"Normal" Life in Rome

So no karaoke last night. After my readings I was ready for bed and just went to sleep. I love my sleeping skills. I can fall asleep with lights on and people talking in the other room, I don't notice when my roomies come home or for the most part when they leave in the morning (but really it's a rarity that I'm not up in with the first wave for classes).

Today wasn't too thrilling. I found out that my Baroque class is going to Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, but my prof is super glad  I went already because apparently we only get an hour and part of that will be presentations. So I'm glad I get the chance to go back and we studied several of the works I saw yesterday in class today! yay!!! So I had Baroque, Conservation, and Renaissance for my short hour long classes today, tomorrow involves an onsite field study for baroque then my short forma urbis class.

This isn't very exciting but I'm slowly trying to catch up to Julie with HIMYM (How I Met Your Mother). I watched a few episodes today and got to the part where Barney and Robyn start getting together!!! American tv while in Italy, I'm ashamed! I chatted with Snoble a little bit today about her weekend in Ithaca and got a quick update on my friends/hockey bros. I did some grocery shopping. We're planning a trip to Florence for the weekend between Italian midterms and area study midterms so I can see Giotto's bell tower. WE ARE DISCUSSING GIOTTO IN EVERY CLASS!!! He's my favorite artist. In Renaissance we're going in depth with the Scrovegni Chapel and I'm super pumped because that is my Mecca while I'm here!! Hoping to go in the near future to Padova!! Ahhh Giotto, you're my man.

Pepperoni and Tom came over for a bit this evening, I'm going to go back to socializing after this post. Sorry not too exciting and no pictures. More tomorrow!
