Mia Eccitazione!

Today was a generally unexciting day consisting of class, studying, and more class with a bit of eating thrown in just for fun. I woke up at 7:30 this morning to get to my 8 o'clock music lecture which just about made us all fall asleep. It ran for 3 hours. It was really interesting, and I enjoy the class, but listening to opera music in a warm, dark classroom with a soft voice talking in the background makes it nearly impossible to stay awake. After that ended I read for art history, took a quick nap and went down for lunch. We had alfredo pasta, green beans, potatoes, quiche, and gelato. After lunch we went to art history. It is definitely my favorite class. My professor designed it for non-art majors (and basically anyone who knows very little about art) so I am finding it very easy even after three lectures. The readings are always interesting. I am excited to show off my knowledge when I act as a tour guide for my parents in April. The night continued with a bit of craziness booking our trip for next weekend, and I decided I am going to Prague with a group of girls who had the whole thing planned instead of waiting around for the girls who wanted to go to Ireland or London. I am all set to go with my flight and hostel booked! There are 8 of us leaving next friday morning at 7:45, and we are staying at Sir Toby's hostel in a 'dorm room for 8-10 people.' Hopefully it will be just us in a room for 8. I am excited to see Prague, but for now my excitement is more over seeing the inside of the Colosseum (including the newly opened basement corridors) and going to mass at the Vatican before taking a tour through it. A few museums are going to be thrown into the mix making this a fun history filled weekend in Roma. The adventures begin at 9 tomorrow morning.

As for tonight, a group of us are planning on going out around 10ish to a few bars. We are going to try to get the feel of the night life in Rome from some of the veterans of the program. They said they would show us all of the best places to go. Should be fun! I will post pictures soon =)
