People Watching

Its been so warm, to the point where it makes me glad, once again, that I am here and NOT in Geneseo where it just snowed. lols. sorry.
To sum up some of life...
They took our kitchen away. Yeah, somewhat irritating, but still available kitchen, is no longer. Apparently they were breaking some sort of building codes with it and the health department or whoever is in charge of that nonsense, came and told them they have to close it. So i now officially ONLY have a microwave. woo. Im more pissed about this simply because as much as i would love to eat out all the time, I am broke. and therefore, I need to be able to make my .70 cent dinners out of spaghetti and store bought sauce. the roomies and I are planning to stage a coupe and demand either a hotplate (or two) or money. because yeah, we're broke.
On a happier note, mitch and shikha came to visit Firenze, and it was very nice to have a bit of a 845 reunion in Italia. We went around and alex and I played tour guide. There are SO many more people here then when we first came. I noticed it alot today and this past weekend after looking at pictures i had taken my first month here. Theres never anyone in the foreground of pictures and now getting one without 60 tourists in it as well is near impossible. The Ponte Vecchio is SO crowded now, it always amazes me when i walk over to it and see a vast sea of people instead of just a little group.
I spent my entire day people watching today. People are just...interesting. It is sometimes just kinda fascinating to quietly observe people being people. If you sit in a spot long enough, you become some what invisible, and people just ignore you. And once that happens you can really just watch people and its so interesting. I watched a group of 3 elderly, somewhat wealthy looking american southerners get haggled into buying cheap sunglasses from one of the illegal vendors...they looked so oblivious as to what he was doing too. there was an adorable family with a little girl riding on her dads shoulders. An over enthusiastic mother of two 5 year old boys who wanted the perfect picture of her family taken, a happy young couple, funny asians all complete with matching visors...the list goes on. there was another boy who looked about my age, who looked ike he was doing the same thing as me and just trying to blend into the scenery and watch everyone.
I left eventually and made my way around trying to find things, little things that werent so in your face Florence, to take pictures of. I want pictures of the little things that I did everyday too...the things I pass all the time on the way to school, the same people or things i see. I think im going to try and take as many picture of cool doors or windows as i can and make that a photo project.
I dunno how its already Easter next weekend, and I have a little over a month left here. I cant decide if im happy or sad about that.
