quick midnight thoughts

• Police officers here in Italy wear incredible uniforms, speak adorable broken english, are actually fit and muscular, and are quite handsome. Compared to the Elon police, oy... this is definetely something America needs to pick up on
• I don't think it's possible to not like anything I will eat here
• Getting lost is starting to become a daily event and even kind of fun
• Shopping street is really cheap and if I don't watch out my money is going to fly away... :o
• There's an organic market the first sunday of every month (amazing) and a fair trade store which I will hopefully find tomorrow. Apparently they have stuff from Chiapas... so excited for that!
• I must be immune to time change because the only thing I'm having trouble with is eating at 8 pm at night... urg I'm such a grandma

and to add to that list:

• I should not drink espresso after 10pm or I can't sleep for another 4 hours...
• Food shopping is so much fun, and a lot less expensive than I thought it was going to be
• I truly am the most indecisive person in the world
• Looking at all the pictures of friends and family on my wall make me slightly homesick and perhaps I shouldn't have done that
• The fact that the Umbra institute pays for 100% more electricity than normal Italians use just so that we can be somewhat comfortable in our apartments makes me feel sick inside. Why can't Americans just accept what they have and live with it? Why does everything always have to be in excess? Why do we take SO MUCH FOR GRANTED?
• Leaving is going to be really really hard
