Sports and a Cold (WK. 8.3)

Hi everyone! Today was a pretty good day. When I woke up I had some chocolate peanut butter pie which was supposed to be for our dinner party tonight but our friends got sick and my uncle's flight got canceled. :( After breakfast we hung around a little bit and then we went to watch my team play a soccer game. Luckily, I am getting my crutches off soon!:) My team ended up losing 4-3 but we got really unlucky and none of our shots went in! After that we went home and had some lunch. For lunch we had pasta with meat sauce. It was awesome! Then, we went to watch my team play another game! They won this time! YAY! After that we just hung around like all afternoon and my throat began to hurt. Next, we made some dinner. We had flounder, asparagus, and macaroni and cheese. After dinner I got ready for bed. I also think I am getting a cold or getting sick. Bye for today! See you tomorrow!

Obviously, I couldn't practice with them since I broke my knee and I was on crutches! I LITERALLY FROZE at their practice! I was an ice cube! It was so cold out today and they decided to have an outdoor practice!!! After I got frozen I went home and we had dinner. For dinner we had grouper (the fish) and broccoli. It was pretty good.

First Day of Homeschooling (WK. 7.6)

Hi everyone! Or should I say ciao! Today was a pretty awesome day! When I woke up we had our first breakfast in our house. We had croissants with crème inside of them. They were good! Then for the rest of the morning we finished unpacking. By lunchtime we were done and our house turned out great!!! For lunch we had some sandwiches also known as paninis. My sandwich had mozzarella and tomatoes in it. After lunch Francesco and I went to the "classroom". The "classroom" is a room in our apartment that we homeschool in. Inside there is a SMART board, white board, couch, and 2 desks. It is actually pretty cool! Anyway, then we went to our desks and our mom told us what it would be like in the "classroom" and what the rules were. We are using an online school program but we also had to get books and stuff for it. Our mom got us macbooks so now we can do school on it! YAY! After we were done getting an introduction to our new "school" we went to the grocery store and got groceries! OBVIOUSLY! Next, we went home and made some dinner. For dinner we had chicken parmigiana that turned out AWESOME! Afterwards I skyped some friends in Virginia and then got ready for bed. Bye for today! See you tomorrow!

First Day In Italy (WK 7.5)

Hi everyone! Today was a pretty cool day even though I slept HORRIBLY on the plane. When I woke up we were there and we got off the plane. We then stopped to get some breakfast. I had a croissant at this breakfast place in the airport. Next we left the airport with our car that had been shipped overseas. Isn't that cool? We drove a little bit until we got to our new apartment overlooking this beach. The movers were there and we unpacked boxes all morning. Then we had some lunch. For lunch we went to this amazing ice cream place called Mateoti (probably spelled that wrong). I had a brioche with zuppe englese and hazelnut. It was AMAZING!!!!!!! After lunch we walked around a bit and then went back to our house to unpack some more. We made pretty good time and got half of our house furnished. In our house we have a living room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, a laundry room, a classroom because we are going to be homeschooled from now on, 2 balconies, and more!

Pizza Night (WK. 7.2)

Hi everyone! Today was a decent day. When I woke up I had a nutella croissant and I went to Francesco's game. His team lost but they were having a bad day so...It was awkward sitting on the sidelines because everyone was staring at me and my crutches...Anyway, after his game we went back home and watched part of a soccer game for a little while. Then we had a really early lunch which was a peanut butter sandwich and some apples. It was pretty good. Next, we went to Francesco's soccer. His team did win luckily! After we shopped at Target and bought some Valentines stuff before my soccer game. I just went to cheer on my team but obviously I was on the sidelines. And it was REALLY annoying because everyone was like, "OMG! What happened?!". SO ANNOYING! Anyway, after we went back home and got changed because we were going to my dad's friend's house for dinner. It was fun! We watched the Juventus vs. Milan game and Juve won!!! YAY! Then we had pizza and an oreo ice cream cake. IT WAS AMAZING! Finally, before we left we watched Freaky Friday and I lost a tooth! YAY! It was my last tooth to lose on my bottom row and luckily I wasn't getting my bottom braces until Monday so I didn't lose a tooth with a bracket on it. By then we had to leave. When we got home it was late and I started getting ready for bed. Bye for today! See you tomorrow!

An Awful Day (WK. 7)

Hi everyone! Today was an AWFUL day, literally, it couldn't get any worse!!!!! When I woke up I had some oatmeal. Then I headed to the orthodontist to get my braces on. It really hurt and I got aqua and lime green bands. That took until lunchtime so afterwards we got a Chickfila sandwich and a cookies and cream milkshake! That was good at least....After I was going to go to school for the afternoon but on the way in to school I tripped on the steps! It hurt SOOOOOOOOOO bad and at first my mom thought it was nothing and she told me to get up. I still couldn't get up because when I fell I heard my knee pop and bend in an awkward position. My mom carried me inside where I got some ice. Then, I went to Urgent Care because by then it started swelling up big time! At the Urgent Care they told me that I had broke my knee! I got a brace and crutches! :( I have to be on crutches for 4 weeks!!!!! That's awful! After that I decided to go to my basketball game that I was supposed to play in! :( I had to watch from the bench and handle the throbbing in my knee! After my game I got some macaroni and cheese. And then hung out and practiced walking on crutches until bedtime. Bye for today! See you tomorrow!
