4. italian boys

5. dancing in the club with italian boys

6. Pisa

1. So the past few days haven't really been that exciting. It's like I've finally gotten used to being in this city so the excitement and such is wearing off. It's still amazing to be here don't get me wrong but seeing new things isn't as thrilling it's just more Florence. The WOW factor and the I CANT BELIEVE IM HERE has worn off quite a bit. Which is maybe why it feels like I've been here for 2 months and not a simple 2 weeks.

2. The trio consists of my new AMAZING friend Jess, who goes to Syracuse too and my new lover Audrey, who goes to Bates. So Jess is a little Babeatron and she is getting a boy here. Well, already has a boy here. And Audrey and I sat this boy down and asked the tough questions after he BUTCHERED his first time having an 'us' convo with Jess. And when Audrey and I reflected on this convo with Jess we realized we both acted like dads in a different way. I was kind of like what are your intentions? and audrey asked all the tough questions. So we're now Jess's Gay Dads and it's beautiful. Jess and Audrey are roommates. I'm really jealous. They live like right next to school. It's much nicer than my twenty minute walk to school. But apparently my place is nicer says Jess who is reading over my shoulder... HEY!!!!. anyway. 

3. There are so many great people here in the program its a lot of fun.. JESS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON THE BLOG UPLOAD UR DAMN PICS... sorry she is reading still and I dont think she should have special privileges. You can look through all the glorious pictures of me being put up and find mi amici. But they are super cool. I love them a lot and I dont really know what to say about them that wouldn't take forever in a post. 

4. Ok italian boys.... they are gorgeous for the most part. yum yum yum. so nice to look at. most of the time tho i wish i didn't have a nose when i am looking at them. because they smell like a sweaty locker room. The good news is when you find a well dressed, really gorgeous guy AND he smells good, its probably the best thing ever. And you want to marry them and run away into the sunset but instead you just keep walking because u've only passed them in the street. 

5. now, different story is when you go to a club or a bar and there are italian men there. HOLY SHIT HOLD ON TO YOUR COOTER. cuz they are after it and they stop at nothing to try and get it. like last night for instance. we go on to the dance floor and we're like 5-6 girls strong... so you'd think maybe one or two would get picked off to dance. HELL NO. ALLLLL 6 of us get some creep that takes us away and trys to dance all sexy but its really just nasty and... JESSS SOON ENOUGH READ YOUR OWN COMP... and you're like o this is kinda fun for about 5 seconds. then they get really into it and invade your personal space like its they're job. they're in your face and there is nothing you can do to get away. We even tried to help eachother and go to the other side of the floor and they FOLLOWED US! so this one guy is following me around and trying to get me to makeout with his tongue it was so gross i don't even want to talk about it right now. but he was all up in my grill and i was like buddy, back off. Then when i finally got off the dance floor and away from him he WAITS for me to come back and seriously stays in one spot till i find him again when i leave. and he does this motion like OH there you are!!! and I was like WHAT? you didn't find someone new by now? ah shit. it was terrible terrible. What's even worse is that a really cute boy, tho he did smell, tried to get me to dance after that but i was too scared i get molested via dance to go with him. ugh. this could ruin the rest of the clubs for me. and to think i was actually looking forward to the aggressive italian men. 

6. PISA!!! we went to Pisa on saturday. It was lovely. We climbed the tower and I was so scared half the time. with my messed up head i could feel every time we were tilting and it was so freaky. But the view really was amazing and blah blah blah. Then going back down was SOOO ridiculously terrifying because all of the steps were made of marble and the marble was wearing down so i was sure i was going to slip and fall on one of them. Ugh. By the time i got back on the ground i literally ran over the lawn and sat down. I was like thank you goodness for the solidness of this ground. Then i laid down with Jess in the grass and when we got up realized i was allergic to that kind of grass and itched for about 10 mins. FABULOUS. Anyway, then we went to lucca. Nothing to exciting to report there. 

Everything else is freaking amazing. I love my host mom. I love ninjavideo for keeping me up to date with TV.. like WEEDS!!!! and my roommate is totally opposite me but we still have fun. Shes religious and neat and a study person but we still get a long fine in our room. I think thats all for now. I love youuuuuuuuuuu ALL. 

Arrivederci,
