MODS

Ciao everyone!

I am so sorry I haven't updated this thing in like 20 days, its been entirely too long and for that I apologize. I know how much you all love to hear about my life...lets be honest, most people do. I have three weekends to catch you all up on, and after this coming one it will be 4!! I have just been so busy with everything here, and I'm off to Switzerland this tonight to go SKIING IN THE ALPS!!! If I didn't still have to pack and prepare a 6 minute oral presentation for my Italian class this afternoon, I would take the time to do it now. I'll do my best for next week though, although it is midterm week.

But I should let you all know that I GOT A MOD!!! I know you don't really know what that is, but its the BEST housing you could ask for Senior Year! For those of you who have been to BC, its the little community of the ugliest looking buildings that were set up in the 1970s for temporary housing. Mod is short for modular housing, so that should give you an idea of what they look like. They are tiny, cramped, but INCREDIBLE! It is where all the partying is, and all the tailgating for the football games. Ask my mama, she knows. They have little backyards with them and a BBQ, so good times will be had. Only a little more than a third of seniors get Mods, and they are the most coveted place to live, so for that I am very fortunate. Also, ALL OF MY FRIENDS got Mods! Senior year, here we come!! I'm on cloud 16B (our mod number).

Ok, I'm so sorry to be writing about BC while I'm supposed to be writing about Europe, but bear with me. I am so excited right now I can't even contain myself.

I guess while I'm on here I'll tell you about my dinner last night. I met a priest who works at the Vatican named Father Angelo, who has been going to Corpus Christi since 1993 and is a good friend of Carol Sanborn, my good friend Jessica's mother. She put me in touch with him and he took me out to a wonderful little restaurant where I ate fantastic fish and had great conversation. He introduced me to a friend of his, a young woman named Marianna, who is an international law student looking to improver her English. We talked the entire time in English to help her improve, but hopefully I'll be able to get some Italian practice out of this. They are both very nice and wonderful people. I'm so glad to have this contact now.

Ok time to pack, I'll do my homework later. This time tomorrow I'll be skiing on the Alps!!!

Baci Baci
