Happy Valentines Day

It's been a quiet day here in roma, kinda. I woke up at four o'clock this morning as a few of my roommates got home from the bar and skyped their families. Consequently I shut off my alarm and slept in until ten :) Becca and I started off our mornings with breakfast and a trip to the open air market. So as not to tempt myself with the affordably priced goods I brought only two euros. It's a good thing I did, you can literally get Italian leather boots for ten euros, it's pretty amazing.
Becca needed an overnight bag for our weekend trips, and successfully haggled a knock off gucci bad from twenty eight euros to fifteen. I was very impressed. After our walk through the market I retired to homework, because I didn't do any last night. Suprise, suprise. It took me awhile to complete my homework today as I spent a good chunk of it talking to people from home, including my brother and my sister :) pretty sweet. I also got a quick, much needed, phone call from Stu. We haven't talked for almost three days, which is probably the longest we've ever gone, and I was beginning to get a little stir crazy. Becca and I made a pre frozen pasta dish for supper, which amuses our roommate, Emily, no end as she worked in an italian restaraunt before she came here, and is an excellent cook. On one of my many study breaks I perused pictures from my roommates trip to venice, and I have decided that it was probably a good thing I didn't go during Carnivale, I don't think I could have handled all the people in the creepy emotionless masks. Gives me chills just thinking about the pictures, I've seen too many science fiction television shows for that to be ok. On another one of my plentiful breaks I checked out this link that my great cousin Derek posted on my facebook, very interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-x9ygQEGA I don't know if any of you have seen Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart music video, but it is weird, even by my standards. As the night runs about an hour and a half past when I had intended to be in bed, my homework is done, and I am talking to my sister on msn, as my roommates sing the 'opera' part of bohemian rhapsody, which they have just discovered and think is endlessly amusing. Too funny. I can only hope everyone at home has as good of a Valentines Day as me.
