Una Settimana in Centro!

Spent this past week with Dad, Alli and Ever. Being spoiled in Florence is such a treat! Got to try so many great restaurants in Florence and get even more familiar with the lay of the land. It did rain pretty frequently which is quite the downer :( but Florence is still great even with an obscene amount of puddles.
OK. NEWFLASH... this is terribly NOT politically correct but a NUN just walked into the library and I almost lost my cool. I immediately called up Kelly, who told me I should take a picture of her. But once I heard the nun speaking english I decided it would be a bad idea.
Anyway... The weather is still rainy, the food is still terrible (on campus), and I still it in my room far too often.
Tomorrow Tuesday Kelly, Dani and I will be venturing to the Syracuse U campus in town to cast our votes on the Italian version of Super Tuesday... We're not sure if they'll count the same but we're making the effort anyway.
And although it might be late, I have officially decided to drain Florence of all it's worth. As in go see every museum, club, bathroom floor, cloud formation, pizza oven, sale, Arno bridge, garden etc etc until I leave in May and return who knows when.
Lastly, I've decided to organize a play on campus and am holding auditions this coming thursday and friday. Hopefully all will work out for the better and come april there will be toga-clad NYU'ers flying across the garden stage in the historic gardens of La Pietra!
