I arrived in Florence today. I left yesterday on the 12th at 6pm from JFK airport. I had a 4 hour layover in Paris, France and then on to Florence, Italy I went. The apartment is kind of small but it's really nice. It has 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms, a nice kitchen, and a beautiful garden/front yard area. I met all the girls. They all seem pretty nice. Two of the girls are kind of party girls and one of the girls is a vegetarian. They all drink though. Two party it up and the other two drink wine with dinner.
We ventured out to the larger supermarket that's probably a good 20 minutes walk. I don't think I want to shop at another American supermarket again! I've never seen sooo much fresh produce, meats, cheeses, just everything! It was amazing. I actually had a hard time trying to do some food shopping cause I was in such awe of this place. And the stuff is pretty cheap too! Even when you add the 30% for conversion to American, it's still amazingly cheaper than food shopping back in the states. I know I haven't seen anything but the airport really but this place has a great mixture of modern and old.
After dinner (pasta of course) we went to the gelato shop that's right down the block from our apartment. We are all sooo in trouble! That place is SUPER cheap and freaking delicious and amazing! It's just really awesome to be here.
On the flip side of that, I really, really miss my family and my boyfriend. I know I only just got here, but I miss them all. I know I went to school about 3 1/2 hours away from my home but I still was able to come home now and again, I could talk/text my family, friends, and boyfriend, I got to see people I knew everyday. I don't ave that here. The internet in the apartment is shotty and there's no privacy so it's not like I can really skype with my boyfriend or family. I'm used to being able to see my boyfriend often and getting to talk to my boyfriend pretty much everyday and getting to talk to my family very often. I'm going to ask my mom if she'll put the international plan on my phone and I'll pay for it just so I can use my cellphone because the internet phone that I have may not really work that well because the internet connecting in the apartment is not great. I'm just so worried about my relationship with Bobo and everything. I hate having an adjustment disorder and depression. It makes things like this seem a million times worse.
