R.I.P Wireless Internet

The wireless internet within our apartment officially died yesterday, and straight up does not work. So blog posts might be a bit sporadic until we get something figured out. Wednesday was a great day, most of all because both of my classes were canceled. My Tribes of Rome professor was in American, and my Art Gallery Management professor was in London. I got to sleep in until ten o'clock, and that was only because my roommates music woke me up :) It was very nice, I spent the day doing nothing in particular, I waited until my roommates were at school to get ready, and I took my time. As I was brushing my teeth, the doorbell rang, and I opened the door expecting one of my roommates had forgotten their key, wrong. It was maintenance, who were pretty tickled to see me brushing my teeth with a child sized space man toothbrush (be jealous). They were full on laughing after I attempted to say 'ciao' and slobbered toothpaste down my front. Whoops. The only thing on my agenda for Wednesday was a meeting with ISA (the company I'm here through) for our first trip. We're going to Florence (Firenze) next weekend. I am incredibly excited to see the Bellini's gates of paradise. Bellini spent forty years of his life constructing three sets of doors, and they are all on the Baptistry in Florence :D After my meeting I headed back home, (did I mention it was cold and rainy) and stopped by Pizza Boom for lunch. I got what turned out to be two fried balls of mashed potato (carb overload, but delicious) and I tried to order a fish sandwich, I was just pointing at things that looked good. Thankfully the woman behind the counter asked me if I was sure I wanted fish, I said no thank you. I'm glad the people at Pizza Boom look out for the students that eat there. I watched two movies online, The lovely bones, which I had started three times before, and Revolutionary Road. An hour or so later the internet wouldn't work. A few of my roommates have a theory that using the home computer kills the wifi, and Becca's computer is broken, so she uses the home computer quite often. Drama is brewing. We'll get something figured out. In the meantime the computer lab at school suits me just fine until it's nice enough to use the wifi outside. Because I had no internet to distract me I was incredibly productive last night. I read for class, uploaded my opera cd into Itunes, and listened to each song in order to properly name them. (I think I'm really going to enjoy this class) I also caught up on journals for my Art Gallery Management class. I waited until Becca went to be to talk to Stu online, and ended up being awake until two thirtyish, luckily I my only Thursday class is at three forty. Today is cold again, but Becca and I are planning on adventuring tonight, and possibly catching a movie. Two of my other roommates leave for Venice tonight to experience Carnivale, which is apparently Italian Mardi Gras, not Halloween. Ciao for now.
