A long gap between posts is a demonstration of being in denial that I have returned to the US. It's been a little over a month now that I have been home and oh how I miss Bologna. I would still go back in a heartbeat if offered the opportunity.
There is nothing that compares to such an amazing experience, 10 months, in a beautiful medieval city, with such wonderful friends. There are so many little things I have been missing over the past weeks. Things such as
- caffè latte with my mulino bianco breakfast cookies
- gelato at least once a day if not two, or three
- 3 euro bottle of wines
-people watching
- piazza maggiore
-daily intake of the italian language
- my apartment's terrace
- pace of life
-lack of PC in everything
- 1 euro espresso from La Oficina
- porticos
- sporadic traveling on weekends
- good, cheap pizza
- lemon soda
And thats just a start. I'm extremely envious of everyone who is still enjoying this beautiful country and I'm envious of those who get to start their academic year in Bologna with BCSP and anyone who is traveling abroad. I must get myself back as soon as possible. In the meantime I've finished my job search and will be working off my debt and putting money away so that I can head on overseas again.
