Food Coma

I don't have much time because I still have to do a fair amount of reading and prepare a slide for tmrw, but I think I haven't really been telling y'all what I've been up to. So recently what has been going on and consuming all of everyones' time is the begining of the project that we will be workin on for the rest of the semester. So as I've already said I really like our group (even if other ppl are trying to show us up). We've been spending a fair amount of time looking at the area, it isn't anything particularly amazing, but it's not so horrible either. Yesterday we went to see what it was like at night (dead by the way) and ended up in somme store for little kids buying toy type thiings (including a fairy princess wand for a friend). So yeah, that's that.

In other news my weekends have been filling up very fast. This weekend is my birthday weekend and Marla is coming to visit YAY! The next weekend is a field trip, after that I was planning on taking a trip to Brussels/Amsterdam but it doesn't look like that will be happening. Upon looking at my schedule i realized btw field trips and visits I don't have much time, so I might go and visit David in Geneva this weekend (for those of you who don't recognize these names they're home friends). So Emily will be coming the weekend after that, then there is a long trip then spring break. So yay for friends!!

So most of my friends are talking about how they could stay in Rome forever, but I'm not one of those ppl. Maybe I've just gotten so used to moving around so much that I can no longer stay in one place, or maybe it's the lack of green near me, or ALL the monuments, or being w/ the same ppl all the time and not having other outlets... but yeah sometimes I get antsy. I've also realized that I've been here 3 weeks and I want to get out more. Part of it is that I am in class all the time, or on field trips but yeah I'm going to be better from here on out, exploring farther (although I've already seen lots through differnt classes) I think I need a hobby.

The other thing that has been going on and is a happy thing to report is that I am teaching myself to cook (or at least follow recipes. Today I made crepes, w/ brocoli, onions, artichoke hearts, peppers, and tomatos w/ a cheese sauce (and bananas and nutella for desert) well Caitlin really made the crepes, but hey, I mixed the batter? I also made a very good vegetarian lasanga the other day. There is hope left for me!
