*tram to scholars*
when we got to campo, susans friend who we met the other day seemed to us that she wasnt exactly the party girl or a big drinker b/c she said she hadnt gone out much and we were slightly scaring her with our stories of what we did when we went out lol...as soon as we got there she was trashed lol, susan ended up taking a lot of shots and her friend came up to us and was saying something about how she showed her boobs to get free shots at the bar hahaha...we died, it was great
we met some english guys that recognized us from the night before so we hung out with them for awhile, met up with some other friends and headed to scholars. this place was so packed, but they had another live band which was pretty good...after awhile we were so annoyed with being pushed around at the bar because it was so busy we decided to go outside for awhile and get some air....i bumped into this guy i met the night before that is a few years older than us and a teacher here by day, but a colosseum bar crawl leader by night haha...he said we can come by and talk to him and his boss about getting a job doing that so i copped that numba yo haha so we may do that which would be cool....susan and i left b/c the bar was so packed and it was about 4 so we walked to the tram and went home and kaitie and jess stayed back with the other girls and the english men...we came back and made some sandwiches out of some things we had around the apt and was pretty good, prob better b/c we were drunk lol...kaitie and jess strolled in around 6 after giving the english visitors a tour of the colosseum and the trevi fountain, awesomeeee to see at night
today we all woke up pretty late, weird ha...susan and i decided to go grocery shopping, then once we got to the street us geniuses realized it was sunday and everythingggg in rome is closed, well except for the necessities aka pizza and gellato places...so we did the next best thing, we hit up the most beautiful bakery we have ever seen, then the pizza place lol
the responsible roommates of mine did hw and some went to the library while i decided to explore and walk around all day...i took the tram to the river, walked around for awhile, walked to a few different piazzas and then made it to piazza trilussa where martina said to go in order to find some drug lovin individuals lol
when i got there i just sat on the stairs and chilled and checked out the scenario...there were a lot of people smoking joints, a few sketchy looking people, a few couples, some families sitting on benches, and some homeless druggie guys who had a dog, about 3 bags holding their whole lifes belongings and a weird little thing, a box made of wood, covered with a sheet, on top were 2 figurines of something and 2 little white mice that they were petting haha...very odd
*one of the homeless guys and the table of mice haha ew*
i walked around for a little and on the way back stopped at the stairs again. this time one of the homeless guys were playing the guitar verrrrry well and singing in italian, it was really cool, but then this other crazy homeless man showed up and started singing with him, it was a little weird haha, then after their duet he weirdo came up to me and started speaking in italian, i tried to tell him i didnt understand and spoke english, he started speaking english to me and then walked over to his beer and his shopping bag of belongings and proceeded to come sit next to me, interesting
i came to find this mans name was tommy, he had been to a bunch of places in america but not NY, he lived in paris for 10 years and the guy playing the guitar was a very nice guy, a very good friend of his, and theyve known e/o for 1 whole week haha...after all this i brought up the topic of smoking and he told me i could find "herb" at the stairs we were at but the guy wouldn't be there for about an hr since it was early in the night, otherwise there are a lot of people who sell there, he then started to roll a joint and thought i would be sharing it with him, this is when i decided it was my cue to leave so i told me new friend tommy id be back in an hr and i had to go b/c i was meeting a friend for dinner.
i then went to leave and found that i had walked in a circle around the piazza for about a half hr then finally found my way to the tram and made it home, i decided not to return to tommys stairs b/c no one relly felt liek going anywhere tonight and i didnt really feel like going there alone again, i dont really know how a homeless man would react if he offered me a joint to share w him and i turned him down again, i presume that could lead to my death and thats not good haha
*the view from the piazza where my homeless friend and i shared a great day haha*
tomorrow i have my art history class early so def taking it easy, i think we;re going to somewhere near the colosseum so that could be cool.
ps i have a bug bite on my arm the size of a pizza, i think these roman mosquitoes will be the death of me
