first world problems

[E.C.A.M.B.S.]

I want to get in touch with one of my childhood friends whom I haven't seen in years. But I'm sure she has lots of new friends so I'm probably history to her now.

Procrastinated my report again and now I am trying to hurry up and do it.

i do not like naples. some guy pulled over and tried to get me and my roommate into his car and rolled alongside us for a block before driving away, and then we got to the train station and a group of boys surrounded us and started molesting us until i came an inch from decking one of them in the face

so yeah my personal recommendation: go anywhere else. maybe to rome where it can be 5:30 AM and a guy will start yelling disgusting things at you or you cant order in a mcdonalds because there's 3 different tables of guys shouting at you. before 6 am.

im glad to be back in florence where the guys still cat call you but they don't overdo it... but i can't wait to be back in america where i might get cat called a couple times a month.

Yeah I thought Naples was pretty mean streets but ya know, Pompeii and Vesuvius are there so???

I stayed in a little village above Sorrento (Sant Agata) when I was there and it's a completely different world to Naples idk if you went there.


My fwp is that my flat mates for some reason don't know how to use a sink

i didn't make it to sorrento-- no time. i did go to vesuvius and pompeii though! pompeii was nothing like what i was expecting, i thought it was gonna be a lot smaller but it was huge! i made a lame joke to my roommate like "they must have been like, hey, lets build a village right by this beautiful mountain, what can go wrong?"

i loved mount vesuvius! im a mountain person though, me and my roommate both. we hike mountains because they're nature's version of a challenge, and they're there. they need to be climbed.


obligatory panoramic of me at the summit

most touristy mt i've been to so far... my first "active" volcano i've hiked, i did a dormant one in Costa Rica and a couple regular mountains in my home state.

edit: and by an inch i mean i swung and came an inch from breaking his nose. what a regret i didn't get to disfigure him, but he screamed like a beech

I asked a friend if she wanted to go thrifting since she seems like the type of person who would like to do that sort of thing and volunteering has taught me that there are a few hidden gems to be found in charity shops and I'm guessing military surplus shops but I'm not sure about the latter since it's surplus military gear.

Anyway, she said no and that she didn't have money so I said that it's okay and not to worry and that we should do it when she can and that it's up to you. Pretty sure that she was hinting that she didn't want to do it at all so I say it's okay and leave it but I think that she thinks I took offence or something or maybe she is genuinely skint and I've just locked her out of my activity circle because she didn't have the money.

I really hope it's not the latter since I'm skint 95% of the time and I've only got money right now because I don't like spending my grant because it doesn't feel like my money.

Dunno. It's like... I'm not sure what happened. I feel bad about something and I don't know what it is.

I know what you mean about Pompeii, we didn't get to see it all because it is genuinely huge!

Vesuvius is incredible, when we went up our panoramic shots were all really rubbish because it was a misty day (in the middle of summer???) and we brought my grandad with us, too.

That was way back in 2012, but I've sort of caught the active/dormant volcano bug now because we climbed three in Tenerife the other year too. Probably something to do with my brother studying Volcanology and that lmao.

If you get the chance though you should totally go to Sorrento or Amalfi, they're really beautiful places to be :-)

The Lone Wanderer comes from Vault 101 in Fallout 3.

I mean, the Sole Survivor is cool, but he's no Courier.

my right foot hurts and walking is painful. i finally get back to the apartment and i'm ready to do some sketching for my homework, and get studying for my italian exam in 2 days. i walk in the door and realize i forgot to buy laundry detergent. well, that sucks, but i'll make the roommate get it. then i get ready to do the sketch and realize... i still need to grab it. it's a 15 minute walk away but my foot is in so much paiiiin

[The Shrub Dragon]

i slipped over bc i was sprinting w a loose shoe and like im fine but my little toe and the bone going down from it just kind of doesn't feel right like im sure it's fine as im weightbearing and have full range of movement (though both are painful) n its a little bit bruised but not massively so just agh why

[Kpyna]

^ i literally feel you right now

i have a date tonight with the italian guy. he wanted to go to a club but this was kinda the best day for both of us and no clubs were open, so we're just going to go to an irish pub that's in town. they got Kilkenny Stout on tap so no doubt we're getting a pitcher of that... well, unless he hates stout. But it's my favorite beer and we don't have it in america. i'm just like... super nervous. i don't know, it's kind of difficult for me because obviously english isn't his first language so sometimes i find him hard to understand and if the pub is too crowded it will only make it more difficult. and i'm like, what if we run out of things to talk about, all of that stuff... and then on top of that i don't even know why i'm going out with an italian guy i'm going to have to leave in a couple months!

oh wait i do its because he's too hot for me to say i'm not interested in spending time with him... but yeah i just don't want him to consume my life or anything or else it will be really really hard to leave florence? i mean its too late for that we talk almost every day :s

Turns out we didn't need to site things from the slideshow in our paper, so there's two hours of compiling citations i'm never getting back.

I ordered a dessert to eat at home and when I took it out of the bag I found an eyelash floating in there...
