Expanding my horizons

Is it embarrassing blogging about making friends? I guess. Am I going to anyways? Yes. And will I maybe feel like a first grader doing so? You betcha.

However silly I feel admitting it, I’m excited that I’m making friends outside my Chapman group. Considering that consists of oh, six people, it’s about time I’m branching out. I may not have come to Italy to meet and play and party every night, but I didn’t come solely for solitude either. And partying is part of who I am; it’s nice to find others who share that particular quality.

My friend invited me to come out with her the other night after our cooking class. It was someone in her group’s birthday and they had rented out a private room at one of our bigger dance clubs in the area, so I came along for the ride. It was refreshing to get out and meet other people, because isn’t half the fun of studying abroad getting to do things you wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to?

I had a lot of fun that night, and met back up with the same friend later in the week to try this place called the Shot CafĂ©. They accept US dollars as they do Euros, making all of the drinks about a third cheaper than they would be normally. Pretty cool for us starving students. They also have a million different kinds of shots, including ones called the “Sexy Woman”, served with flaming blood orange slices, and which we ordered.

Everything here is such a novelty :)
