Today was a blah day. Very, very blah.
As with all Tuesdays, I had an on sight class this morning. We met at Largo Argentina, and hiked around taking notes and whatnot. No big deal, right? Wrong. It was raining off and on the whole class. It is damn near impossible to take notes, carry an umbrella, and walk at the same time. The teacher did not seem to realize exactly what she was asking us to do, and it was a pain. Everyone was clearly struggling, but Mrs. Oblivious kept yapping. Then she would say something comforting like "oh, what a struggle it is to teach in this kind of weather", as if talking in the rain is a pain in the ass while everyone else is trying to write down what is being said. Harumph.
It cleared up and got really humid. I came back to the apartment (this being no small feat; it was an hour walk home), cooked up some veggies for pranzo, the Italian big meal of the day around 2PM which nobody in our crew really does (hey, I just realized I use Italics for Italian... appropriate, I guess?). Then I napped. First or second serious nap of the trip. I feel more pressed for time in general here than at ND. I guess travelling on weekends will do that, but still. It's not like on football Saturdays in the States I would do any work, and not all that much on Sundays, either. I think it's being in all these silly humanities classes that believe papers are cool and decide to assign 30 of them, all having the exact same due date. Harumph. I hate when work is hanging over my head. I love Econ because it is based solely off tests (except the econ here: 8-12 page paper, with 2 more papers as well! I love JCU!). You go, you take it, and you're done. No guilt/worries about stuff to be done. Well, I guess the point is ARG ME NO LIKEY PAPERS. Maybe I shouldn't go to law school.
This evening was class (5-8), followed by cheese and crackers with nutella and peanut butter. Nothing like a totally unhealthy way to end the day. I feel like I deserved it, despite the fact that I got no work done and I took a nap.
Oh, and I'm going to an AS Roma game tomorrow! Not only that, but it is a Champions League game! Not only that, but my tickets were 15 euro! Not only that, but the tickets say row 5! Color me excited.
