It's officially November

When did that happen? Time is alternately flying by and dragging with each day and each new experience.
October was:
+ Craziness with friends in the Kolej
+ A trip to Krakow and Auschwitz and Birkenau
+ Actually having a few assignments for school
+ My parents coming to visit. Spending time with them in Prague. Travelling with them to Germany and then meeting my friends in...
+ ITALY! Italy was: amazing, gorgeous, a refreshing break from eastern europe with some good weather thrown in the mix, a lot of mishaps (most of which worked out fine), feeling closer to friends, amazing art (the originals!! how crazy?!), ridiculous architecture, so much history everywhere, gondola rides in Venice, shopping, climbing 400something stairs to the top of the Duomo, seeing the DAVID!, mass with the Pope, the Sistine Chapel, the Colloseum, lots of silliness and sarcasm, and our favorite part... fabulous food (and unforgettable meals).
+Eastern Europe forgot about Halloween! TESCO (the "hyper market") is decked out in Christmas lights already!

November:
+hopefully to budapest and vienna (or at least one of them), maybe to Serbia, because we have two free tickets one way, or maybe a Czech spa or a Slovakian hot water park.... so many plans, so little time!
+Mollie, Nick and Rose visiting one CRAZY weekend
+work, maybe? naaah!
+The Christmas markets in Prague!

December?

I hope all of you have been enjoying everything and having lots of fun. I'm scared shitless that December is nearing, because I don't know where the time went. But the thought of seeing you all is pretty damn exciting! Until then... keep posting and stay warm and dry in all this crazy weather!
love,
