GRADUATION!

So its official, I can no longer consider myself a college student... (well, after July 21st I cant, dangit summer school) now what do I do with my life?

I hope that with my college degree I won't have to do this:


But something more along the lines of this:



Alas, that is not the reality that is life, so I will be seeking employment in the real world reallll sooon. In the meantime, I will relish the last pieces of college life.


YAAAAAAAY! All done!

Cortina D'Ampezzo

Some photos from snowboarding in the Alps this past weekend, the weather could not have been better, and it was so much fun spending the weekend with the fam, even if Nicolò and I had to gypsy our way back to Rome (taking the train on Carnevale weekend from Venice is never a good plan, especially when you are trying to get on an earlier one....)

Pitstop for a quick drink and photo


My lame attempt to be artsy, its cool though since you can see the wind patterns on the snow, obvi it was super windy over in this area of Tufana

Sometimes you just need a good ol' bed jumpin'

So Barcelona was an amazing time, I'll talk more about that later. for now, enjoy this fine film capturing that I took in our gross hostel in Barca, not only do you get a picture of what our room was like, (mind you we shared it with 5 british guys who were there for a bachelor party weekend, something wrong with that picture) but had a pretty good preview of what our night was like, lots of stubbin'.

The patio outside Circolo Degli Artisti


Dance dance dance!!

Jamie Lidell, love the gold blazer

So one of my goals while in Rome was to go to a concert. I somehow managed to stumble upon a newspaper listing for a Jamie Lidell concert, and so off we went! at first we were kind of sketched out, but the venue ended up being A-mazing. There was a huge outdoor patio with a bar and lots of tables, and then inside they had the concert. Jamie put on a great show, def worth 19 euro. We were the only ones really dancing, but how can you not dance to Jamie??

A picture is worth 1,000 words...

Nothing describes a scene better than a picture, at least it does for me thanks to my short lived attention span. This was on our 6th day of school in a row, yes, we had class on a Saturday, or at least an organized form of education in Orvieto. It was definitely worth going, there were some awesome sights to be seen, especially this one, notice the scowl in the background. Story of everyday of our lives. In Rome. Joy!
Check out the duomo at night:

In Rome, and some thing from home

So, made it to Rome, no disasters or tragedies (minus the sick girl on the plane, ew) and now I have to get over this jet-lag thing, I dont think my brain is working straight, but this video Haley sent me made me laugh at the ridiculousness of some people, I mean REALLY just collecting the boxes of mac and cheese??? I hope he like oh I dunno EATS the mac and cheese cause thats like the best part right? "I believe the future of mac and cheese lies overseas," would have to be the key line here.

GOODBYE 2008

Can this year be over any sooner??? Starting from a canceled flight at the beginning of the year to a non-existent new years eve, I don't think 2008 was meant for me. So thank god for 2009, new president and hopefully positive changes that come with it, along with a fresh start in Rome I can't wait to be there with new adventures to come!

Some fave pics of 2008:
