Jun. 12th, 2006 02:57 pmHello everyone! Guess where I am right now.
You probably never will, unless I've mentioned this to you before - I'm in Firenze/Florence, Italy. At an internet stop, because I am a good little internet addict and am feeding my addiction. It's just me and my friend, who is about my age, so we're essentially "on our own". Heh.
Lovely place, Italy - the flight was awful, as the pilot we had for the last leg of the journey (yes, it was a connecting flight. Twice) did not know how to fly. Just in GETTING to Firenze, we passed through Amsterdam (aka, the place with the Longest Airport Known To Man - my feet have felt better walking through all of Firenze for a full day than they did just from getting to our next gate in that place. And I'm a veteran of O'Hare in Chicago.) and Turin (yes, Olympics place. They were evil there and made us get off the place, onto a bus, through security and everything, back onto the bus, then back onto the very same plane...which they hadn't even cleaned while we were gone. So there was no point, they were just being irritating.)
Note to all of you - if travelling in Europe, never take anything that isn't carry-on. We had only carry-on here, and even so we barely made our connecting flights in time. Also, they smoke way too much here, and Firenze is v. v. pretty.
For those of you that didn't know, my school has not, in fact, let out yet - as a senior, I'm excused from all finals in which I have an A-range average. This week is finals week, so I'm generally excused - I may have to take a final in Physics on Tuesday which is the last day of finals, but I'll be finding out today whether or not I am. I really hope not - I'm missing some "exam review days" on this trip. That said, I'm not complaining, I'd rather be here.
Finally: this is a european keyboard, which lets us do some cool keystrokes: Ñ,Ë,í,á...wheee!
