Everyone here is a little bit crazy. Myself included. But it keeps things interesting and I love it.
The things that I've seen here, are going to be instilled into my memory forever, I think.
Classes have been going well, although its quite frustrating when you're caught off guard and asked a question about the reading. I feel as though I'm developing my bullshitting skills quite nicely here. Some professors like to ask you a question, then once they hear the hesitation in your voice, they continue to ask you more questions, even though they know you have no bloody idea what she or you are saying. My favourite 'go to' answer is, "What do you mean?"
My housemates and I threw our first apartment party last night and it was definitely worth the vom we found in both our front and back stairwells. Gross I know, but the combination of all our friends made a fun night I'll struggle to remember.
I also went to see the St Louis Cardinals (baseball) and the St Louis Rams (football) play, to get the full American experience. Both teams won but god its hard to sit through an entire game of either. Baseball is quite slow and uneventful and football, while more exciting, is just frustrating to watch, because they stop the clock at least every 30 seconds. Either to talk tactics or literally have an ad break where some sort of entertainment appears on the big screen. A 15 minute quarter takes at least twice as long to get through. Americans....
Enjoy the photo diary! :)
A Sunday night feast with good food and company at Or's house.
Jacopo and Teresa being cute
My American pal Livingston: I taught him about how we use the term 'ranga' and now he thinks I'm racist lol.
We went to this cute little jazz bar and she gave him a spanking for his birthday. Ben (left) probably wanted to join in on the fun too.
Every weekend the South 40 (where most freshman live) does all you can eat brunch for 3 hours for $9. You get a wrist band and go back and forth as much as your stomach will allow.

Sanjay and Edouard at dinner at Fitz's
With my root beer float at Fitz's. I cannot believe people have this with their dinner. 3 scoops of ice-cream over a giant mug of soft drink. It's like half your daily intake.
We went to a random house party and was subjected to this beautiful performance. If you look closely, there's another head behind him. Lucky guy.
Teresa and I shared nachos at the baseball game. They use paint to decorate the corn chips.
Go Cardinals!
