So yeah, that Art History test was tough. I could go into detail in how Mrs. Duckworth lowered her standing in the minds of everyone even further, but let’s just say she managed to take on a new low (she calls herself the Test Nazi, if that’s any indication).
I survived though, and in less than an hour I’ll be headed to the train station to go to southern Italy. I’ve got a bunch of homework to do this weekend though, lots of reading, but I won’t let it ruin my weekend. I’ll get it done somehow.
So here’s the crew, from left to right: me, Jessica, Chelsea, Angela, Paulo, Salita, and Brooke
Quote of the Day: “I’m not angry, I’m just very, very irritated you see.” — Professor Alistair Duckworth, on four people being absent today from his Grand Tour class.
So here’s the story. I’ve uploaded about 2 rolls of film, all of my pics from Paris. To view them, go to my homepage and click on the Photos link. I’ll be putting the rest up over the next couple of day.
As we speak I am uploading the first batch of photos onto my website. So check back periodically throughout the day and hopefully you’ll see something pretty.
On a sad note, Paulo moved out of my room yesterday. This was something that the program had wanted to do from the very beginning but there just wasn’t a room available. After all, he is 40 years old living with three guys who are 20, 20, and 21. But it was weird the way it happened because none of us were around when he moved his stuff out. We came back throughout the day to find that his stuff was all gone. We checked the safe and even his passport was gone. So we thought he had gone back to the States, like maybe something had happened to one of his daughters or something like that. Thankfully that wasn’t the case, but I am sad that he’s not my roommate anymore.
Now it’s just me and the frat boys.

1) While riding a gondola our gondolier was singing a traditional Italian song. Then he broke into the chorus of Like A Virgin.
Quote of the Day: “It sounds like fun. I get to go to Quito and the Galapagos. And get high on whatever made Darwin think up evolution.” — My sister Alison, talking about her possible summer 2005 trip to Ecuador. She has officially been elevated to coolest person of the day.
So Venice… incredible. Beautiful. I’m speechless. But what would a blog be without a speech?
