I haven't really been keeping y'all updated on my daily life over here, but it has mainly gone like this: work, procrastinate work, do necessary things, look at blogs about Italy. That's about all. BUT this week is a big one - I am graduating in 2 days!!! Well, not officially. I am walking on … Continue reading T Minus 2
