1.5 hrs til spring break!

i feel bad i havent updated much. i know im going to regret it later, so im going to try to write something short now. im in cinema class right now talking about one of the most disturbing movies ive ever seen, salò. don't watch it. im not even go into it but just trust me. this class is so eh. the teacher prints out tons of pages (like 50?) and just reads them mostly though the class. it's so boring and makes him seem like he doesn't know what hes talking about, but today hes been better about asking questions.

im sooooo tired. ive been up so late every night. i feel like i never sleep here. but im going on spring break tonight!! im going to germany with bryan then prague with a bunch of friends from my program and then budapest with my one friend margaret from here. im nervous about going to all these places (for different reasons). germany because ill be with a family for a few days where i dont speak the language much at all but i know bryan will be there most of the time. its just those few moments that im dreading. but mostly im worried about prague and budapest cause i cant even read czech or hungarian! i dont even know how to say yes or now. i guess ill learn. it should be a good experience. im soooo excited, dont get me wrong. i cant wait to see other parts of europe. ive heard so much about germany too that i cant believe im really going there. and the other cities ive never even thought about much in my life so the concept of going somewhere that i barely can think of as real (if that makes sense). i cant wait! im taking a night train tonight and im absolutely exhausted so hopefully ill just pass out and wake up happy and healthy in munich.

i ended up staying in siena the last 2 weekends. we had planned on staying one of them and then we (a bunch of friends from here) were going to go to Capri/Pompeii/Sorrento but it just became so far and so expensive for the amount of time that we would be going. im glad tho, i felt like i was more a part of siena, meeting people (kind of, though other people, i could say hi to them on the street probably so that means i met them right?) and just feeling not really at home here but something like that. siena's an easy place to feel at home since its small but enough going on and such.

it's gotten so touristy here! i cant believe the change even in the last 3 weeks or so. i guess its only gonna get worse. ohhhh well. im always so jealous when i see them cause ill be walking to class and theyre just mosseying (sp?) around on vacation. but they only get to be here for a few days, im here for a few months :)
