va bene cosi
ive been rather absent from the blogging world lately. so much so that i cant really remember whats happened lately to write about, so ill just write about my "weekend."
thursday we had to go to Rome for a history field trip. Lauren harper and i rode the train down together, first class baby, and trekked to the parliament. we heard the budget guy speak in italian, heard the US ambassador to italy speak in English, and toured the Parliament. solid day i guess, but disappointing that i wont get to go next weekend for the entire weekend, because everyone changed their plans on me. no comment. had a bad bus experience in which the bus left the city instead of going near my house.. hmm. got home though.
friday afternoon, brad and i watched Lost--a crazy episode too!! and him, will and i went to Chiaroscuro, this cafe, to drink coffee and play cards. Then, Ashley got in from london later that night! woo! i picked her up at her hotel, we ate dinner, drank a lot of wine, and met up with Breena and Nell at a bar. It was so weird being in Europe with both Breena and Ashley, but mostly when Breena and i started reminiscing about st. joes in like 3rd-5th grades. And i have found that i cant really remember who i went to middle school with, and who i went to high school with. Anyways, even tho it was like 20 below, ashley still wanted gelato so we took her to vivoli--only the best for our redhead. took a cab home from ashleys hotel.. a very expensive one. crap.
saturday i met ash and we did some major shopping, the first time for me since being here! i actually found 3 sweaters i loved, which is rare for me here, and another pashmina. i also did some gift shopping. we ate at the mercato centrale, mmmm, and then ash and i went to moyo to use the internet and watch grey's anatomy. Cori, brad, will, and nell met us there for aperitivi later on! i bought one glass of wine and got lots of appetizers.. nice. then we ventured off to find dinner somewhere even though we were full, and we picked a rather mediocre place, sadly. it was funny though- what a ridiculous group of people in one place hahah. we could not find a place that would let us just hang out and chill, so eventually we gave up and went homeeee.
sunday i finally had to do some work :( i wrote my art history paper, but also met ashley for lunch and dinner later. also had a train fiasco with ashleys train to arezzo.. my bad. ashley and i had a tearful goodbye.. ok not so tearful.. cause ill see her in like 2 weeks, but yes, she left. sigh. she said she was tired of being hit on.
