Finals in Florence

Troy!
[4/26/11 1:29:39 PM] Lisa Symington: You there?
[4/26/11 1:29:51 PM] Lisa Symington: Hellooo!!
[4/26/11 1:31:06 PM] Troy Symington: Whoa! My mom's messaging me!
[4/26/11 1:35:43 PM] Troy Symington: But Skype's not sending it apparently...
[4/26/11 1:35:54 PM] Lisa Symington: and then I ran away since nobody loved me enough to respond!
[4/26/11 1:36:04 PM] Lisa Symington: Hi honey!
[4/26/11 1:36:40 PM] Lisa Symington: I was about to book the San Francisco de Young museum for June 18, a Saturday, for a Picasso exhibit.
[4/26/11 1:36:46 PM] Lisa Symington: Do you want to go?
[4/26/11 1:37:40 PM] Lisa Symington: We are only planning a day trip with the exhibit time of 12:30, if I can get it.... they are already sold out for the first weekend and most of this second weekend
[4/26/11 1:38:55 PM] Lisa Symington: Did you run away?
[4/26/11 1:40:21 PM] Lisa Symington: Now Skype isn't sending my chats to you!
[4/26/11 1:40:38 PM] Lisa Symington: they are "pending", so what's with that?
[4/26/11 1:41:13 PM] Lisa Symington: It still has you listed as a green check for having your computer open....
[4/26/11 1:42:10 PM] Lisa Symington: oh well, I'm out to mow the lawn with the PUSH mower. The regular one is being repaired and the grass grows fast this time of year
[4/26/11 1:42:20 PM] Lisa Symington: Where's my mower when I need him?
[4/26/11 1:42:35 PM] Troy Symington: I'll have school and work by then... what day of the week is it?
[4/26/11 1:42:58 PM] Lisa Symington: Saturday
[4/26/11 1:43:05 PM] Lisa Symington: Yay! you ARE there!!
[4/26/11 1:44:04 PM] Troy Symington: Whoa! It just sent me your last, like, 10 messages all at once!
[4/26/11 1:44:05 PM] Lisa Symington: We could probably do a Sunday if it's better. I am waiting for Katie's reply still..... but she leaves for Hawaii later that week so I thought sooner was better than later for her sake.
[4/26/11 1:44:47 PM] Troy Symington: I just don't know what my work schedule will be, but I can probably do it!
[4/26/11 1:45:29 PM] Lisa Symington: I suppose you would be able to schedule work around it since, as of now you are not scheduled at all :)
[4/26/11 1:45:48 PM] Troy Symington: Yup! :)
[4/26/11 1:46:04 PM] Lisa Symington: OK, I'll count you as a go! Your ticket is $21 as a student
[4/26/11 1:46:27 PM] Lisa Symington: How was your history essay?
[4/26/11 1:47:37 PM] Troy Symington: Woohoo! The essay went pretty well I think! Afterwards we had a Soc Sci essay that was really easy, but by the time we took it I felt really burnt out from all the writing! (our journals were due that day as well so I had spent the entire night before writing many, many pages).
[4/26/11 1:48:11 PM] Lisa Symington: Last minute journaling for the whole semester?
[4/26/11 1:48:36 PM] Lisa Symington: Congratulations on feeling good about your essays!
[4/26/11 1:48:50 PM] Troy Symington: Ha, no. It's just the last 8 entries that were due today.
[4/26/11 1:48:51 PM] Lisa Symington: SmartiePants!
[4/26/11 1:48:56 PM] Lisa Symington: OK
[4/26/11 1:49:06 PM] Lisa Symington: Anything new?
[4/26/11 1:49:17 PM] Lisa Symington: I saw Anna's Greece photos on FB
[4/26/11 1:49:42 PM] Lisa Symington: Why didn't you go to Greece? I had thought that was one of those places you wanted to go?
[4/26/11 1:50:40 PM] Troy Symington: Started throwing away things today that I'm not gonna need after the program... Ok, stop freaking asking me all these questions at once, I started writing in response to the "anything new" and then you start throwing all these other questions at me! Stop it!
[4/26/11 1:51:11 PM] Lisa Symington: Type faster :D
[4/26/11 1:51:36 PM] Troy Symington: You need to learn proper chat room etiquette!
[4/26/11 1:51:43 PM] Lisa Symington: Pause....
[4/26/11 1:51:54 PM] Lisa Symington: awaiting prior responses....
[4/26/11 1:52:29 PM] Lisa Symington: pause....
[4/26/11 1:53:22 PM] Lisa Symington: pause.....
[4/26/11 1:53:35 PM] Lisa Symington: still pausing.........
[4/26/11 1:53:58 PM] Troy Symington: Ok... I had wanted to go to Greece. But the program that Anna went with was through something called Florence For Fun. And I knew that if I went it would just be a lot of partying and I wouldn't see anything of Greece. Anna told me she hated the Greece trip because of this (as well as the very perverse Greek men). And if you say pause one more time I'm hanging up.
[4/26/11 1:54:19 PM] Lisa Symington: hahahaha
[4/26/11 1:55:27 PM] Lisa Symington: I understand about the partying and the men! yikes! I guess it was all right to miss her trip then, although the boat trip looked wonderful and the caves and shoreline were beautiful.
[4/26/11 1:55:49 PM] Lisa Symington: What did you throw away?
[4/26/11 1:55:58 PM] Troy Symington: She did say that it was very beautiful. But it's not how I want to see Greece.
[4/26/11 1:56:08 PM] Lisa Symington: Gotcha :)
[4/26/11 1:56:12 PM] Troy Symington: Again with the multiple statements!
[4/26/11 1:56:24 PM] Lisa Symington: I'm pausing :)
[4/26/11 1:56:25 PM] Troy Symington: You have no idea how annoying...
[4/26/11 1:56:30 PM] Lisa Symington: Love you :)
[4/26/11 1:57:15 PM] Troy Symington: Just threw away a lot of papers and the museum tickets and city maps that I didn't want (I kept most of them).
[4/26/11 1:57:49 PM] Lisa Symington: That makes sense, especially since you will be carrying everything on your back for the following 2 1/2 weeks
[4/26/11 1:59:00 PM] Troy Symington: My friend Shannon is actually going to take a bag back for us. We're going to pay the $55 dollars baggage fee and buy her dinner or something.
[4/26/11 1:59:19 PM] Lisa Symington: You have that much stuff?
[4/26/11 2:00:29 PM] Troy Symington: I need to send my books back mostly. Plus the souvenirs. I was able to take my carry-on on the flight over here, but I'm not going to be able to when we travel around.
[4/26/11 2:01:25 PM] Lisa Symington: Are your books worth $55?
[4/26/11 2:01:38 PM] Lisa Symington: You could leave them in Italy...
[4/26/11 2:03:04 PM] Troy Symington: Do you have any idea how expensive textbooks are? Any one of them is worth $55. Plus I need one of them for next year. Plus, Alec is paying for half of it. Besides, I need to send back my bowler hat, a large mug we stole from a beer garden in munich, among oher things...
[4/26/11 2:03:26 PM] Lisa Symington: Oh, I get it now...
[4/26/11 2:04:06 PM] Lisa Symington: Are you ready to say goodbye to Florence? How does the timing feel?
[4/26/11 2:04:35 PM] Troy Symington: I feel like I should have another couple of months here!
[4/26/11 2:04:54 PM] Lisa Symington: I'm glad you're still enjoying it!
[4/26/11 2:05:18 PM] Lisa Symington: I bet your Italian is pretty good now, too
[4/26/11 2:05:24 PM] Troy Symington: I feel like there's so much left to do, just in Florence!
[4/26/11 2:05:36 PM] Troy Symington: My italian is still... eh.
[4/26/11 2:05:55 PM] Lisa Symington: I guess 3 months isn't very long, really
[4/26/11 2:06:11 PM] Lisa Symington: I really miss gelato
[4/26/11 2:06:13 PM] Troy Symington: Not really...
[4/26/11 2:06:27 PM] Troy Symington: But I signed up for Italian 3 next semester!
[4/26/11 2:06:50 PM] Lisa Symington: I'm glad. It will keep you connected to this time and to the country.
[4/26/11 2:07:35 PM] Lisa Symington: Any other news? I should get mowing since you're not doing it!
[4/26/11 2:08:18 PM] Troy Symington: Not really, I should get to bed... I have 2 more finals tomorrow...
[4/26/11 2:08:33 PM] Lisa Symington: Love you. Good luck on the finals
[4/26/11 2:08:40 PM] Lisa Symington: Mwah (h)
[4/26/11 2:08:49 PM] Troy Symington: Love! Ciao!
