beautiful day in the neighborhood

So I am sitting at my kitchen table. Listening to Mariah Carey Christmas (I can't help it), waiting for my zucchini bread to be out of the oven (it smells like heaven on earth right now), and procrastinating on studying for my Italian quiz tomorrow (don't worry, I already studied a lot).

Exactly 1 month from today I will be flying home. 1 month. That's it. I feel like I got here yesterday.

But I had a really good day today. Did my Perugia thing. I ran this morning, which wasn't that great to be honest. I am training for this half marathon that's in January and I had this tempo thing this morning. But my legs kind of feel like someone put them through a meat grinder. BUT it was beautiful out. So it ain't no thang. Then I stopped at church on my way to class. Confession: I haven't been to church in a while so I needed to send some love up to the big guy. You know what I'm saying? But going into a church here is like walking into an art museum. It's just gorgeous. Mind blowing.

Then I went to my Italian class, got a little espresso because I was about to fall asleep. That stuff is a miracle worker let me tell you. Then I studied for a little bit, meandered home, ate some vegetable soup (its all I've been eating for the past 3 days... low on money), studied some more, walked to photography class... which ended up getting cancelled! Even though I kind of love my pictures for this week and wanted my teacher to see them (nerd girl problems). I sat on the steps of a church and talked to my dad on the phone. Went to school and studied a little more.

I stopped at this little shop on my way home to buy a bread pan and proceeded to knock over an entire display of pans. oops. The lady working there was pretty nice about it though so no worries. Or she just wanted me to get the hell out of there.

I ate tuna fish for dinner. Made my bread. And now here I am.

And guess what? This is just a typical day. Filled with beautiful walks, churches, cooking... These are the kinds of days I'm going to miss the most.

Anywaysssss make some zucchini bread (that's one of my top 2 favorite food blogs by the way...)

It smells like heaven. I'm serious.

Ciaozies.
