I'm so tired I can't even remember what we talked about this morning, but I know it made me smile!

[8:43:04 AM] Katie Symington: Hey bud!

[8:43:06 AM] Katie Symington: Good morning!

[8:43:13 AM] Katie Symington: ....evening.:)

[8:44:18 AM] Troy Symington: Hey! I've been relaxing for the past hour or so and I was watching How i met your mother!

[8:44:36 AM] Katie Symington: oh, I watched the most recent one last night and it was soooo funny!

[8:45:01 AM] Troy Symington: Yup, I just finished it!

[8:45:15 AM] Katie Symington: Barney as Predator . . . I was laughing so hard.

[8:45:34 AM] Katie Symington: So what's up?

[8:47:30 AM] Troy Symington: Wait... what? There must be one more! OMG!

[8:48:05 AM] Katie Symington: lol the one last night is called Desperation Day and it's about
Valentine's Day and the day before. Go to cbs . com and click on How I Met Your Mother then
scroll down for the video.

[8:48:24 AM] Katie Symington: It's on the left, click on the one that is 21 minutes long cuz others
are previews.

[8:49:33 AM] Troy Symington: Ha, thanks, I'll do that. So... how was your Valentines day?

[8:49:49 AM] Katie Symington: Bueno! Nick made me caramel apples!

[8:50:03 AM] Katie Symington: They are deeelicious.

[8:50:08 AM] Katie Symington: How was yours?

[8:51:02 AM] Troy Symington: Oooooo. You should send me some via mail. I didn't do much. A few of us actually went to a bar, but we didn't stay long because of the whole waking up early for school thing.

[8:51:27 AM] Katie Symington: How is school going?

[8:54:32 AM] Troy Symington: Molto bene! We went to La Specola on a field trip today! It had a ridiculous amount of stuffed animals and then there was an anatomy exhibit that had wax figures of people with their muscles/organs exposed (much like the Body exhibit we saw a long time ago). The figures are supposed to be representations of people that they actually disected during the bubonic plague.

[8:55:05 AM] Katie Symington: ....eew.

[8:55:17 AM] Katie Symington: And kind of cool.

[8:56:14 AM] Troy Symington: I know, right? Oh! I'm starting to really like my Italian class
now!

[8:56:35 AM] Troy Symington: The teacher is very entertaining and I'm starting to get the hang
of it.

[8:57:22 AM] Katie Symington: Yaaaaay!

[8:57:42 AM] Katie Symington: Do you understand what she says and what Italians say? Tell
me something interesting you learned!

[9:00:12 AM] Troy Symington: I dunno, today we were learning how to use pronouns in the past
tense... not exactly exciting to write about. Oh, but in about 10 minutes we're going to leave to go
to a dinner thing put on by Accent. We're going to an apertivo which is usually a place where you buy one overpriced drink and then get free food the rest of the night, but since Accent isn't allowed to sponser alcohol it's just going to be a cheap all you can eat bufet.

[9:00:30 AM] Katie Symington: sweeeet!

[9:00:49 AM] Katie Symington: Did you see Tiffany from TKD is pregnant?

[9:01:27 AM] Troy Symington: I did! That's awesome! I haven't seen them in so long, though.

[9:01:49 AM] Katie Symington: same here. :)

[9:02:12 AM] Katie Symington: Who are all the girls in the photos? I only know Anna and sort of
Allison.

[9:03:48 AM] Troy Symington: Just people from the program that we've met! But I need to go
now, sorry. I'll talk to ya soon! Love ya!

[9:05:24 AM] Katie Symington: Love you too! Bye!
