I'm already neglecting my blog. Craaaap.
I'm still studying, still trying to read. Everything is difficult, and I'm really scared, but I'm also getting really, really excited. I love looking at my little yellow house at Via Enrico Cialdini 3! And you should, too!

I've also started checking out a few of the places that were recommended to me by people who went on the trip last year: such as La Tana, a popular and supposedly fun restaurant/bar. For those curious, it's actually called La Tana dell'Orso--The Bear's Den.
In other news, my visa is in Richmond, so close to being within my reach! The study abroad office is supposed to mail it to me. They aren't comfortable allowing someone else to pick it up for me, even if I tell them who's coming and give them permission. Nasha Lewis also sounded unhappy about sending it via UPS and said it would be best if I could come pick it up in person, but I'm really not thrilled with the prospect of driving five hours and spending about 35 bucks in gas to walk into a building for less than five minutes and then turn around. Maybe I'm wrong in feeling this way, but the Education Abroad office really doesn't seem flexible or understanding in interacting with students. I'm just praying, after they send me my passport, not to have to correspond with Nasha Lewis any more.
Today, I plan to:
- pay my credit card bill with my plane ticket on it
- pay the balance on my student account (which I believe is the tuition charge, at this point)
- pay my rent (this has nothing to do with Perugia, but I don't want to forget it)
Which means that in a few hours, I will be worth several thousand dollars less than I am right now. Which makes me feel like this guy:
