Monday was the worst! Okay so first off I couldn't watch the Grammys and I am an avid award show watcher and it really made me upset that I couldn't watch it here! Then I had to wake up early for class....but I do that every Monday and Wednesday so it's not that bad (oh, [sidenote] we played a game where the teacher split us in 2 groups and we had to pick a celebrity and my team chose Johnny Depp and we had to say what was in his suitcase in Italian words and who ever thought of more won, and our team won! of course, it was hilarious)
(it says: "Johnny Depp: a book, a pen, boots, a cellphone, a
hat, drugs, beer, red wine, caroline, a guitar, a dress, pajamas, Sydney,
Jenny, a jacket, a leather jacket, sandals, a scarf, laundry, a shirt, a mask, a
bed, a costume, and a t-shirt)
...then I found out about a Circus that is gonna be in Viterbo this weekend and I made plans to go, but the plans already fell through, so no Circus for me anymore. Then I paid off my lab fees so I'm feelin pretty poor right now. Then I went to get dinner with my roommate Sara. We went to this place that has pizza and some American food and I was really craving a breaded chicken sandwich and they are really good there cause Ive had them before there. So I order one and they ask if we want ketchup and mayo and last time it came on the side in packages so I just said yes cause I can bring the packets home for later. Well, this time they put it on the sandwich. Not okay. I HATE mayo. I was so upset. I scrapped off all the breading on the top and couldn't eat the top bun. My sandwich was ruined. Then I had my cinema class. I really dislike this class. I feel so dumb in it. It's really more of a history class and I really suck at history. Nothing seems to stick in my mind even if I find it to be interesting I can never seem to remember or grasp any of it. So we started another movie called Open City and it was made in the 40's and is black and white AND with subtitles and I can only handle one of those at a time! (yeah yeah i know, im picky!). So, all the people in this movie looks like same and sounds the same so I can't keep the characters apart so the story line doesn't make much sense to me. I couldn't grasp anything about it. I kept asking my roommates what was going on and they were like "Are you even watching the movie?!" and I think they thought I was really joking but i was completely serious! I don't understand the movie at all! It is boring and dumb. Then during the movie I kept trying to check my email and I couldn't get anything to load cause the internet sucks so bad here! It literally took me about an hour and 20 minutes to finally get it loaded and when it does get loaded I have an email with my grade to my homework in cinema over the last movie we watched (Novecento) and I got a C+. I was so upset. I made like 2 paragraph answers and she said I didn't put detail into my answers! My roommate got an A on hers. By this point I started to break down. I just started to quietly cry. Looking back at all the individual problems it seems dumb and silly, but at the time it was all comin at me at once and was overwhelming and crying was all I could do. Then I chowed down on Nutella to cover up my self pity! Then I went to bed thinking "tomorrow is Valentines Day...and I'm in one of the most romantic countries in the world...and I don't have a valentine." It was not helping my situation at all. haha oh wow, it was a rough day! (wow, i just re-read all of that and it really does sound dumb, but at the time it wasn't so hush!)
Today was better! It was good except for the fact that my cooking class got canceled tomorrow cause our teacher is sick, so no fresh pasta tomorrow night, AND my winery field trip for my wine class on thursday got canceled cause of the snow! UGH! That was really annoying to find out. BUT those were the only upsetting things today and I got over them fast. I didn't have any class today and went on a trip to a town called Montebello!
I'm not sure it can really be claimed as town though cause it is so tiny!! Only 50 people live there....yes, fifty, you read that right. We talked to an artist and saw some of his work. It was amazing and beautiful! He was working on this one painting for 2 years and still isn't dont with it. It is gorgeous! It is filled with people, both important to history and those that are not. It starts in the middle with the beginning of time and is more modern towards the edges. It is really cool!
Then he took us to a small museum with another artists work who died in 1988. It is gorgeous and the paintings were huge! I think the artists name was Cesetti if I remember correctly. I am so glad we got to go to this little town!
Then we came back and I went shopping with my roommates. After cooking dinner we had a major study session! We have our first quiz in our Italian language class in the morning so we all got together and made charts and flashcards and our roommate Sara is in the advanced class so she helped us with the stuff we didn't understand. We made games and songs out of it too. Then we took a study break and made another silly dance video. It was so fun! I decided I was gonna lip it even though I didn't know the song and I made a microphone out of a knife and a roll! It was hilarious! If ur friends with me on facebook I was tagged in it, so you can watch the embarassment! It was so worth it though! Now I am gettin ready for bed and will be sleeping with my study guide cause when I was little my mom told me that if you sleep on your notes you will remember the information. Thanks mom! Wish me luck! Oh! I almost forgot! Today this guy, Connor, her is like one of 5 boys here out of 30 of us and he bough all the girls chocolate and told us all individually "Happy Valentines Day!". He is such a sweetheart! He is just so nice! And he got my roommate Jenny a muffin cause he thought she was a vegan and didn't think she could have real chocolate! How nice is he?! Ugh, I melted a little. What a nice guy!
Until next time....Ciao!
(p.s. i have many more and better quality pics from Montebello that I will be putting on facebook later this week!)
