I have been severely neglecting this blog and it looks like I've fallen off the face of the earth. But fear not, I'm not dead yet, and I've been super busy. So. Here are some things that I've been up to:

My boyfriend and I went on a trip to London for a weekend in December and we went to the science museum and the British museum! This was at the science museum, taken for his sister, who loves dinosaurs :)
After my term ended, I spent Christmas in Naples with the bf and his family. It was a nice change from the traditional Polish Christmas meal that my family makes, but I missed them a lot. The families got to meet for the first time via skype!
Then it was off to....
 |
| My computer is being finicky presently, so these are sideways. Sorry. |
Paris! My family flew in in early January, and we spent 5 days out of the 2 weeks that they were here in Paris.
 |
| Our hotel was right down the street from the Moulin Rouge! And the porno district! |
 |
| Flew into Pisa. |
We spent the rest of the time in Italy.
 |
| Then a train to Florence. |
 |
| Roma! |
 |
| Siena |
I took my parents to Naples also, but I really didn't take any photos with my camera because it's almost broken. After they left, I went back up north, and visited Siena for the first time. It was really cute. I also saw the preserved head of Saint Catherine and that was very cool.
So. That was very brief, and there was a lot more that has been going on with finals, then bf's family visiting, then my family visiting, then moving back to Florence, then beginning classes again. I've been traveling only to Naples or in the general area of Florence due to budgeting issues (my bank account came down with poor college student syndrome indefinitely), but I've been visiting a lot of interesting places in Naples, like Sulfatara (a volcanic crater that spews sulfur fumes) and I visited an island in the bay of Naples area, Ischia. They are both very beautiful places, and hopefully there will be some photos coming for my diligent readers (jk I don't have those :p ).
Also, here's some of the stuff that I've been working on:
 |
| Work in progress for Florence Sketchbook |
 |
| Sideways pic of a print I developed for my Classic Photography class. |
 |
| Another sideways print, because my computer is finicky or I'm being lazy. |
 |
| And.... My desk. |
Well... That's the update. There definitely will be more work soon, but side projects are going a bit slow as I took on another class this term and I have a TON of reading. In Italian. So it's kind of eating my time. It's worth it because it's helping learning the language a lot, but there's nothing like speaking and practicing. Ciao!
