The Next Two Weeks are Gonna be Awesome!

The holidays are coming up and in just a few short days I'll be off for a two-week adventure. First, I'll be taking a 7 hour train ride to Varna to meet my best buddy, Tom. We'll explore Varna, eat Mexican food, and buy a cute hat cuz my head has been cold, especially my ears which is actually quite painful, what gives? Then we'll meet Katelyn, Priscilla, and Mary and have a sleepover at Tom's place. FUN!

We'll then all head back to Varna to Hannah's Holiday House to celebrate Christmas with about 15 or so volunteers. We'll be cooking lots of delicious food, opening our secret santa gifts, and having a merry time. Then Tom and a few others will be off to Sofia to catch a flight to Italy. I'll stay with Hannah and Lexi and we'll hang out for a few days in Varna until it's our turn to return to Sofia and catch our flight to Italy. While a big group of volunteers is going to spend New Year's in Rome, Matt, Lexi, Evan, Hannah, and I will be going to Bologna and Florence. I. Can't. Wait. My mom is even mailing me a special New Year's dress that should arrive on Tuesday (hopefully).

I get a couple extra days off of school for this trip and when I get back, it'll be the end of my first semster and the beginning of a very long winter. But I've got big plans for semester #2 so I'm kinda looking forward to the challenge.

Here are some pictures of my first snowfall:
