I smell so Euro.
Hahahahahaah thank god I don't really smell Euro. They smell really bad here. Back in Siena there was this club and it had a really random cave in it. Anyways, all the Italians danced in there and it smelled so vial. If I come back with a weird body odor. Let me know, promise?

So things are really good here. I am so relaxed and just basically having a good time. I don't have any early classes so I can basically get out of bed when I want which is nice. I usually take a walk along the Arno everyday. It is really beautiful and the weather is getting better and better. The sun is shining most days too. I have had a couple of really fun nights out. Also there is a random Americani bar that plays Beer Pong on Tuesday nights, that was fun. I stole beer out of someone's beer shuttle (this amazing 3.5 liter contraption filled with Heineken). hahahaha.

I have like little stress. I really feel like I am on vacation. I go on these really long walks and ponder life. I know that it sounds ridiculous and emo, but I really enjoy it. Looking back in my planner it is weird to read about my Emerson life. I do miss Emerson, but I think this is the best thing for me right now.

I am only taking three classes here too and they are pretty enjoyable. Also, only having three classes adds to the sense of vacation. I am taking Italian Cinema and Society, the teachers name is Lorenzo and the classroom permanently smells like Euro BO, I don't think that it is from Lorenzo though. We have watched some really good movies so far. But I have no idea what Lorenzo is saying during his lectures, his English runs together. My English and American Writers in Italy professor has the same problem, her lectures are like one big sentence. But I like having a literature class. Italian is fun, our teacher speaks like negative English. We taught her how to say peace out last week, and she told us that the young Italianos say "bono". Should I trust her? That sounds pretty creepo.

How bout them Pats? The Superbowl was so much fun. We went to this really American bar, and it was like being in little America. I don't think anyone in there spoke Italian. hahaha. Also, we stayed up for the whole game. I don't really remember but apparently we got home at five am. good.

Last Saturday, I went with a couple of girls to Pisa and Lucca. It was a nice day trip. Lucca is the quietest town ever. It is really nice though. Pisa, has the tower... it is still leaning.

The supermarket is called the Esselunga. We get 40€ worth of vouchers there each month. So my roomate and I went last week. It was amazing. So many pushy Italianos. We spent most of our vouchers on vino. error.

Down the alley I live in (the opposite way) from Soul Fusion, there is a tiny creepo door. And above it, it says 'La Buca Del Moro.' I am pretty sure that it has something to do with hell.

Also, Vegas is definitely on for my birthday. Kathy and Tom are in. My mom wants to see that Circus show. yes.

send me e-mails. I like them.

lots of love.
wish you were here.
