Since I am in so high demand....

I must blog again....*note to self* peer pressure gets to me

Another guy (Francesco) accepted Christ the day after Paola and Nunzia accepted Christ! YAY! I wasn't there, but Gayle was, so go to the Roosters' blog (linked over there ---->) to check it out....

So, what to blog about....no clue!

Well, we got divided up into ministry teams....and I got put on the "Go Team!" Team....I get to arrange travel, plan team nights, and my newly assigned role to myself is making cheers! I am getting pretty good at it.....if you're feeling down, just call me and I can brighten your day!

Hmm...lets see, what else....I have nothing to amuse myself with! Or you guys!

I HAVE bought the season pass for the Office.....so I am living week to week for new episodes to come out....

oh! I have something to comment about! So, something happened in blog-world....or maybe something was in the water...AROUND THE WORLD....because people who haven't updated their blogs in like EVER went on rampages! *ahem*cough*Andy*cough*Katie*ahem* Well, maybe just those 2....

So we have had a couple attempts to get the new believers from the summer project together with dinners and barbecues.....and guess what? they won't show up! Its so weird....we made chili and taco salad last night and none of the new believers came, just our old friends.....at least we got to pig out on good ol' american food!

Unlike our northern friends, we're not privvy to the opportunity to go to a CHOCOLATE festival, but having that much chocolate might be bad for us....

Next week, we ARE going to Florence! I am so excited to see all my peeps! Its for a national campus ministry meeting, so we actually have to WORK, but its still GREAT :-D

So on a more serious note, (I might as well go deep on this thing once in a while) I am having a hard time here.....I was so used to things last year, so when its a 180* change from what I knew before, it is expected to be a shock....but I think it might be even worse. I find myself living in the past, wishing things were like they were last year, just because they are easier to go back to instead of learning new things....there are a lot of issues that I am unhappy with for a second and then I get unbelievably down on myself for being unhappy in the situation....its a viscious cycle. On top of the fact that I am trying to keep a lockdown on my finances, and the team eats out all the time, so I feel like I am being anti-social. Then another issue I just discovered this week is the fact that I have no life here. I had all these friends last year, all these places to go and people to see, but now, since all my team has done so far is be busy beyond belief and hang out with each other, I haven't seen ANY of my Italian friends since I have been back except for on campus. I mean its not their fault, maybe even mine, but still, its frustrating. So if you think about it, pray for me!

that may be all.....everybody keep updating your blogs!

:)
