Just Another Week

The fact that I can be sitting in Rome and say just another week is incredible, but I guess that's the way it is!   Before I get started, here are some pictures of the Pope that I screenshot from that video that definitely did not upload on here:

 Like I said, we were incredibly close.

So anyways, onto this week...  I had classes, and midterms start on Wednesday so the stress started setting in last week.  But none of that is abnormal.  Wednesday night was calcio and my team played the purple team.  We did take a team picture this time (still without our t-shirts), but I don't know who it was that took the picture and regardless I can't find it on facebook...  it shall happen eventually!  So Thursday was the last day of classes, and getting gelato was not the first thing I did with my weekend!  First I went to go tutor because the woman I work with needed to reschedule to Thursday just this once, and then Anne, Judy, Jen and I went downtown and hung out and by the end of the night we did have gelato, so the streak is unbroken. 

 We saw this, Anne was in awe

There's more pictures somewhere, as there are more pictures from Ostia Antica last week, but Judy doesn't upload often.  I'll put them in a blog post eventually.   So that was Thursday night.  Friday was a pretty laid back day... we just hung out and did homework and such, and then Friday night was movie night.  Anne, Christine, Carly, Aaron, and I watched American Psycho and then just hung out in our room for a while.  It was a lot of fun.  Saturday we did homework and then after dinner Anne, Christine, Carly, Aaron and I (again) went downtown to get gelato (yes again) and go to Secret Bakery (which is delicious I might add).  We ran into Kyle while we were waiting for the bus and he decided to join us as well, yay new friends!!!

Entrance to Secret Bakery, just because it's super cool

So that was pretty much it for Saturday.  Today I had a bunch of reading and such to get done but I was sick and tired of the library here so I just jumped on a bus and went down to Piazza Cavour to study.  It was honestly so refreshing to just sit downtown and get some reading done outside in the beautiful weather and people watch and such.  I had no idea how much I needed some time off campus alone like that, but it was easily one of the best decisions of the week.  And come on, if you have to study, who wouldn't want to do it here:

So I certainly didn't do anything unusual this week, but I enjoyed every minute of it.  And this weekend I'm going to Barcelona!!!  Ahh I am so excited, first trip out of the country and I'll get to use a language I actually kind of understand!  It'll be a blast, and I'm sure I'll have a more interesting post next week!
