Yet Another Short, Apologetic Update

So I thought I was doing well with updating on Italy, etc., but then the full force of summer hit me--and not the "fun" summer force. This one was more a combination of obligatory seasonal mood downswing, boyfriend moving away to BFE, silly but essential paper due the first day of school (ridiculous and frustrating, by the way. Worst thing I ever churned out) all glued together with the overwhelming, stifling heat of a particularly nasty Louisiana summer. It has all the charm of living in an overenthusiastic armpit.
Anyway, these things have significantly dampened my drive to... well, do anything. But now that school's back in session (yay?) I'll hopefully have the drive and (pray god) the free time to actually get stuff done. Me-stuff, like this blog, as well as icky school papers.
This ramp of excuses is, of course, leading up to yet another promise: will update soon, and yes, with pictures.
