we had our midterm yesterday (thursday, 24th). im pretty confident that i did well! not only do i stay awake in the 2 1/2 hours of class, but the material we are covering in class is really interesting! we are learning the history of the time periods between the late roman empire and the early renaissance! we also have some papers due in the near future. one paper im writing on the BLack Plague, and the other on a church that we took a class field trip too. The weekends have slowed down. more studying and site seeing, less party time. we get all excited wen we go new places, but its nice when things start to settle down. for my next break in early november, im traveling to Barcelona and Madrid! i have a friend from hawaii who will be there during that time, so ill get to meet up with him, his name is cory as well, and we can see the world!
on sunday im going to the vatican ealry in the morning. every last sunday of the month, its free admission and the pope comes out and walks around! then im going to a soccer game! the feature match of the year between the two rome rivals: lazio vs. Roma.
its like the civil war when these two teams play. very serious buisness here...
i bought my ticket today, and they came with brass knuckles ;) kidding.
anyways, all is good. ill give you an update soon (if im still alive after the soccer game)!
feel free to comment on the posts, love to hear from you!
