Friday time is heeere... lots of (what's that lyric anyway) and cheer?

Well Friday is finally here... YAY!!!! What will we do to celebrate? Same thing we ALWAYS do, work, work, and more work. I got a chance to sleep in for a bit but then it was over to the palazzo for some ever so fantastic art history reading, hooray, house churches and dismembering dead people because it's holy! After that we had a lecture from someone at the embassy which reminded me a bit of all the sex ed classes that you always hear about in the movies (don't have sex because you will get STDs, and DIE!!) except it was more along the lines of "these are real stories of people who drank too much and are paralyzed, or DEAD" I know it's sad but just the way of presenting... I get a little frustrated with all that because honestly, don't be stupid... it's the same lecture that they give when they're doing college tours "the neighborhood is fine, but walk w/ someone..." Luckily I got to leave a bit early becuase we had an evening art history class. We trecked all over going to an escavation and to the national museum, both were really cool but by the time we got to the museum we were all exausted, I would like to go back sometime though. Then I came home and had Shabbat dinner with 2 other cornell ppl and a girl my friend met from dartmouth... the night finished off with watching pan's labarynth. Tomorrow we have a field trip to hadrian's villa so i really should sleep... i also have to take 40 pictures before tues... and go visit my neighborhood, oh yes I forgot to mention! Yesterday we picked our groups (well kind of picked they asked for skills then we seperated into different groups trying to put dif ppl w/ dif skills in them) we will be working w/ the same groups for the rest of the semester, luckily I have an amazing group which i am really happy with. That's all for tonight, I believe it's time for me to go to bed now.
