Random Musings

I've been in Florence for exactly one month today.

I joined a gym that's really near my house and pretty cheap. The only thing is that it's almost all guys, and almost all of them are super jacked, and most of them seem like they know each other. I'm just the shrimpy little American who isn't jacked enough, doesn't know enough Italian, and nobody knows where he came from or why he's there.

I bought another sweater (only six euro). This one's purple, which is the dominant color in Florence. On the one hand, I feel pretty legit having a purple sweater. On the other hand, I feel like 1-year-ago Cooper would be absolutely disgusted by sell-out Florentine Cooper.

I don't remember if I already wrote this in the blog, and I can't be bothered to go back and check. Last week I took a cooking class where we made three different kinds of pasta from scratch, different sauces, and tiramisu. It was super duper good.

I found a little grocery store near my school with a deli counter in the way back where you can order panini. It's delicious. And way cheap.

That's all that comes to mind. I'm going to Ravenna tomorrow (leaving at the crack of dawn, again) and possibly Viareggio on Sunday.
