From Jane

Remember those earlier days after you received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourself had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while, 'He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.' But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved!
Hebrews 10:32-39

Well, I feel like writing something, but I don't know exactly what I want to write about.

I'll start with the day. Today it was sunny and warm outside for the first time in a while. It's finally beginning to feel like Spring here. I have only two weeks of classes left and two weeks of "special events" and finals. Then two more weeks of travel in Europe before I head home.

It's all passing too fast.
I'm going to miss a lot of stuff here.
Especially going to the Italian grocery stores and planning meals.
I won't have time for that at home.
I miss my car.
Tired of public transportation.
Tired of the music on my ipod. I need to change it out.
But I my computer is gone.
Watched a chick flick with one roommate yesterday.
Prince and Me.
What if I met a Prince and he asked me to be queen?
I'd probably say yes.
I'd make a good queen.
And a crown would look good on me.
Then I woke up.
I'm going to be a senior next year.
I have to plan for that.
Wonder what this next year of school has for me.
Wonder if anything new will happen.
I hope so.
If not, I'll want to come back here.
It would be wonderful to have some sort of job that requires going to places outside the US.
I'm going to plan on that.
Been meeting a lot of new people.
People with various sorts of backgrounds and beliefs.
It kinda inspires me.
I want to know their story.
Be love.
Been hearing a lot about the declining US economy.
Worries me a little.
The US has a lot of problems.
But all over the world there are problems.
Haven't heard from anyone from home in a while.
I wonder what is going on over there.
Gas prices here are insane.
1.36 euro??
Did I see that right?
Not sure.
Now that i've seen a lot of Italy, I want to go home and see a lot more of Cali.
I know that in Fresno we are surrounded by great places.
Why don't I travel more there?
Stupid gas prices.
Oh, the politics.
I'm so scatterbrained.
My roommate and I found a running path made specifically for running and it is the best thing.
I'm going to go for a run now.
It is 3:35pm.

Rome

Oh, Alessandro.

Bologna and Verona

First, Bologna.

Above, Verona. The "home" of Romeo and Juliet.

NOT what you think it is.
