Let the Weekend Begin!

Midterms are over!  My week went so fast having a midterm each day and having friends in town I can’t believe its already Thursday.  Needless to say I did not get very much sleep so I just took a two-hour power nap.  Ryan and Rob fit right into Roman life and started knowing there way around just as well as I did by the end.  On Monday night they have a friend who lives here in Rome so they went and visited him while I stayed in a studying.  On Tuesday night we went out to a really good restaurant called Tony’s and had some good long conversations.  They are both really smart so its fun getting into deep conversations.  On Wednesday night all my roommates and the boys went out together to dinner and to campo afterwards.  It was a really fun night and I woke up early to study for my midterm the next day.  Tomorrow I am going to Bracciano.  The town is famous for its volcanic lake and for a particularly well-preserved medieval castle. The lake is widely used for sailing and is popular with tourists; the castle has hosted a number of events, especially weddings of actors and singers.  I will only be going for the day and I leave for Venice early Saturday morning!
