Week of Hell to a Weekend of Heaven.

The week after Como was the worst week ever. It was good because it was short. Only 4 days. But we had our first Humanities reading test. Which I was dreading more that the SAT. Not really. I just hate to study really long periods of time for a test. And i studied A LOT for this one. It was 10 questions on the 4 chapters we had read so far. That doesn't sound that bad right. WRONGO! If you knew Leonardo, our Hum212 teacher, you would have so much pity on me right now. He is the kind of teacher who really wants to trick you. Its just awful. I mean you have 57 students all freaking out on Wednesday night trying to read and make 11 page study guides and drink more soda and espresso than should be legally allowed. It was harder than I thought it was going to be. But we all made it through! And I passed! But it was a rough week. I'm glad it is over. And then it is the weekend! And the weekend was great! On Friday we relaxed all day. I woke at 10:07am to the fire alarm going off. Which was not very nice, especially since it was a false alarm. At least I didn't have to go outside. So I got up and took a shower. Then Anna, Madi and myself all went to the grocery store and bought food. Mostly junk food. They have the BEST chocolate muffins at the supermercato! So I ate muffins and coke that morning. Oh and peaches. I love it. And all day we watched movies. We watched Roman Holiday, Sabrina and then finished it off with The Holiday! It was the best movie day ever! Then for dinner we had Spera. Which is a super yummy pizza place! I ate a whole pizza. All by myself. After I had snacked all day. I feel like such a fatty when I eat in Florence. But for my gym class I'm in I have to go to the gym 22 times this semester. And we are walking everywhere. So I'm getting my exercise. The next day we went to Assisi! Which is absolutely beautiful! The word beautiful doesn't even really do it justice. Its breathtaking. The church that is there, Saint Francis of Assisi, is ginormous and just wonderful. I just adore Roman architecture and the frescos are amazing! The colors that are used are so vivid. It was a perfect day trip. Sunday was another crazy day in the life of Kate Ham. I got up and went to the gym. On my way to the gym I thought I would have a pastry at Cafe Lib. So I ate breakfast and went to the gym. Halfway through my workout I had an allergic reaction. The gym is a 20 minute walk from the Villa and I didn't have any benedryl. So I got back to the house. I'm crying on the phone with Pam trying to figure out what to do. My throat was tight and I my tongue was tingly and wasn't sure what to do. So i get back to the villa take 2 bendryl and pass out for FOUR hours. Then I did some homework and fell asleep for another 8 hours. I woke up and it was Monday.
