Greece in four days!

10:21, GMT+1

That's right. And it's putting me back... 15.50 Euro a direction. Thanks for the Eurail pass, genitori. It's going to be a nine-hour train ride, but fortunately, it's a night train. Unfortunately, I'm sharing a cabin with four other people I don't know, and one I do. The ones I don't could be... interesting.

Sorry for the lack of continuous updates- I can't write about anything if things don't end up happening. But a few things have.

Last night, the Collegio threw a godawful party for some Collegio alum. It was... really, really bad. I stayed about thirty minutes and then returned to my room.

Today, though, Brittany and I went to Centrale (Milan's primary train station... in the center of the city. I know, huh. I wish I was that creative.), and lo and behold, there was a huge fair in front of it. Full of CHOCOLATE. Mmmmm.... fresh chocolate of all kinds.... any type you could name (except Lindt's Cresta Blancor, of course) was being sold there. And they sold it by the 100 g, also known as the "etto" here. Oh yeah. It was fantastic.

I had a much better game of calcio today, too. I scored my first goal! Yeah, it was kinda lucky though. I just kinda touched it past three defenders and saw a goal, loaded up, and fired- upon which the ball kinda just rolled forward in a typical defender shot. But it got under the goalie's leg, so it counted.

Other than that, I may be out of touch for a little. I've got so much work to do in the next week that it's unbelievable. I am going to be stressed out of my mind... but once I'm past it, smooth sailing. Grande.

Alrighty folks. Time to hit the books.
