today included by far one of my best moments in italy.

I was walking down the street listening to my pod and boppin along to a sweet smiths song. I start to approach a building where something must have been going down, because there is a parked police car outside and an officer standing there with an automated gun slung over his shoulder. He sees me coming (mildly jamming out) and grins from ear to ear. He starts giving me the most gnarly of faces, suddenly swings his gun in front of him and straight out air-guitars the shit out of it as i walk by. I started cracking up and legitimately rocked out down the street as he continued to air-serenade me. Dude wass the fucking shitttttttt. made my day-week-month-semester-year.


In other news I had coconut gelato yesterday and I'm forseeing another added 20 lbs.


Buttt um there isn't much else to update about. last night we had a really nice dinner in an italian garden restaurant in a big group. I was feeling sick and like a bit of a debbie downer so I just came home after but a few of us all hung around and talked. it was nice to relax for once. it was my only legitimately sober night here. hahaha. and nowwww it's the weekend.

Maybe I'll update about my classes later. they all seem great. and I love my professors. my fresco painting class has one other student. it's going to be weird. especially because she's far more trained in classical studio art, where as I make wearable political pieces or transform peoples faces from 18 year olds into 98 year olds. I knew I should have taken more conventional art classes back home. but what can I say, conventional bores me.
