mwahaha

yesterday i went to siena with lauren and kenny. ran into jarett (which could have been worse, i suppose) and bought some gifts (movie posters in italian!). ate crappy chinese food and then bought cheap good underwear. very exciting. poor boys were waiting outside for us the entire time.

last night we had a farewell dinner, which was quite lovely (mainly the atmosphere, not the food). everyone dressed up and took pictures and drank and had a overall great time. delightful is the word i'm looking for.

afterward we came back to lauren and stephanie's (after a quick stop at the piazza grande for some "free" vino taste testing and i stole a glass and lauren stole a wine opener). by the time everyone came over i realized that this night was going to be too good not to record so i ran back home and grabbed my shit and got back in time to catch matt finishing (more like demolishing) maroon 5. the night then proceeded with tanto singing, molto drinking, story time, kenny peeing, people letting their true feelings known, an italian woman SCREAMING at us, and then everyone going their separate ways while i hid in a dark street for 30 minutes to avoid those who must not be named.

last night was great and i feel it was a great way to end the trip. granted, we'll have tonight to do stuff, but we leave for the airport at 1am. i think tonight will just be hanging out and enjoying the last night here. i'm sad i'm leaving, but not as sad as i thought i would be. give it time though. as soon as someone starts crying i doubt i'll be able to hold it back. hell, it's almost a guarentee that i'll cry.

i need to keep in touch with these people. NEED to.

lauren and stephanie i will see a lot next year, so i'm not upset about them. the people i will miss are those that i have grown accostumed to. kessler, jenny, kenny, greg, eli, josh, kevin, maris, and on and on. God. i don't even want to think about it. kessler and i are going to visit each other all the time and i'll make trips to kennesaw to see the art kids. too many bonds have been formed on this trip and i'm not about to let distance tear them apart. i love these people and i can say that and truly mean it.

okay, i need to finish buying stuff. by the time i post again i'll be back home and it will be one of the saddest and depressing posts in the world.
