Well I completely overslept today after a fun, late night out at Campo with the roomies, friends, neighbors, and locals Lorenzo, Davide, Patricio, and Alessandro. We were supposed to be at school around 10 AM to download some programs to be able to access the internet from our laptops at the school but I don’t think too many people went (and I don’t plan on bringing my laptop all that way anyway). I slept until about 1 PM, got up and went on the computer for a bit, and then took a shower. I had my Rice Krispies for breakfast!
Later on in the day, Lauren and I went to the supermarket and got some food to make dinner. Accomplishment: I signed up for a GS supermarket card so I can get all their discounts! We even got 2 cards at once so Lauren has one too. We came back to the apartment and hung out for a while and I mostly Skyped Roger all afternoon. Then I called up Mia and she came over for dinner too. We relaxed and had an amazing meal and EVERYONE raved about it. I made pasta with proscuitto, mushrooms, spinach, and fresh basil in a oil/lemon/garlic/white wine cream sauce. My other roommate and some of her friends made food in another room, tasted mine, liked mine better and came back for more!
We then met a neighbor down our tiny little hallway named Gillian who goes to Cornell (the only Cornell student in our program). Just for the hell of it, I asked if she knew Monica and she DOES! So crazy! We chatted for a few hours, then Mia went home. Now, we’re getting ready for bed because tomorrow is our excursion to the medieval hill town of Todi which is in Umbria (about 2- 2 ½ hours from Rome) and the castle of Titignano where we’ll be served something like 15 courses of food with unlimited wine. Everyone is really excited and so am I. It should be a fun trip and a good bonding experience!
