went to the Serial Killer Museum with Nadia, Pat, and Nikul. I was kind of freaked out at first, thinking that things might pop out and scare me, but once we realized that it really is just a museum, it was pretty interesting. We saw the guy who inspired the Blue Beard legends and a woman from Transylvania who had vampirism and of course Jack the Ripper, Ted Bundy, and the other usuals. They had little scenes with a wax figure of each killer. When you go in, you get headphones to listen to a recording that walks you through the museum. Some of the information was pretty gruesome but it was still really interesting.
went to an movie in Italian at the movie theater across the street from my window. The movie was called "Happy Go Lucky" which is a British film without any real plot, so it wasn't the best choice of movie to watch in a foreign language, but the theater only plays one movie at a time. Even though the movie was mostly dialogue with no plot to follow, we were still able to understand the general gist of the movie. I definitely did not understand even a quarter of the conversations, but I was happy just to catch a word here or there.
