ti prendo e ti porto via - vasco rossi

i feel like i haven't written in years. and so much has been going on. i feel a bit as though my attention span has been waning. paris! switzerland! italian blues jam sessions! but i don't want to write about anything until i feel like it.

today i loved italy. i loved ferrara. worked on project for a couple hours with lau and manon. manon and i made some pasta soup for lunch and ate some cookies with espresso. chatted a bit about the universal overworked architecture student life. and then packed up and biked into town. there was a craft/food/ candy stand fair set up so we parked our bikes and wandered a bit. the air is finally crisp and wintery, christmas lights are strung across via mazzini and it smelled like sweets and roasted chestnuts. couples waked their baby prams and old men held their fragile wives' elbows. it was beautiful and i could think was. i cannot believe that i am here right now. i didn't buy anything but the market will be there next sunday. so we shopped a bit and i tried on my first pair of boots. no luck. but we are heading to bologna tomorrow after her class so there is still hope.

going to (finally) officially enroll in school/classes. sigh. why are we three so bootleg?

ps. finally found some italian music i can sing to. and had an italian dinner with actual italian friends. how exciting.
