Today was a relatively short day here in Rome. We started off the day by presenting our Powerpoint presentations to the class. That only took an hour and we started at 2:30. We then took a break and went and got food and drinks for the weekly social event that we have with the whole group on Wednesdays. We came back to studio and Lauren Golden gave her lecture about Palimpsest Rome. It is sometimes difficult to stay awake during her two hour lectures, but her enthusiasm for the subject keeps me awake.
After the lecture, we retired to the studio terrace where we proceeded to eat snacks and drink wine. We had two guests tonight who were Lauren's friends. It was so much fun sitting on the terrace with the whole class talking. As the night progressed, my other professor Michael Martin broke out his guitar and tambourine and began to sing. Of course, he started taking requests and before long, the whole class had joined in singing. I was asked to sing, so to change the pace of everything I sang some country. Aaron wanted to hear Garth Brook's "Friends In Low Places", so that is what I sang. I'm almost certain that our neighbors were going to kill us all, but it was worth it. We kept singing, and before we knew it the time was 11:00! We decided we needed to get some sleep, so our professor Michael moved our assignment due date back a day because we had spent so much time singing! We made our way back to the tram stop and then back to the apartment. I'm exhausted, so until tomorrow, ciao!
