Ciao! She's Back!

Omg it has been a long day...but I'm back! Yes, I'm here in rainy U.S when Italy had such fine weather...really, every day was spectacular. No time to chat now: I have so much to do, such as unpack, write letters, try to get a hold of my friends in preparation for my long day of school tomorrow. I hope no one thinks I'm dead; there was that earthquake in L'Aquila (I was in Venice when it happened, and didn't even feel it; same with Florence when the aftershock hit. Funny to think that I was less than 200 miles away) and they might get the scare of their life tomorrow!
