Oh what a night

Lots of fun was had tonight. After lounging around, we decided to go to John Cabot University (from here on "JCU") to check out the location/get some free pizza. I led the way, and now it seems that just about everybody knows me (not that I know them... hopefully within the month I'll have it). Well, the pizza was terrible. Despite that, and despite the fact that I didn't feel hungry (I should have), I downed a piece of pizza and a sandwich quickly. They did not have enough drinks. What a failure of preparation. Liquids are necessary right now. We left quickly.

A couple of highlights of stuff up til this point include all the happy little Catholic children seeing the Vatican for the first time. I think the whole "we're going to be living here for four months... this is awesome" thing hit a lot of people then. St. Pete's is amazing at night. Highlight #2: gelato. Oh how I've missed thee. Oh, how badly I've missed thee. Dan said he knew a place just outside the Vatican that was cheap and delicious. This flies in the face of my ideal place, which should not be near a major monument (high rents=high prices/low quality, right?). Plus, I have heard more than once not to get gelato outside the Vatican. I was dubious. Well, I was completely wrong. I got the smallest (2 euro) cup of gelato. It was massive, and the rich and creamy goodness made my day. Plus, we headed back into St. Pete's (we=Dan & I, another guy, and like 15 of the girls... sadly, I do not know the names of any of the other people. Somehow, nobody picked up on this) and sat for about half an hour admiring the square. Very enjoyable.

I come back to a house of kids playing drinking games. They got in a bit of trouble earlier carrying wine bottles into JCU, but how were they to know it was a dry campus? I think nothing will come of it, because nothing should.
