Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, Rosolina really knows how to throw a curveball. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Ha! Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I’m staying at this cute little B&B on Via della Libertà. Super cozy, but the Wi-Fi? Ugh, don’t even get me started. I’m tryin’ to prep for my lecture, and it’s like the internet’s on a coffee break. I’m pacing around, muttering to myself, “C’mon, I need to impress these students!”
Finally, I decide to hit the streets. Rosolina’s got this vibe, ya know? It’s a mix of beachy chill and small-town charm. I stroll down Via dei Pini, and wow, the pine trees are like, towering over me. I’m feelin’ all philosophical, like, “Am I just a tiny human in this big ol’ world?” Deep stuff, right?
But then, BAM! I trip over a cobblestone. Classic me. I’m sprawled out, and this old dude walks by, chuckling. I’m like, “Thanks for the help, buddy!” He just shrugs and keeps walking. Rude!
Anyway, I finally make it to the lecture hall at the local university. It’s on Via Roma, and let me tell ya, the students are a mixed bag. Some are super eager, others look like they just rolled outta bed. I mean, c’mon, it’s 10 AM!
I start my lecture on contemporary art, and halfway through, this one kid raises his hand. “What’s the point of art anyway?” he asks. I’m like, “Dude, really? You’re in an art class!” But I keep it cool. I say, “Art’s like pizza. Everyone’s got their own toppings.” They laugh, and I’m feelin’ like a rockstar for a sec.
But then, outta nowhere, the fire alarm goes off! Seriously? I’m thinkin’, “This is how I go down? In Rosolina, during a lecture?” We all pile out, and I’m trying to keep it together. I mean, I’m in Italy! I should be sipping espresso, not evacuating a building!
Once we’re outside, I spot this gelato shop across the street. It’s called Gelateria da Marco, and I’m like, “Forget the fire drill, I need gelato!” So, I sneak away, and oh man, the pistachio flavor? Life-changing. I’m standing there, licking my cone, and I see the students still outside, looking all confused. I’m like, “Hey, who wants gelato?” They perk up, and suddenly I’m the coolest prof ever.
After the chaos, we head back inside. I finish the lecture, and honestly, it goes better than I expected. I even get a round of applause! I’m feeling like a champ.
But then, I step outside, and it’s pouring rain. Like, seriously? I didn’t sign up for a monsoon! I dash down Via della Libertà, trying to find shelter. I duck into this little café, and it’s packed. I’m soaked, hair’s a mess, and I’m just trying to dry off.
I order a cappuccino, and the barista, this super friendly lady, gives me a free pastry. I’m like, “Wow, you’re a lifesaver!” She smiles and says, “In Rosolina, we take care of each other.” Aww, that’s sweet!
Finally, the rain lets up, and I decide to explore a bit more. I wander down to the beach, and it’s stunning. The waves are crashing, and I just stand there, soaking it all in. I think about how crazy today was. From tripping to fire alarms to gelato, it’s been a rollercoaster.
As the sun sets, I’m sitting on the sand, feeling grateful. Rosolina, you wild little town, you’ve got my heart. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
