Heavens, What Is That Thing Sheilding The Duomo?

Why, that would be the Piazza Duomo Christmas Tree.

So, I am generally bad about blogging. It's not really that I don't have anything to say, or that I just run out of time in my day. Usually it's that when I get in a good blogging mood, say I just came home from Italian Class where I get to hang out with a bunch of cool kids, my host brother is on the computer. He is usually on it from when we get home from school until he goes to bed. He only takes breaks for meals. So, sometimes is it a miracle if I can get access to the computer for more than the 3 minutes I sneek in to check my email to make sure my Profs haven't sent me another homework assignment (which they do often).
But now, I beat him to the computer after lunch, and therefore won about 30 minutes. Huzzah.

It is getting colder here, it actually snowed which is beautiful in theory, not in your socks.
I hate the metro. I really should devote a whole post into How Much I Hate The Metro but I don't feel like navigating off my current page. Call me lazy.
But the metro is the worst branch of public transportation ever invented. And the only way I can get around. Because, unlike Portland, the public buses don't really go anywhere. But I also get really carsick on the roads here because Italian drivers are crazy and therefore make many sudden gut-wrenching stops and sharp turns. So, anyways, I have to take the metro to school and to my Italian class, and anywhere else I decide to go. On one hand, the metro can be relatively fast because it is underground, it doesn't cost much, and goes to any stop all around Milano. But, it is also this: A small compartment jammed full of people who breath and cough and don't wash their hands that try to steal from your bag in the stuffy space. Also, the conductors can choose to have a strike one day, and then there are less trains that purposely stop in the middle of the tunnel (while your in the germy compartment) for 20 minutes, just to prove to you how much you really DO hate the metro and shouldn't ride it anymore for the sake of their strike. Ugh...

But, I do really like this bottled tea called 'THE'.And it comes in Limone or Pesca(peach). It is so good.

And, I am posting my Christmas List, because I am a greedy little kid.
Actually this is by request, and no one has to send me anything. Just, if you want to, these things are preffered:
A Physics Book For Dummies (but I think H is sending me this already)
Looking For Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, and Paper Towns, all by John Green
Chameleon Circuit CD, should be coming out sometime in December
Skittles
Peanut Butter
Letters
Money

E basta. That's it.
