Pronto? Bene!

A short post for today:

This week has been hectic because I have a huge paper for my Liberty & Power Class due on Monday and I can't seem to focus and actually get it done... :-/  I'm writing about Gender inequality in Thucydides', Plato's, and Aristotle's writings so you can imagine why it's taking me so long to actually settle down on one idea and rein it in. I guess I could thank my grandmother, great-grandmother, and many other female family members who have instilled upon me some wonderful genes, including a highly opinionated viewpoint when it comes to gender inequality. =D
So anyways, I'm trying to finish that up while at the same time keeping up with the increasing amount of homework and workload for my other classes, especially Italian. I'm pretty sure the right side of my brain is going to explode by the time mid-terms get here in two weeks. I'm craving some differential equations and algebraic expressions right about now..... :(


Important News:
This Monday- While sitting in Italian class, I went to bite at my cuticle as I do every other single day, yet that day, my tooth (which is already partly fake) decided to chip off at the corner. Many emotions ensued afterwards but the important things to know now are: #1) The devil sure is trying hard to throw all that he can into my path and rattle me and trying to make me think I'm without God's peace, but I can tell you he ain't got a chance anymore! At this point he can throw whatever he wants! I'm ready! Bring it on! #2) The tooth will be fixed... soon. That's just a whole other story in itself considering my location.... 
This weekend- I'm finally going to Chinque Terre! Friday morning bright and early, actually I don't even think the sun is up at this time, but a bunch of the students in this First-Year group that I'm in are heading out of the Florence train station by 6:30 and taking a day trip to "The Five Lands"!! Although we probably won't be relaxing on a beach as was my original plan before I left the homeland, we will be hiking between the islands which hits my sweet spot just as much as the beach!! I'm super-duper excited and can't wait! Expect a nice lengthy journal entry with many photos once I return (and have completed and turned in my Liberty & Power paper....).




Going to work on my paper now!


Ciao!


P.S. It's October!! Which means............ BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH!!!! WOOT WOOT! I challenge my readers to take 5 minutes out to either read an article online about the current issues pertaining to Breast Cancer Reserch and Treatment and Prevention and whatnot or to donate $5 to a Cancer Research cause... Preferrably Relay for Life 'cause they're the bomb.com =D Anyways, giving my little shout out for now! GO DO IT! Or else you'll feel really guilty for not!  ;-)
