Considering my relationship history and the Valentine's I've had, you'll probably be surprised to hear this was probably one of my favorite Valentine's Days yet. Started the morning in Campo di Fiori... no we weren't starting the day out with a drink, we went over to Chigi's Villa with our Renaissance and Baroque class, which was really pretty and had some amazing ceiling art (my new obsession of course).
I went to the rest of my classes, which wasn't really exciting and then for dinner some of us girls had a cute dinner and headed to our friend Leigh's open mic night (I'll try to remember to add pictures to the post later). It was at this Irish Pub called Abbey Theater and it was really fun. She was sooo good also, she intimidated the Asian kid from John Cabot that was supposed to go next. There was a group of probably 10-15 of us so it was just a fun evening out with friends, and we took up most of the room so there was no room for couples to be all... couply around us.
Yesterday was a pretty bland day. We were pretty tired from being out late, so we just went to class and did our homework and slept. Oh, and Gabby and I did some remixes to songs like California Girls and Bottoms up... we'll be famous soon.
Today is the first rainy day since we've been here. I armed myself with my Hunters and a raincoat, but am still soaking wet beneath them. My on-site writing class didn't let it stop us for most of the morning, but definitely ended early because of the rain. We looked through a keyhole that was really cool because it was through a private garden and all you could see was the dome of St Peters and two rows of perfectly groomed plants made your eyes unconciously go straight to the dome. We also went into some amazing churches like the church of Santa Maria, which has gold mosaic on the ceiling and all sorts of beautiful paintings.
Well off to do some homework, yeah I'm here for school. Also, we need to find a place to eat lunch since the whole campus is outdoors. Non bene.
