It was pretty quiet here in Florence this weekend. The majority of our group, including my roommate, went out of town to Paris or Switzerland, so the few of us who stuck around in Florence spent a lot of time together. It was nice, the change-up of having a smaller group. There didn't seem to be as many tourists either (always nice). I was able to see the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella which is something I had been wanting to do since I got here. It's been just over a month now! And it's going by so quickly. But not like a normal semester of school back home where time seems to slip away from me and I don't know what I've done with it; here has been a month of truly living.
Today though I am really missing the sun. I hope it comes to find us here in Florence sooner than later... I think the cold is starting to seep inside of me. I don't think homesick is the word to describe where I'm at right now, but maybe a tad lonely? Shame. I've never admitted that feeling to myself before I don't think. A girl just needs someone to love her in the morning sometimes! It'd sure help get her day started.
I've also got some hefty papers and mid-terms ahead of me in the next few days, so that might have something to do with this listlessness. Right now calls for some time in the Psalms and my blue oversized sweater, it always does the trick.
