So do you like go out and walk on the grass?

Oh dear lord. There is a girl in two of my classes who I talked to once on the tram, and she now finds me in class and talks to me. Which is fine, but she's the type that needs to always be talking, she doesn't like a pause in a conversation. Or to not talk at all. I on the other hand could go a whole class period without having conversations with anyone. So Rosemary in one of the pauses of our conversation asks me where I'm from (for at least the third time) When she discovered I was from Iowa she proceeded to ask me some stellar questions.
For example:
"So do you have like grass and stuff?"
Morgan: "yes...we've got ten acres"
Rosemary: "so do you like go out and walk on the grass?"
Morgan: "........yes...?" (I'm getting confused at this point, like where is she from?)
Rosemary: "oh I'm from long island so we have like no grass."
Morgan: "mmm"
awkward pause.
Rosemary:"So do you have like a tractor?" (Said in the most cutesy condescending way ever)
Morgan: "Yes"
Rosemary:"Ohmigod, that is so funny, that is just so funny"
Morgan:"....." (clearly not amused look on my face)
I was not having her fascination with my small town life, and didn't feel bad showing it, she stopped asking me questions and proceeded to tell me that she and her boyfriend were getting each other snapfish photo albums for their birthdays, this was another conversation we had had at least twice. I was pretty happy when class was over, despite the class being really interesting. It was an onsite in testaccio the neighborhood across the river from mine. We walked all over, and visited the neighborhood square and market, which I already knew my way around.
I went back to my apartment for lunch, a chat with Stu, a nap and a shower. This has become my routine for the afternoons. Art Gallery Management went well, and once class was done I stopped by the grocery store to stock up before Kelsey Baye and Becca I joined me for a few days. I bought expensive honey flavored cereal and a frozen pasta dish as well as bread and jam. Tonight was also opera night. The second and final opera attendance for my class; we saw Tosca. These seats were over twice as expensive and they were well worth the money. It was an incredible show. Better sets, seats, and it was shorter, we didn't even have to take a night bus home. The even better news was that our opera paper wasn't due until the following Wednesday. I was expecting it to be due on Friday, and as I had guests coming my plan was to stay up and crank it out, and just get a few hours of sleep so I wouldn't have to worry about it while entertaining guests. This turned out to be a huge blessing as I'm currently still catching up on sleep.
