Finally did some more sight seeing yesterday. It was drizzling a bit in the morning but ended up being a beautiful day. Right now I'm sitting at this cafe by my school (thankfully) enjoying some alone time. This guy Brian who goes to JCU took us all around the city yesterday. He is 35 and one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. He's studying to be a history professor, and he's actually going to look at Princeton for his masters after this, so maybe I will show him the epic sights of New Jersey (...from the club to the grease trucks).
Sorry if my toursity pictures get boring, but it's all I really have to attempt to describe what I am seeing every day when I walk outside my door. Pictures don’t do justice to how amazing the art and architecture is here. I’ve never had a huge appreciation for Ancient Roman art before this, which is why I’m in such shock. The attention to detail is mind blowing. Attempting to take everything in literally almost gives me anxiety.
Today I woke up early and finished some assignments I've been putting off. I also watched the film I Cento Passi. Highly recommend it. I stayed in last night, which was such a relief because I've gone out every night since I've gotten here and I was starting to feel very worn out. I just sat in my window listening to the Pixies and drinking some wine by myself, and it was so refreshing.
I need to go to the Indian restaurant next door! They play awesome music which flows into my bed room window, and the smell is INCREDIBLE. That, and I’m craving Indian food. I attempted to go Monday, but I guess they are closed on Mondays. Oh well.
Okay, I'm off to make dinner. Ciao! xx
