Italia calls.

Current Mood: Brooding. And I can't sleep.
Squeak squeakity squeak squeakem.

I feel a Disney kick coming on. Which is really quite unfortunate for me right now, because not only do I have things to study for, but I only own two movies - all the other ones are back in Orlando. Probably collecting dust. Poor, neglected movies. I think I might steal them next time I go home. Spring break, it will be.

I also desperately miss being overseas, all of a sudden. Italy, Greece, the UK, France. Last summer I was fortunate enough to go on this trip abroad with a group called People to People. Maybe somebody's heard of them? Well, I went on this "European Odyssey" and I had an amazing time - it was like a dream come true. No, scratch that. It WAS a dream come true. To see so many historic places.. to think that I was actually in the Coliseum, in the Louvre, in the old Roman Forum, in the place where they filmed "My Fair Lady", climbing up the acropolis to find the Parthenon... yeah. Words cannot describe how wonderful that entire month was. And it wasn't even a month - we went to four countries, countless beautiful pieces of history, in three short weeks.

You can't imagine how many pictures I took.

And I miss it all so much. Especially Italy. I hope I go back there one day. Just to see all those narrow, winding streets, the red roof tops and gorgeous, green landscapes again would be absolute bliss. To go and actually be able to spend an entire day in one spot, instead of hopping along quickly to get them all in, to just sit back in the Square of Miracles and enjoy the view.. There's a lot of things I would sell for that.

I hope that I dream of Venice, and of the Vatican, of St. Peter's Basilica and Notre Dame, that beach in Greece, Mt. Vesuvius, and every other landmark or monument we visited.

Sometimes my memories of it all seem so dreamlike - as though I still can't believe I was actually there, standing where thousands of years ago, Caesar might have stood. That's just frankly amazing to me. I wish I had my pictures or my journal here with me. Sort of like proof. Yes, Megan, you really were there.

I'm going to go pass out now.
