- Impressionism just adds happiness to the world. Its just massively idealized drawings of nature, and in the best way possible. Awesome traveling impressionist art exhibit that I visited, seen below was my favorite painting.
- I always thought that the Beatles Anthology collection was a greatest hits disc series, like a final collection of their favorites. Little did I know that its a crazy collection of new songs, variant recordings, obscure versions of old favorites, mess-ups, interviews, and demos of songs. I got it from a friend, and it is completely life-changing.
- So, what about the Bills draft? I see what was going on with the Spiller pick, that the best way to hide a bad line is with a player that can create on his own. But fancy players like that arent for the Buffalo Bills' of the league, and I dont know when they'll realize that. Ultimately, I'm buying into whatever this Nix/Gailey combo is going for, so I'll tough it out through this upcoming 3-13 season, and I'm hoping Ralph will to, because I think their goals are long-sighted but I think it will work.

I'll update one more time before I head out on this trip! Winding down finals right now and getting ready to head out. I'm so happy I have that last couple days in Rome to reflect on it all and spend some time in the city I've grown to love so so much. Its been a hectic week of studying and paper writing, trip planning, final Rome adventuring, and immune system failing.
Can you get much more bittersweet than having to say goodbye to this majestic city that fascinates me and stimulates my senses to the extreme and will forever remind of an almost dream like period of my life, but at the same time being able to say hello to family and friends that I'm closest with combined with totally idealized thoughts of one last childhood summer back home?
Goodbye for now :-)

ReplyDeleteI can't believe your semester is over! Enjoy the last few weeks. I know you're excited to get home and see everyone again but you will most likely never have this experience again and you'll want to be back in Europe like the day after you get home. Can't wait to see you though! Hope the last trip is awesome. Vienna is georgeous. Enjoy and be safe!
