Okay, so my trip to Italy was supposed to be documented here, but I felt so awful that it wasn't worth blogging about. However, now I have a project to do, and I believe I will take the time to post my progress here, and it will make that pesky paper quite a bit easier in the long run as well!

Here's to a new year, a new life, and a chance to make things right with the world (or at least my life).
