*Went to the beach in August, other than that I did a shitton of nothing other than lose weight.
*I met a crazy Finnish girl named Ellie midway through the month and subsequently had a bunch of crazy adventures.
*Milan was a ghost town for all of August.
*I have come to figure out that it is a woman's world out here.
*I've realized that there is a bunch of racism directed at Eastern europeans...womp womp womp this actually was pretty baffling for me learn.
*Tim Pearlman came to visit me while he was on his european escapades. It was so nice to see someone from home and I got to show him around.
*September brought on all those work opportunities that I had expected to have right off the bat.
*Working with a lot of children (teaching English) and it really brings me much joy in life to play, sing and dance with them.
*I have REALLY been missing my friends back home :(
*Many Spells of paranoia and loneliness. I have a hard time trusting anyone I meet especially in this particular city. People are very superficial and are always trying to get the best end of the deal.
*I have developed quite a routine with work, and I still have plenty of free time to do everything I want and to cook my own meals. Win all around!
*If I never did this before I deserve a gold medal for making the most out of all my articles of clothing and looking fly as fuck.
*John Joseph Nichols IV came back and is staying here in Milan. Something that brings much relief to me. So I do have someone to trust here!
*I miss intellectual conversations with people.
*People do not want to know me as a person. People want to know me as an American.
*Being American
*Feeling American
*Trying to not act so American.
*The situations repeat themselves over and over again. Same conversations, different faces.
*I have had to cut down on my black-out nights here seeing as they limit my experiences by not able to remember them. Only consolation I get is people telling me the next day "you looked like you were having fun". This isn't enough.
*Really missing the little things.
That's all I can say about now/ the past weeks.
I need to get myself more motivated to update, I just feel like everyday blends into another and next thing I know the weekend is here and I'm a wreck. I guess I do have a lot more to say but these things I want to say are going to be a recovering theme I am sure so I'm too lazy to start the thought process.
