Amo Londra
Click here for pictures from my lovely weekend in London.

I'll be home soon.

Sono Stanca
Let me begin by telling you that my study abroad program is not a joke. We don't do coloring books and "group trips".
My week has been as follows:
Sunday night: 2 hours of sleep
Monday: 10 pager due for Egypt. It was a critical analysis of the representation of Egyptian death rituals in The Mummy. Yes, one can write at least 10 pages on the subject.
5 hours of sleep
Tuesday: Used to write the Archaeology of Rome paper that was due Wednesday.
45 minutes of sleep
Wednesday: 10 pager for Arch of Rome. This gem was on Pompeii, it was a refutal of "The Pompeii Premise."
Wednesday night was spent writing the paper that was due Thursday
2 hours of sleep
Thursday: 10 pager due for Arts of Antiquity. It was a critical analysis and evaluation of the Nile Mosaic at Palestrina. I argued in favor of the mosaic as an image of exoticism.
Thursday night was spent writing the myth that was due on Friday.
Sadly, there was not enough time to write both the myth and Roman political paper.
3 hours of sleep
Friday: 10 page myth and analysis due for Mythology. Mine was an allegory for the oil crisis.
also due was a 10 page paper on the role that soft power played in the Roman Republic for Caesar, Cicero, and the Collapse of the Roman Republic. After missing the 3:30 pm deadline, I spent from 6:00pm to 12:30 am finishing.
I am now off to pack for my weekend in London during which I intend to do nothing but wander, sleep, and enjoy myself. Well, maybe study a little because...
in case 5 papers weren't enough, I still have the pleasure of 4 finals next week.
Grand.
However, after finals I am off to Amsterdam and Vienna!

Il Giorno del Tacchino (Pt. 2)
To keep it short and sweet, the recipe for a perfect Thanksgiving across the pond:
1 Nathaniel imported from Florence
1 Alison imported from Barcelona
1 Justine imported from DC
1 room filled with friends and guests
1 batch of Melanie's stuffing
1 mind blowing zucchini bread
2 huge tins of mashed potatoes
2 interesting plates of turkey
several bottles of 1,20 E wine from Todis
1 huge platter of 5-cheese macaroni and cheese
Combine gradually, mixing in conversation, travel stories, and a pinch of reminiscing.
Consume slowly and submit to the food coma that will ensue.
Follow with dancing in Testacchio the next night.
