Ciaaa.

It's pretty cool. In all the main streets there's little strips with grooves in them that follow the sidewalk for blind people, and the shapes of the grooves are a little bit different on each street so they know where they are. I thought that was pretty creative.

Wow. It's amazing how many hundreds of people are buzzing about the Piazza even on week nights.

It's also amazing thast I'm the only girl here who doesn't always wear skinny jeans. Quite alright. I'm used to being different.

Tonight I went to a cafe with these two kids Paolo and Gianluca. They're super awesome. I actually hadn't met them in person yet, but apparently they just make it their duty to go around befriending all the exchange students. They've hung out with Stephanie and Hilary a ton. But those two have to go to Italian lessons on week nights so can't go out. Anyway. Isabell met us at the cafe, too. She's been referred to as Paolo's sister but they don't live together or anything, so I don't know for sure. Meh. They're all super funny and nice though. And even walked me back to Anna's studio to make sure I'm safe! The cool thing about them is that they correct my Italian, and always speak in Italian, and rarely switch to English (even though they're all really fluent) when I don't understand something. They just slow it down and rephrase it. They're definitely a good group to hang with to learn the language. Cool. :]

You should see my red converse. I went stitch-crazy on them. Remember the jeans?? Yeah. All that plus a couple scenes of stars and snow and rain and rainbows and waves. I was bored. :]

I am always so freakin' tired. But I don't take naps after lunch anymore because Anna asked me why I sleep all the time and I got self conscience. But seriously. It's almost 9:30pm on a school night and I'm still at work with Anna. We have to go home, make dinner, eat and take showers before I can call it a night. I don't get to bed until at least 10:30, though it's usually closer to 11 or 11:30. And in America sometimes I'd have those nights, but here that's every night. Going to bed early isn't an option. And now Anna asks why I have bags under my eyes. Let's see... ha.
