So, it's 4 in the morning, and I can't sleep (maybe this isn't so bad. 4 of my roommates are still out in Rome partying it up somewhere). We have to be out of here at 9:45, so there is still some hope to get a few hours. Why can I not sleep?
To begin, it is approximately a hundred milliondy degrees in my room. Centigrade.
Next, I realized at about 12 at night that they switched a class of mine, leaving me with a conflict. Did they tell me? Of course not, and why should they bother to do a silly little thing like that? So I spent two hours freaking out trying to find another class that fits into my perfect three day schedule (I may have found two. I emailed a bunch of people at ND for approvals. They're obviously lame sleepy-poos who are not checking their emails at night. Can't a kid get a damn favor around here?). So that stressed me out.
I'm also stressed about my visa. I don't know if I mentioned this yet, but yesterday a guy told me I may not exactly be able to leave/ get back into Italy if I travel beyond the expiration date of my visa. Well, despite asking for a 140 day visa, I got a 115. The study abroad woman who works with the Rome program shrugged it off as no biggie, and said I should have no problems. Well, sounds like I may have problems: my visa expires Dec. 30, and I want to come back Jan. 8. My hope is that maybe if I leave Italy before Dec. 30, come back in later, I have gone from resident to tourist, and it's all good. But, I'm wondering if, technically, in order to get back as a tourist, one needs to touch back in the motherland, in which case I'm up a creek lacking a paddle.
And then there's the France trip to see the Lion King. I booked my hostel today. It's really a steal, from all I can gather (well located, breakfast, etc for 24 euro). I'm waiting on the plane tickets (they went up like 20 euros in a day... I'm going to see if they go back down 20 euro). So actually, minimal stress from that angle. But, otherwise, yeah. I'm dying here. Did I mention it's hot?

From what I've read the airplane tix only go up as you get closer to the travel date in Europe for the bargain airlines. Might want to lock in now.
