After the most relaxing weekend I've ever experienced, Finals hit! I spent the weekend on the island of Procida off the coast of Naples. Such an incredible place, the entire island was only about 3 miles long, with crystal clear waters and beautiful cliffs. My roomate and I hopped a train to Naples early Saturday morning, arrived and asked the guy in the information booth how to get to the island of Ischia:
Come andiamo a Ischia?
Perche non Procida?
Non Capisco, che cosa e procida?
What is your language?
English....
Ischia sucks, go to Procida.
Okay...
Went something like that, he basically talked us into going to Procida, where we were able to rent a cottage for just 30 bucks for the night! I laid in the sand, got burnt, then went for a swim in the still FREEZING mediteranean.

Sunday: Back to Roma, back to school back to tests and studies. I just took an Art history exam... I think i did Okay, he threw in a couple of slide identifications that I couldn't recognize. Oh well, by the time i get my grades i'll be somewhere in Eastern Europe.

I'm beginning to get little longings for Philly... It'll be nice to get back and find a place this summer. Start school again in the fall... I'm Graduating soon?! WHAT?!

I guess I'm a grown up now.

Going to a sweet jazz club tonight, tomorrow- studio and study.

Such a shame you passed up on Ischia. Its very beautiful. Not much to do as of yet but theres cheap place to stay right in the harbor and the beach was amazing. Have you been north yet? Venezia is nice to see, I tend to find myself there on weekends getting lost in the waterways, its fun.
