This would be my song of the week, Make you happy- Josh Pyke. <3
So, this week I listened to the entire Prisoner of Azkaban book in 2 days at school- I will never fall out of love with Harry Potter. Even after a particularly unfortunate afternoon with Mr. Pesce, I though “Wow, I don’t need boys. I have Harry”. I knew deep down it wasn’t true, but that’s just about how involved I am. Soon, I’ll move on to the 5th and 6th! I wish I had all the other audio books!
Yesterday, I met the english professor from Boston, Gerry, in the piazza and she gave me two wicked new books. I started yesterday morning with “Summer Sisters” by Judy Blume- english literature is scarce here. I’m actually totally loving it, and once I finish this blog I’ll go finish it. I’ve got about 2 chapters left! Woo! 400 pages in 2 days. 
On Sunday I’m going with Iemma’s to Amalfi- should be a blast! And on tuesday, they go to Rimini, so I’ll head over there after school and stay with them for about 4 days to babysit. I’m excited, but afraid of telling Rita! I’m going to have Maurizio call and ask tomorrow. Honestly, It would be good for me to get out of the house a bit.
When I’m there, I’m totally planning on cooking Kugel for the boys- yum for Jewish food. We’ll have to go shopping to get all the ingredients! I need to find extra wide egg noodles, sour cream, and some other yummy things. And raisins!
I never really wrote about the wedding, if I remember correctly. I was surprised by how the groom never really kissed the bride. I mean, pecks, but no you are the love of my life kisses. It was a bit strange, really, because I’ve seen so many perfect wedding movies. The entire wedding consisted of yummy food, and my favorite part was the sorbet that came after the 1st second course. Lawl for 1 million course meals.
I’m enjoying my friendships at school these days. Miluccio breaks my balls, however he’s a sweety pie and I wish I could spend more time in Italy- I think we could become really good friends. I’m good friends now with Mr. Boom, which just makes me giggle. He’s the biggest sweety pie in the universe and he makes me laugh. My other good friend these days is Denise, who is funny and caring and always makes me smile. Also, Chiara is always happy to see him, considerate, and always a fabulous friend. She’s always the one to think of including me and always is the first to say “where’s alex?” if she can’t find me.
Today was fabulous, so I don’t want to come home, but in general I’m starting to prepare myself for coming home. Tonight especially was fabulous, so as I’m sitting here, I wouldn’t be to stoked to be heading home, but within the past week I’ve been thinking quite a bit about it and how refreshing it will be.
Today after school we went to eat at blue orange, Carmello, Denise, Lau, Troisi, Chiara, Alfredo, Brigida, Carmine and one other girl I don’t remember her name. After blue orange, we walked around in the piazza a bit and then went to some church gig for school. I sat with Denise and Simone bored out of my mind, until we finally went outside, where I immediately ran into Rita. FML. Whatever.
Later, I went into the piazza with Chiara and Roberta and ended up falling asleep on a bench in the sunshine. I was SO exhausted. It was an amazing nap though, and I’m not really too fussed about the figura di merda. I needed some sleep. Came home, read my fabulous book, then went to the pool.
Laughed with Gerardo in the car, and when I got to the pool the love of my life, Gaetano, happened to be working- score! He grabbed my hand, winked at me AND made a kissy face at my when I came in. SCORE! He also winked at me later while I was swimming, and held out his arms huggy like as I was leaving. HE. MAKES. ME. MELT. I’m so in love with him, and Gerardo teases me about him.
Gerardo is a sweety pie too! We divided up the lane tonight, so I got right and he got left and I slowed down a bit to swim next to him the whole time. He’s such a little goof ball, and it doesn’t hurt that Gaetano sees me and him joking around with each other all the time. Today, the second person this week asked if he was my boyfriend. I said “no, my boyfriend is Gaetano” and we both laughed.
