Count up to vacation.

First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize for the 11-day gap between my two most recent blobs.  Several of my constituents have communicated their disapproval and I feel deep shame for doing wrong by you all.  I hear you, the rest of the world hears you.  To atone, I made the considerable effort to turn off The Great British Bakeoff and write this post on time.

Secondly, I forgot to announce that I did indeed pass my last architecture exam and school is out for the summah!  No more studying for me until I decide to schedule the California state exam (hopefully by the end of the year).  WOO HOO.

Number three—I know my sister like I know my own mind, you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind.

Fourth and final point.  This time next week, Will and I will have convened with my family in Italy.  Buongiorno principessas!  To continue my atonement (see paragraph one), I pledge to blob for the next two weeks FROM ITALY.  (That is, if I do not succumb to deep vein thrombosis on the flight over.  Yes, I am worried about this.  Yes, I am a hypochondriac.  I’m already experiencing phantom DVT pain.)  Feel free to send along book/movie/sleep aid suggestions for the flight.  Till next time from Italia—ciao bellas!
