This morning I turned in my paper on the Amanda Knox case. Its probably one of the worst papers I've ever written but I'm hoping the professor's english is bad enough that she won't notice. The poor quality of the paper is not my fault though, I promise. Having us write a paper on this case was a terrible idea. Every source is biased or incomplete and the facts themselves are unreliable because of the way the case and evidence were treated in Italy by investigators, the prosecution and defense, the media especially and the Italian justice system. Not that I'm commenting on the effectiveness of the Italian justice system; I don't know a thing about it. I'm commenting specifically on this case. Not that I don't think she's guilty or at least involved but an attempt to write a psychological paper on her involvement with the limited facts available was a ridiculous task. And thats my rant for the week.

Other than turning in my paper and going to class I really haven't done much today. Or yesterday for that matter. Wednesdays are my long days and I'm in class from 10:30 until 5:30. Then I had to go to the library to finish and print out my Knox paper. Eh. It wasn't too bad. Having a falafel kebab for lunch always makes everything better. So does watching the latest episode of Lost before bed. Especially when Lost starts to answer questions, or at least give vague hints that could be answers if you squinted and looked at them sideways. Oh, and the fact that I'm going to classes in FLORENCE, ITALY doesn't hurt either.

I had decided to make it my mission to buy postcards today but it looks like that isn't going to happen. Eventually, I promise I’ll get some and get them sent out. Tonight, after Ifigure out what to have and make dinner I'll be packing for Rome! Hopefully this trip goes like the second day of Venice and not the first!
