January 16, 2009- Day 4- Campo Night

I finally got to sleep in a bit today since I only had to be at school at 1:30, though our night was disturbed at about 4 in the morning by some drunk kid who tried to open our door and then apologized very loudly when my roommate got up to ask what he was doing. I went on the metro with Marcus and Roy and went to get the “permit to stay” forms completed. Then I gave them a little tour of Via del Corso again, saw the Spanish Steps AGAIN, and wandered around. We got pizza for lunch, I got ripped off for a 2.50 euro tiny can of Nestle peach iced tea, and we took photos of all the designer stores including me with my Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses Roger got me in front of the actual store! Then we got our textbooks for class and headed back to the residence for the afternoon. I hung out here, relaxed, and then got dinner with Lauren at a place next door. We also ventured a few blocks away by the Cipro metro station to a nice bakery and got some sweets. And tonight, we’ll be going out to Campo de’Fiori with our friends to see unattractive American girls dance on bars. Fun times.
So I just got back from Campo de’Fiori. It was awesome. We were a group of about 15 people which was pretty cool too. We split cabs which ended up costing a mere 2 euro per person! There weren’t any drunk ugly girls dancing on bars, just a cool mix of American and Italian kids our age, teens to mid twenties, mingling and hanging out, talking, joking, and having a good time. We went to a place called Sloppy Sam’s where I had a 3.50 Euro beer, then to a place called Gigante which didn’t even have room left for an ant, and then Lauren and I and Roy went with four nice Italian guys our age to a little club around the corner. It was a really relaxed and fun night, and just to see the area and communicate with kids our own age in our own language was quite comforting. We got a few of their numbers so hopefully we’ll all meet up and hang out again sometime. Campo is probably going to be a hotspot for all of us! Overall, a very successful, chill day.
