It's Wednesday, and I now have one more day of class until the weekend! It's nice having four day school weeks, even though Friday is usually booked with something or other every time.
I still have a cold and it sucks! I don't know why I am always sick here, but it's getting to be a pain. Class has been pretty tedious, learning about art and Italian language, the usual. Yesterday, Melissa and I went down to the "beach" of Rome (the Tiber river, as close as you can get to a beach) and relaxed while eating gelato. Chocolate, ofcourse.
Afterwards, we met up with Elaine and had dinner, where Melissa and I got pizza and Elaine ordered some sort of chicken dish. It looked good, and the pizza was incredible! We also had a glass of wine, which is something out of the ordinary for me! I really don't care for red wine, but I can drink white. Afterwards, we went to a place called Scholars where we hung out, kind of an Irish pub. It was a lot of fun, and we all had a good time.
Yesterday, I indulged and bought a few dresses at my new favorite store, Zara. It's very popular in Europe, however I don't know of any existing in the states. I got a creme colored dress as well as a blue one that you can see me wearing below. I like their clothes- they're very fashionable, but also very modest.
My feet are killing me from all of this walking! I am definitely going to rest tonight and relax, and get ready for my Naples trip on Friday.
That's all for now folks!

New dress!
What to order, what to order...
A challenge!
But easily defeatable.
She agrees.
Today in class, we visited Michelangelo's statue of Moses, a carving he did for Pope Julius the Second's Tomb. That's the same pope who ordered Michelangelo to paint the Sistene Chapel to which Michelangelo stated, "I am a sculptor, not a painter!" He was a broody guy.
Bel vestito! E la pizza sembra impressionante!
