the summer, so I'll make do with what I have, but that doesn't mean I have to stop dreaming...

My next trips will include: Peru, California, Lausanne (Switzerland), England, Ireland, Turkey.

WORD OF THE DAY: a la carbonara
dunno what it means, but it has to do with pasta, and it's delicious. I should post some recipes on here.

PLUS: see gallery section! pictures should be up of the trip
AND I'm adding a drawing section as well.
