Tuesday: Today nothing exciting really happened. I got up and had class from 9:30 until 11:30 was done with classes for the day. After Italian I went with Caitlin to find the post office because she had some post cards and a birthday card to her dad to mail. The post office here is so intimidating. We walked in and had no idea what were supposed to do. So we left after looking dumb for 20 minutes and got some lunch to go at Pascucci’s. I was going to go back to our room to get some reading I had to do for tomorrow and come back to the library to do it but when I got to the room they were cleaning it so I couldn’t go in. so I just went to the library and got on the computer for a half hour before going back to a clean room…at least we thought it was going to be clean. When I got back to the room Caitlin was already there and she had started a list of things that were not good about our “freshly cleaned” room. They didn’t dust anything, put a wad of hair in the toilet, and didn’t even sweep the floor. We were really mad about this. Sadly there was nothing we could do about it so we will just have to hope for better next week. After dinner Alex and I decided to go on a walk to see Castle St. Angelo and the Vatican at night all lit up. This walk was fabulous. It’s about a 20 minute walk to the Vatican if you walk really fast but Alex and I weren’t so I think it took a little longer. We made there and tool tons of pictures. They are both so pretty! I love going to see places both at night and during the day because they look so different. We found a cheap gelato place and got some fantastic gelato and walked back home. When we got home we had to finish our budget. Doing things like this just makes me feel sick. I didn’t know if I wanted to know how much money it would cost me for the next 10 weeks or not. But we finished. I had the worst headache from it but I’m glad we did it so I know that I can’t buy anything until after finals if I have money then. None of us were tired and we had to force ourselves to go to bed when 2 came around. When we turned off the light we couldn’t stop laughing about stupid things we were saying. Lindsey started to take quotes down on her iPod so we could laugh at them when we got up Wednesday. It was a fun night but we needed some sleep because three of us had an 8 AM class Wednesday.
Wednesday: Getting up today was horrible. We only had like 4 and a half hours of sleep by the time we got up. When we got to philo we found out that we were watching a movie so we were excited. This movie was so gross. It was probably the most disgusting movie I had ever seen. We have to finish it in class on Friday which I am not looking forward to at all. After philo Lindsey, Alex and I came back to our room and fell asleep until 12. Alex was meeting her aunt’s friend at Pascucci’s for lunch at 1:30 and I was going to go with her. We were secretly hoping that she will adopt us for the weekend and cook for us but we have no idea if she will. I had class from 2:20-5:30 after lunch and I was not looking forward to it at all. We were talking about the same things in both my anthro and art history classes and it was going to be so boring. It ended up not being as bad as I thought it would be. The 2 classes ended up going a lot faster that I thought they would and I found out that instead of having class on Friday we are going to a museum. I’m pretty excited for this. After class I went back to my room. Lindsey and Caitlin were trying to come up with a dance scene from a movie that they could do and tape to send to some of their friends. It was hilarious watching them trying to pick out what they wanted to do. They weren’t able to pick one so they didn’t do it yet but when they do I’m pretty sure it’s going to be fantastic! After dinner I came back up to the room ready to do my Italian. I actually got it done pretty quickly. The 4 of us in the room checked each other’s and I’m pretty confident with my work. After the Italian was done Alex and I tried to figure out how to book our seats/beds for our train to Paris over thanksgiving. We figured out that we couldn’t do it online and that we are going to have to go to the train station tomorrow to do it with someone that works there. I’m glad we are getting this all done now so we won’t have to worry about it when it gets closer. I ended my night with watching some Glee. Yes that’s right Alex found a way to watch American TV online. I was so excited! It really helped with my homesickness to get to watch some Glee. I can’t wait to watch some more over the next 10 weeks. We also found out that we only have 10 weeks left in Italy including this week that’s over half done now. I can’t decide if I’m sad about this or excited to be going home soon. Oh well, I guess that’s something to be thought about another day!
ciao bella!
