Back to reality.

So as you can tell, there hasn't been any posting since the family arrived. This is because we had little time to breath, let alone write in a silly little blog. But here we are, three people short of a full tenement apartment, and things are starting to seem really empty.

It's time to swing back into things after missing tons of class and work. New things going on... I go a job! Thank God! I work at a restaurant across the street from the Colosseo and it has been great so far. I am only supposed to be working lunch, but last night I worked until 1 while the scum of Rome danced and drank all night. I was severely grossed out by bronzed, boozed party promoters with their slicked back hair and white smile, schmoozing with drunk girls and bossing me around. Never again, says I.

Anyway, lunch is so nice to work, because it is busy with lost of tourists that are excited to be sitting across from the most recognizable monument in the world. Everyone is so nice, and I love meeting all new people. Salvatore is the host, and he is this wonderful older guy that was born in Mondello... paesano! So was stand around and talk about Palermo all day... what more could I ask for? And it is a healthy blend of speaking English to customers and only in Italian to everyone I work with. Life is good.

I have really been missing out on the school part of life, and I may or may not have a paper due tomorrow.

Things are busy, but eventually everything will even out. Look out for emails from my mommy with all of the pictures from their stay here.

Forza Palermo!
