Chocolate on my Mind

I have a six page paper due later this week in philosophy so I spent most of my day in the library doing it.  My paper is on Thomas Aquinas and his analysis of free will.  I argue for and against free will using the argument of determinism which goes against free will.  I made a schedule for the weekend and I plan on doing quite of bit of studying because next Monday through Thursday I have midterms.  The way my classes are structured is 50% midterm and 50% final.  So after my midterm week I will not have any other grades until the final in December.  I am really excited for this Saturday because I am going to go to the Perguia chocolate festival.  EuroChocolate is an annual chocolate festival that takes place in Perugia, the capital of the Umbria region in central Italy. The festival has been held since 1993 and is the largest chocolate festivals in Europe. EuroChocolate draws nearly one million tourists and Italian natives each year.  Italy's most well-known chocolate company Perugina (now belonging to Nestlé), known for their Baci, is represented along with a number of other brands such as Lindt and Caffarel. EuroChocolate offers many snack and souvenir options such as chocolate covered bananas, chocolate liqueur, chocolate molds, and chocolate bricks.  EuroChocolate offers a variety of activities including chocolate art displays, experimental chocolate tastings, street performances, and chocolate sculpting. In recent years, an igloo has been constructed out of 3,600 kilograms of chocolate bricks. There is even an opportunity to make a chocolate day spa appointment. In 2003, the largest chocolate bar in the world was constructed. It measured to be more than 7 meters in length, two meters high and made with 5980 kilograms of dark chocolate and thousands of hazelnuts.  I love chocolate so I am really excited to go and see and taste!  I have watched a couple of youtube videos on it which has gotten me really excited.  For lunch I had a delicious meatball sandwich from a deli across from campus.  Tomorrow night I am meeting up with two girls who are in Theta with me who are also studying in Rome but in a different program.  We are going to meet for dinner so it will be nice to see them!
