There is no skin on my knees or elbows.

Don't worry, it's not that bad. I am, if you're reading for the first time, the goalie for our school soccer team. The turf we play on is awful and I have henceforth destroyed my elbows and knees from making saves / diving for shots that I missed.

We were supposed to only have one game last and after our first one - a 5-0 loss to the best team in the league - we were informed we had a game at 815 as well. So we got all prepped for our 815 and then were told it was at 840. Heck of a good game which ended in a 4-3. I totally blew the last goal. The tournament was a TON of fun and the soccer team was the first place that I've made some pretty good friends here. We have an only girls tournament next week which I'm really looking forward to.

Classes for the end of the week went well. Liza, Merritt, and I are going to do a group project for Lit Travels and Prof. Nicholson informed me that I will probably be playing one of the more important roles in the Importance of Being Earnest.

I'm crazy excited. I'm heading out right now to meet people at Savonarola and then out to a bar somewhere.

I probably won't go to sleep tonight seeing as though I need to be at school at 4am to catch our bus to Sicily!! I will be gone until Monday night so don't check for an update...(Katie).

I'm super excited - as I said.

Hello to all of you reading this and to those who may be hearing about it.

I miss everyone at home dearly, just so you know!

To my 'Cuse buddies: Have a blast this weekend with Homecoming and wear some orange for me!

Vado!
