I'm in the market for a haircut at the moment. I'm not quite sure how that system works here, but Francesco recommended a few places around the apartment. I have a minimal vocab when it comes to hair terms, and I doubt that a place that charges under 50 euro will have an English speaker working there. It should work out, as long as I don't end up with a euro-mullet.

I'm also debating whether or not I should buy an actual spring jacket here. It's so impractical in a place like Minnesota when it goes from 30 to 80 in two weeks, but here it might be a necessity. Or I will just rough it and buy sunglasses instead.

On Thursday night I went to the Verdi Symphony again where we saw a Schumann symphony and another by a 19th century Russian I hadn't heard of. Again, amazing.

I went to an aperitivo on Friday night with Alex, Roshni, and Emily. It was a bit nostalgic because it was at the same place where I had my very first Milanese aperitivo.

Then on Saturday, we had a "Boys of Via Borsieri 30" fest. This consisted of the fellows in our building (me, Alex, Charlie, and Sohta, the newcomer). We went to an aperitivo at Mexicali (definitely one of the best bangs for your buck in Milan) and then met up with some others at a club later. Good times.

Francesco and Giuseppe went home over the weekend because their semester just ended, so Charlie and I had the apartment to ourselves. It was nice to be able to stretch out a bit.

Last night I saw an incredible play with my theatre class called L'ultima sera di Carnevale (The Last Night of Carnevale) by Carlo Goldoni. The big ensemble cast was fairly young, and it was in a small, hip theatre. We were in the second row (about 5 feet from the actors), and the acting was really good. It definitely gave me a better impression of Italian theatre than Liola.

I haven't been taking many pictures lately. Maybe I will make it a goal to get on that and then post some here next week.

By the way, if you haven't noticed, my English is going to pot.
