Our apartment is falling apart!

Literally. (Well, maybe not literally...)

Earlier this evening, our power went out randomly. We weren't using more electricity than we usually do so my roommates and I were thoroughly confused. I called the landlady and she said she can't do anything about it until tomorrow morning. So we called Antonella, our program's "on-site coordinator," (basically our go-to woman if we ever have a problem or question about anything) and she told us to flip some switch and the power came back on. 

I just got out of the shower and there were mysterious puddles of water: one in the bathroom right by the tub and the other in our "hallway" (it's not really a hallway; I don't know how else to describe it) that has no trail. Water is probably seeping from under the tub because it was poorly made and/or the overflow drain wasn't mounted properly. In any case, that's another issue we'll have to bring up with the landlady tomorrow morning. 

Now, I would like to share with you verbatim a special note she left for us: 
"WE SHALL   YOU DONT SMUDGE   OR ATTACK   ANYTHING TO WALLS (ARE AVAIBLE CORK-BOARDS  IN EVERY  ROOMS), OR TO DAMAGE OR DIRTY FURNITURES

OUR BEST REGARS............AND ENGIOJ FLORENCE"

Oh, in other news, I'm going to Chianti this Saturday for hiking and wine tasting! It should be Fun!! "Fun!!" with a capital F and two exclamation points! 

I would also like to apologize for my lack of posts/photos. It turns out I'm a terrible and lazy blogger. Perhaps. And since my last post, I made a new friend, attended a wine and cheese reception, visited the Uffizi and the Ferragamo shoe museum. Perhaps I shall make posts on that later. Perhaps. (Probably.)

MY BEST REGARS.............. xx thip
