Sono Stanca

Today has been a rather long day. We got up and went to the Campo de Fiori where we met Claudio to go on a tour of a museum he had never been to. He was all worried that not all of us would make it on to the bus so I volunteered to be in charge of group two if anything happened. Because of this he now knows my name and was very impressed by me. Yay! The museum was different but cool. It was a museum that was in a building that orginally was a steam making factory. Now they display industrial art with classical statues to have an interesting counterbalance. After the museum trip we all took a bus back to Campo de Fiori and went and had lunch. I had the quattro formaggi pizza which is quickly becoming my favorite pizza here. Then I had some amazing lampone (raspberries) and cioccolato gelato for desert. Then we had class which focused on the Italian economy. Apparently the future of the euro is dependent on the future of Italy's economy. If italy declares bankruptcy like Greece, Ireland, and Portugal it will send the euro down the tubes. After that lovely piece of information we had a short break and then a quiz on "si impersonale", "espressioni negativi" e "espressioni pronomi indiretti e relativi". I believe I did really well on the quiz. After the quiz we got to leave early so I went back home and took a nap before we all had dinner and then went out to Scholar's Irish Pub again for karaoke night. That was fun. I got to sing twice this time, Raise Your Glass-Pink and Hungry Like the Wolf- Duran Duran. Fun times. Had my first Tequila Sunrise which was apparently very poorly mixed according to the others who tried it. Who knew that Italians would be bad at making Mexican drinks? :P Then back home to pack real quick for Venice and then up early to go to the train station tomorrow.

I probably won't have internet access in Venice so expect the next report on Saturday. Ciao!
