A short little Snapshot of what its like to be Me in the Middle of a week in florence

Midterms, midterms midterms. So far, so good... Two down, three to go. I was angry thinking I would have to take three tommorrow then I realized I took the Italian one Monday. I still have to go to class though. Oh well. Everyone around me is frantically writing papers. I feel guilty. I AM writing a paper but these people are doing research and in-depth analyses of intellectual, important subjects. I'm analysing my birth chart. Which takes more thought than you would think, there's a lot of connecting and angles involved but its not as, real, I guess would be the closest word, as what others are doing. I felt kinda Harry Potterish while writing this paper and thinking of what angle Saturn makes with the moon or what house Mars is in. I love feeling Harry Potterish.

So on my way to the computer lab I was kissed on the cheek by a mime. Oh, life in Florence. He wanted some money (of course) but my pockets were empty so he slapped me on the cheek. How rude. I did not make eye contact with this mime, I swear, I am very good at avoiding the street performers. Stupid mime.

Countdown to Ireland: 2 days. wednesday and thursday. Boo ya! But that means I have to do laundry (my sock supply is running low. as in nonexistant) and I'll have to pack and print out my boarding pass and etc and etc and etc. But still. IRELAND.

Ethnic Tuesday tonight equals Indian food! My experiences with this food genre have been pretty small so I am really excited. Be prepared for another "it was soooo good!" blog tomorrow. Actually. Maybe not what with classes all day. Though I do still have to do the boarding pass thing (no yelling at me for not doing it now- I don't have my passport and the site wants the number) so a blog is a maybe.

On to more interesting stuff. Umm... nothing interesting has happened since Verona! Unless you count sitting around the table "doing homework" or the fury of my roommates when the internet went down. I had a bagel with PB&J for lunch today. Too much J and not enough PB. I took my mythology exam. I had lentils for dinner last night with carrots, celery, basil (?), onion and olive oil. It was rather sweet (sweet as in the flavor not sweet as in awesome. it was sweet as in awesome too but that wasnt what i was refering to). For lunch I had a mozzerella and olive omelet that turned out rather well, if I do say so myself.

The weather has been GREAT the past few days. Lovely, sunny skies, still chilly but not cold and sometimes warm(ish). Perfect soccer weather *sigh*. I just have to content myself with a walk. I sometimes take the long way to class just to extend my outside time. I really hope it holds out and goes with me to IRELAND. Cross your fingers. I leave for Ireland in two days, did I mention that? Whoo HOO!
