il tredici di agosto

Ciao, belli! Hope everyone is well. I like how I refer to my fan base as "everyone"-- or how I just called it a fan base. What a joke.
Everything is still lovely in Italia. The sandwich adventure is still going strong, even though we had to stand in the rain eating #4 today. And it had parsley sauce on it. Which is not something that I recommend to anyone. HOWEVER we had a hilarious Asian lady with grape flip flops as a fellow diner. Obviously I took a picture. Asians crack me up.
School was even more miserable today because I only got 3 hours of sleep...because we thought it would be a good idea to stay out until 3:30 with a group of outrageous French kids that we met last night. Well, we didn't meet them until like 2 o'clock, actually. We started off the night up at Piazza Michaelangelo. It's an incredible viewpoint from a mountain that overlooks the entire city. Pretty much whenever you see pictures of Firenze, they are from that vantage point. Not going to lie, it was absolutely beautiful. I can't believe I get to live here for a year. We met up with Marina and her three friends who are visiting while they study in Paris, and we tried to go to this ridiculous club on the mountain called FLO. However, the bouncer wouldn't let us in because the boys were wearing t-shirts. Are you serious? P.S. When I say bouncer I mean sassy Italian man with a sweater tied around his shoulders. If it had come to blows, I definitely could have taken this guy. But in a competition of pure sass, he had me beat for sure.
So then we walked down the mountain to this piazza where we've hung out a few times and that's where we met the outrageous French kids. One of them was actually hilarious and he was telling me about how much he likes "It's Always Sunny"--then he burst into song and choreographed dancing, as you can see below. I wasn't familiar with the song, but it obviously didn't stop me from being hysterical. Look at the kid on the right's face near the end. Maybe for those of you who are avid viewers it will be even more funny?
That sort of nonsense continued until 3:30 AM when I finally decided that I was going to stop being an idiot and go home. Waking up at 7:30 was actually painful. Then I learned we had a test on the difference between the passato prossimo and the imperfetto. I'll let you all imagine how well that went. When I got home from school I passed out for 4 hours until dinner time. Which is my favorite time :) Currently mentally preparing myself to go out again. Love and miss you all!
Va bene.
