Day Sixteen


Friday Jan. 22nd 2010

Today was a very productive day- and I even got to sleep in (no classes today!). Perhaps the best experience today was getting a haircut. The Italian man who did my haircut was very good- he seemed like a perfectionist. We was using all types of scissors, a straight-edge around the neck, trimmers and clippers, and he washed my hair and styled it like an Italian! All for only 13 euros! It took about an hour to do.. but it was well worth it. The best part was he didn’t speak a word of English. Haha. Our conversation pretty much just consisted of me saying “Due on the sides.”

I officially joined the gym “SWAN” which is about 7-8 minutes from my apartment. I went there today with Bryce (who joined as well) and we worked out for about two hours. I couldn’t figure out how to work the treadmill haha! Later on I went out to dinner for a school program that I signed up for. It was at a very fancy restaurant (I forget the name of it) just down the road from Via Dei Cerchi. We had two types of pasta, zucchini flower and fries, chicken, and chocolate icecream. The four course meal was delicious- but we all thought it wasn’t enough food. Im fine with that though, it was free!

Tonight I stayed in and spent most of the night at the school planning out future trips and updating my blog. I decided to book airline tickets to Paris for next weekend! I’m going with Bryce and Colin and some ID girls. Words cannot even express how excited I am for this trip. I want to go to Paris perhaps just as much as I want to go to Rome. I am SO excited to go to the Louvre and see the Mona Lisa!!
