Let it snow, let it snow, in Rome!
Today la bella Roma was even more bella,
as it was covered in a blanket of white!
Snow in Rome Italy? Who woulda thunk it?
My english lessons were cancelled, as trains were cancelled,
and I was loving just spending time at home with a few girlfriends,
with hot chai tea and the latest episodes of "Pan Am."
And of course a day off also means
spending way too much time on pinterest,
and exploring new blogs.
Lovely randomness I found today:
Coffee art.
Happy I'm cuddled up, warm, and not lost here.
Superbowl burger-brownies.
How could you not be organized with these!
The perfect Irish Coffee for a white snowed-in day.
100 must read books: the essential man's library.
Valentines Day gifts to hint at.
"Numerous Drawings" by Shipley and Halmos.
A great sale.

Everything sounds better in French
It's true.
Let's *sigh* together
And dream of the adventures to be had in France.
Can you see it in their eyes?
They're telling you it's time to be reunited with France...
Or better yet introduced (:

Glad that's over
Tried my best {in the moment} for an oral exam,
which I by no means was prepared for.
Because I am the world's craziest procrastinator.
There's no doubt about it.
Let's just say I passed, but barely...why do I do this to myself?
Here in Italy, the professor "chooses" whether he
wants his exam to be written or oral.
But lets just be real with ourselves
{a phrase that does not exist in Italian, ha}
they always choose oral.
Which for me is just a date with disaster.
Yes I can speak Italian,
but taking an exam in Italian is totally different ):
I don't have the same way of fluffing up my answers like I do in English!
Capisci?
And on top of everything, I blurted out the worst question possible
when the professor told me I was finished.
"Ho fatto male?"
Which means...
"I did bad, didn't I?"
Seriously Angela?
Anyways,
I decided not to let this sunny Thursday be any less bright after that disaster.
Did some vintage shopping with my good friend Ioana
{who you will see in the following pictures}
We also shopped for soap.
Pizza and friends make everything better don't they?
Looking forward to a free Friday,
which I plan to spend eating quesadillas, drinking tea,
and watching Downton Abbey (:

Exam preparation
If you ask me,
studying properly should consist of
a little procrastination
and a lot of coffee.

R.I.P. 50 million Americans
Though I would love to blog about my night on the beach
learning capoeira, and snapping pictures splashing through the waves with friends,
here in Rome it has been January 23rd for over an hour,
which is a very important day for me.
You see,
39 years ago today a crime was legalized in my country.
More than 50 million American babies have been aborted, and
that's not the kind of thing I brush aside and don't talk about.
I am a passionate person
and what I am most passionate about is people.
Tomorrow Americans will protest in Washington D.C.
Though I would give anything to be there, I am not,
and so I can only pray and hope from here.
I thought I'd share some of my shots from last years march.
{The duct tape sign's pretty rad}
