bologna!
Saturday I went to Bologna to visit a museum for my art history class. The museum was mostly dull, sadly, but the city was great. I was getting a little tired of the same old Italian town thing, but Bologna was very much a university city—lots of young people, GREAT food, and lots of shopping. Still haven’t done much shopping, and practically no buying though. : (
When we got home, we went straight to dinner at the amazing osteria that Owen took us to a few weeks ago—actually I was the only one of us who’d been, but it definitely lived up to last time for me. Had the delicious prosciutto pizza again, and bruschetta, and afterwards, gelato. The group was a little odd…it was a strange combination of people I am friends with (ie. people I have things to talk about with) and then the sigma chi guys (who are actually quite cool) and most of the sorority girls in the program. Afterwards, we all went to a bar where it was 3 drinks for 10 euro. Sweet. Alas, we just wandered around for awhile, per usual, and eventually just went home.
Sunday night we went to a gelato place that Will and Brad recommended, where they serve gelato in real fruit. Yeah, pretty amazing, except brad ordered the avocado filled with avocado gelato and the bitched about it… no idea what he was thinking. Mmm I had the most amazing lampone con nocciola (raspberry with hazelnut).
Sunday night cori and I also had the most hilarious conversation with our host mom. First, we talked about all the words for pregnant, because cori and I feel rather large after eating so much everyday. Then we were listening to pink floyd, and that started a conversation about whether our host mom likes pink floyd, led zeppelin, the beatles, etc. Fyi: she does enjoy some good pink floyd, zep, beatles, elvis, but most shakira, who she calls “una diavola” (a devil) because she is so good looking. Also, my 60 yr old host mother went to a singles party the other night, but came home disappointed because she doesn’t want to be one of those “desperate women only looking for men.” I laugh.
As most of the past month was filled with eating, I went to the gym today for the first time. It’s way ghetto compared to my love, arrillaga, but it works I suppose. All the Stanford girls go there, and it has wireless! And I hadn’t worked out in a month and it felt DAMN GOOD. Shoutouts to my gym people, tammy and liberty.
Seems like it will be a rather slow week, but who knows. I did turn in my first actual assignment that required thinking yesterday though. I miss you people.
