Procrastination?

I figured a productive way to procrastinate would be to post a blog, since everyone seems to like when I update this thing and to be honest I'm tired to attempting to finish my music paper and Gabby and I have already gone over Art History a few times today and we're pretty confident.
So here is a pro's and con's list of my time in Italy so far:

Let's start with the positives. PROS:
-it's gorgeous. You can be walking and then BOOM there will be ruins in the middle of the sidewalk like it's no big deal they've just been chilling for a good 2000+ years.
-you can find extremely fresh produce and pasta for cheap
-if you're a girl and you smile at the pizza guy he'll basically cut your bill in half. Gabby and I just went up to the only place near our apt open on Sunday's and it was 3 euro for both our meals combined cause the guy working liked us
-I can leave my phone in the apartment, or in my bag for hours (or even days) and still come back and haven't missed a thing. (Dad I know you won't believe this after my texting counts in the US, but I haven't used my phone for 3 days other than as an alarm.)
-cheap coffee. only 1 euro for a cappuccino better than any I've made in my many years as a barista

I'm sure I could think of more if I really wanted to procrastinate the day away. but we'll move onto the CONS:
-nothing is open on Sundays. We're out of milk and bread but oh well it'll have to wait till tomorrow.
-Italian Men. yup they are their own category. Before I left everyone was like you'll go fall in love with an Italian man. Yeahhhh Right. I'd love to be able to walk down the street without getting called to our said something about every step I take
-Time Difference/contact with family and friends. While I'm lucky enough to be able to call the US for free with gmail, and talk to my parents in some form most days and gchat Adam pretty often, I feel like the time difference with the West and East coasts can be a little challenging (Hawaii is so far away it's really not bad because when I wake up, they have just finished dinner and are chilling before they go to bed)

Alright... well I'll go do the responsible thing and work on my papers and study for my midterms because FRIDAY I GO TO GREECE!!! We spent part of the morning looking at the extra activities we can purchase and decided to not do the Booze Cruise and instead to do the ATV Safari and Kayaking in Corfu instead. cheeee heeeee.
