Here, There And Everywhere

So It's been a bit since my last post. These past two weeks have been kinda busy. They've been all about midterms. I kinda talked with Peter. Well, I commented on one of his blogs a week ago. It felt pretty good. Good things to discuss. It was like a conversation. And then today I got a message from him on facebook. Can't wait to travel with that guy. Peter, are you gonna bring your guitar? My roommate and I split a guitar and little drum here. I don't think I'm gonna bring it when we travel though. It just might not be worth it to haul around. I don't know how long you'll be in the states for though. And I think that you should mail your les paul back home so it will be waiting for us when we get back. We can use my amplifier. It has 4 inputs. Plus, you just gave me an idea. We should totally jam at open mic. This guy that hosts it could let you use his guitar. It has been a while. We might need to brush up actually. Or just play by feelings. Whatevs, we'll figure this out later.

So last weekend I did a couple productive things. On friday, I went on this trip to some hot springs spa about an hour away. It was very relaxing. I met a couple cute girls too. I really needed it after typing up an 11 page paper. Then on saturday it was a gorgeous day. I hiked to the top of Monte Ceceri in Fiesole on my own and saw the sunset over the mountains. You could see all of florence from it. They are the pics right above. Then on Sunday I went to go hike through Le Cinque Terre (The 5 Towns). It is a 4 to 5 hour hike through 5 towns connecting along the Mediterranean coast. Supposed to be one of the best hikes in the world. And it was so beautiful. So glad I did that. Check out the pics I posted up on Facebook everyone.

In 2 days, my Midterm 10 day break starts! I'm going to London!!! Then Ireland. It'll be 2 or 3 places in Ireland. Cork or Gallaway to see the Cliffs of Mohr (everyone google image that shit). Then Dublin. Then we're going to Oslo, Norway and northern Norway to see some Killer Whales and some Northern Lights!!! That is gonna be so sick! Europe is awesome. I'm so glad I could do this. I'm making the best of it too and will see everything I can.

Our art history teacher is awesome. He gets so into everything. We saw Michelangelo's David last week. Listening to him describe every detail made the sculpture so much more amazing to see.

Well, I gotta go study for my Italian quiz tomorrow. I will let you all know how my break goes when I get back. Oh and Andy, good job on getting into the U.

Here's Me at Cinque Terre

Just Kickin it in Florence

So I didn't do much this weekend. Kinda sucks. I feel like I wasted it. I should've just hopped on a train and went somewhere. I only have so many weekends out here. It's cool though. I saved some cash I guess. Always a plus. That way I'll have more for the next trips. Like London and Dublin in 2 weeks!!!! Hellaaaa!!!!

I just kicked it in Firenze and got some homework done. Midterms are coming up. Not looking forward to it. I got this big ass paper due for my art history class. It's an awesome class but writing this paper is rough. Our teacher gets so into it. We go around the city to sites and learn about how it all happened pretty much. The stories are insane. Our teacher is so passionate about everything. The dude like gives a noble prize speech everytime we have class. So I feel like I gotta describe everything like he does in my paper. It sucks cuz you wanna listen to him when he talks, but you are too busy trying to catch everything he's saying and write down the notes. While at the same time it is a 3 hour class at 8:30 in the morning and your thinking in your head "I wonder what I'll do for lunch today.....or...Man, I'm fuckin tired. Standing sucks. I wanna sit." Good thing the class is only once a week.

I did make good use of the weekend though. Bought some Jagermeister at the grocery store. Got Hammered on thursday! I held my ground though. Kept it vel (chappelle show episode). I was all over the place. Almost pulled a T Kreaperbach. Cuz we were at these girl's place that go to our school. I was definitely the most fucked up. The night was ending though and I guess I wanted some play. I remember bits and pieces. But I was hopping from bedroom to bedroom. These girls were like trying to go to bed. I guess that was a signal for "Max. You should leave!" My roommates were already waiting outside. Hahaha. One of them was like "yeah, i think i'm just gonna read and go to bed" I was like "alright word, lets get in bed" hahahahaha. It's cool though. They thought it was funny. It was all good intensions of course. I'm a nice guy. everyone knows that........

The walk back home was even funnier. There was this guy Justin. He was probably the 2nd most drunk after me. He tried messing with my head that he was more drunk and couldn't walk. So I was like "Oh no! I got you buddy!" And I'm trying to hold him up so he doesn't fall. He's pulling dinosaur moves on me as if a T-Rex just got shot and is about to fall over. He's a giant person too. So it looked really funny cuz I'm such a small guy trying to save him. Some girls got it on video. I saw it. kinda embarrassing. But some stuff was funny too. I guess I drunk dialed whisney. i barely remember what we talked about. i think it was new shirts and cool brands. the girls i was with thought i was calling some girlfriend. I had to explain that andy and I are just tight and have too many inside jokes.

fuck! that had to cost me like 20 bucks probably. you guys should call me cuz it won't cost you nearly as much. just don't do it on your cell cuz your companies will charge you. just get a calling card at the gas station and use your landline. dial whatever number is on the card for twin cities. then dial the code on the card. then dial 011 to go international then 39 which is my city code then my number which is 331 570 9484. Sorry everyone, I won't be calling as much now. Gotta save cash. So hit me up!

The next night I invited two girls over for dinner. Otherwise I would've had to eat alone. Brian went to Rome with some of his old school buddies. Jeff's mom came to visit so he was eating with her. And tim was with his girlfriend Cat. That was cool. I cooked them a feast. Later we went to the same girls house from the night before cuz they were having a dress nice party. And these two girls i showed up with got so wasted that there was drama. it was ridiculous. best friends becoming enemies in like 30 minutes. They almost dueled it out. Nobody even knew what it was about. I guess it went back to 5 years ago. I was in the middle of it trying to patch things up. They pushed me away. I was upset that they were upset. Whatevs. I heard they made up later that night after we left.

Albert and David, don't know if you read this. I tried calling both of you and it didn't work for some reason. It was the day the Phish announced their reunion. Phish is back together!!!!!!! I fuckin called that shit! Would love to go to Hampton. But it is the week before my spring break. not cool. I'll probably have a bunch of tests that week. Maybe i can get them done early if i talk to my professors. Otherwise i'll just have to wait for them to post a tour. Come to Alpine!!!!!!!

What a pointless blog. I might go to Lake Como or Cinque Terre this coming weekend. That's about all I can say. I'm out.
