Wow.  It has been awhile since I updated this.  I don't know where to begin....

 Well, I guess I could begin with getting my hair cut.  I was so scared.  I didn't know where to go or how my hair would look.  Plus there's the whole language barrier thing, so that complicated things even more.  I asked at school where I could go get my hair cut, and Chicca recommended this place to me.  I looked at Chicca and asked her if she would allow Alessandro to cut her hair.  She hesitated and then said, "Sure."  I was not feeling at ease, but my hair really needed to be cut.  So I went and saw Alessandro (Sandrino).  I walked in and he started speaking to me in italian.  I just looked at him blankly because I didn't know any vocabulary relating to getting my hair cut.  Then I told him, in italian, that my hair was too long.  And he said "Madonna!"  I looked at him blankly again until he showed me a picture of her hair.  And I was like, umm, ok.  So I let him do what he wanted.  I let him cut my hair.  I loved it when he was finished.  I was really scared while he was razoring it, but it turned out great.  Best hair cut ever.  I love Sandrino.  He told me I was bellissima.  It was awesome.  Then he asked me if I would go out with him that night.  I laughed, of course.  My hair looks incredible.  So I was really happy about that.

Everything else that has happened evidently hasn't been as significant, or I wouldn't have forgotten it.  So I will think about what else I have done, where I have gone, and other odd/strange occurances in my life and write about them when I don't feel like doing the minimal amount of work/studying that I have to begin with.  Haha.  Life is good.

 By the way...Rachel and I are going to Austria the last weekend in October!  I'm so excited.  We are going to Vienna and Salzburg.  I can't wait.  Saturday Rachel and I are going to a chocolate festival in Perugia.  Yumm.  Next weekend I am going with school to Pompeii, Naples, and Capri.  Very excited for that one, too.  And in November, I am going to Greece with some girls from my school!  Can't wait for that one either.  That's all I have planned for now.  I am sure there will be more trips.  At least day trips from Rome.

Miss you all!  Ciao Ciao!
