Well, only sort of. See, I've done a ton of shit in the two months I've been here and if we're operating on the "no news is good news" mentality then it should be apparent how much fucking fun I'm having here (not just fun...FUCKING fun.) However, that does mean that a totally massive recap of everything is next to impossible. So here's the highlights, for your viewing [dis]pleasure:
1. I live in an apartment with five other girls. By some miracle I haven't killed/maimed/screamed at any of them yet. I count this as a win considering my patience for girls.
2. I have also made some bitchin', non-apartment friends as well! Lots of them, in fact. My favorites include Ian (who is basically like a brother, only tall and ginger), Sal (who is well-intentioned and very Italian), and Claire (who is my loud American friend from Chicago that I adore.)
3. I should note that the reason I haven't killed any of my roommates yet is because I basically live at Sal & Ian's apartment (which is different from Claire who actually DOES live there now that her and Ian have started dating.) However, they're currently having a rat problem so I'm reluctant to go over there as much as I used to. Still, they take me grocery shopping with them so I can have food at their apartment and I keep a spare toothbrush in Sal's bathroom. I also have my own set of keys. Basically, I love them.
4. I spend approximately 20-30% of my time here intoxicated. I can feel my brain cells dying. It's pretty cool.
5. I was told by many people that Italian men may look charming but they are, in fact, total creepers. They were not wrong.
6. I am totally embracing the "what happens in Rome STAYS in Rome" mentality. Let's just...leave it at that.
7. My mother and aunt are coming to visit on Thursday! I'm excited but also a little weirded out because I'm combining two worlds that, up until this point, I've kept totally and completely seperate. I don't really know how this is going to work but I'm excited to see what happens.
Last thing before I go: there's a weekly beer pong party here. I find that hilarious...who plays beer pong in Rome?!
Answer: I do.
