Happy Presidents Day

To all my American readers (everyone) Happy Presidents Day. I didn't even know it was presidents day until my sister wished me a pleasant one. Really I'm just taking advantage of not having to come up with a creative title for the entry. Overall Monday has been really great, for a day that most people dread. It started out with a trip to testaccio, one neighborhood over from trastevere. I was essentially people watching for an assignment for my Tribes of Rome class. It was a wonderful way to start my morning, in the crisp Rome air. The middle part of the day was spent in class, Opera and then Art Gallery Management, with the most wonderful surprise between them. I received my eurail pass in the mail today !!! :D It's the best news I've had all week (all two days) After class it was rainy again, so becca emily and I took the bus home, after we made a quick stop at the grocery store. I did nearly all of my homework for the week this weekend, so I spent the evening talking to people from home, mother, johnathon, kelsey, stu, fleer. I honestly think I stay in better contact with everyone now that I'm away, it's something that I quite enjoy. While I was at school we had a new wirless router installed, which consequently prevented my laptop from being able to access the internet. I eventually fixed the problem (all by myself) after an hour of frustration. I really hope that this quality stays, only time will tell. Tomorrow I have my first onsite class, and my apartment is having a bit of a dinner party, barbeque chicken :) I can't wait.
