Brett

I just came across this picture again and thought I would share it. It's Brett and I on our last night together. We went to The Chart House in Weehawken and had a great night. I miss him and can't wait to see him!

Cinema

So I went out for the first time last night with a new friend. Manuela's brother is 24 and he took me out to the movies. It was very interesting. We saw Evan Almighty, entirely in Italian so it was very hard for me, actually a lot harder than I thought it would be because they talk so fast. But I got the jist of it and it was an interesting experience. They have an intermission in the middle of all their movies, so funny, but kinda nice if you have to go to the bathroom.

It was very nice to finally go out with someone and he was really nice. We had a good conversation and I think we are going out tonight as well to see some of his friends play in a band. So that should be fun too.

On another note, I am in a very good mood because almost everything is finally working here now. I have a new cell phone, and this one is so much better. I understand how to use it and I can send and recieve text messages!! My new number is 3465909150 but to call or text from America you need to dial 01139 and then the number.

I'm also excited because I got my webcam to work, so now when I talk to people on Skype they can see me, very exciting.

And, I am able to watch Grey's Anatomy, which is the best news of all because ABC.com won't let people watch their online shows outside of America. But thanks to Meagan I found another website where I can watch them, even the new ones, so exciting because I am already hooked again after one episode!

I think that's all for now!

Ciao!

Flowers

and flowers complete the place....

I think this was the first time I have actually bought flowers. I am very proud of myself and they look beautiful. It's weird that this is the first time I will be actually living on my own and it is in Italy...who knew?

View and apartment again

Here's a few more pictures, the view from my apartment and my apartment now that it's all clean and decorated...it looks much better than the other pictures.

Entertaining....

So I found this really entertaining. Yes that is a shopping cart in the middle of my kitchen! I had too many bags and since the grocery store is right downstairs I just figured I would bring the whole thing upstairs. Haha. So of course I had to take a picture. :)

...maybe I'm just easily entertained nowadays....

Federico and Skype

Here is Federico on Saturday morning, driving the car.. He is so cute. He really makes me laugh, and he is pretty much used to me by now I think. I am only getting happier and happier that I am here. I went grocery shopping today (I have a little story and picture that I will post maybe tomorrow) and bought food for my apartment so now I am all set except for my TV (its coming) and the gas and hot water. But it feels good to be independent and almost completely settled.

On another note, I have just successfully used Skype for the first time over here so I encourage everyone to download it (skype.com) because it is a way to talk through your computer for free. You just need a microphone (some computers already have them). I even have a webcam that I am currently working on installing so I can have video conversations too!! :)...this is all very exciting to me..so everyone go download skype so I can talk to you!
