freshman year: revisited
I’ve been spending some time with my new roommates and they’re all really nice and cool. I’m pleasantly surprised. Yesterday I wanted to go to a discotecca (dance club), but people weren’t willing to pay for the cab ride home. It’s weird adjusting to people who are willing to pay 4e for a beer but not for a cab. I recently found out that many of them are under 21, so I guess the novelty hasn’t worn off yet. They pound wine to get drunk; weird… I love finally being one of the older ones, though.
The girls here are far more awesome than my freshman dorm mates. They’re not total princesses intent only on drinking and looking for Italian boys. Well, except for this one girl… The other night we went out to one of the plazas to have drinks and gelatto. We bumped into another group of guys and girls and this one girl was really intent on finding Italian guys. She picked up these two who lead us to the Campo di Fiori. They were pretty sketchy and not attractive. She kept on wanting to go off with them, so we went with here because we were worried about her safety. She obviously wasn’t. Eventually she ended up with a bar with the guys and we went home. Fortunately, she got home safely, but I thought she was being very careless. I’m not used to this kind of stupidity since all of my friends at home know how to take care of themselves.
Any recommendations on what I should use to put my photos on the web?
What kind of music are they playing in the discotecca? The dance music here seems to follow the euro scene trends (natch). Also, what do the every-day folk think of Berlusconi?
For fotos, I hear snapfish is fairly cool. Personally tho I just upload them to a server and use tinypic to link to them.
Ciao…

A lot of the music they play in stores and at clubs is American. Just today I heard Avril’s happy ending song, but I’ve also heard some Alanis Morsette and other 90’s music. 80’s and 90’s rock plays in the clubs.
My italian is not sufficiently good to hold a deep conversation with an Italian, but I’m learning. The story is amusing, though. Thanks
