Happy Memorial Day. Enjoy your All-American BBQs and parades! At least I'll be in Italy for June 2nd, which is their independence day. I learned that Justin Beiber is playing in the Roman Arena as part of the celebration, hahaha.
slept in. took my time in the shower while julia went for a run. Then ate cereal and found 15 euro in my pocket! I love surprises!
first class at 1pm. was 3 hours long and it was rather hard to concentrate. I love my professor's lectures, but they are long enough in a regular semester when they are 1 hour and 15 minutes long. These are twice that!
I also lost the back of my earring during class. I'm not sure where it fell out...on the street or in my apartment, or in school. I'll have to find a new pair to wear. I'm afraid one of my ears is closing because I pushed it through on one side and it was bleeding yesterday.
walked around with my new friend jess. bought much-needed tissues and shampoo at the convenience store (I want all of the pretty nail polish colors they have!). Then we went actual clothes shopping. Passed Juliet's balcony!!! Locks are sooo cool. Balcony built in 1936. Then bought dress and tank top and nice shirt. Jess and I wandered through my favorite piazza, Piazza Erbe and ate and a very very expensive tourist-y cafe. I had pear juice, which I loved sooo much and I can't wait to look for it in the grocery store (there are very few supermarket-style stores. most places are small markets). I had my first American-ish meal of beef stew and french fries. And saw these sights from my seat!!! Then came back and skyped with the family for Memorial Day. I wish I could be with you all!!!
