Today is All Saints Day, and seeing as I am living in Catholic country I have the day off of school. It is a glorious day when you don't have to set an alarm. Rome is supposed to be deserted and pretty much everything is shut down. So I shall use the day to research my slavery presentation. You may think to yourself "self, didn't she just turn in a paper for that class?" Yes, yes I did. That does not stop my prof though. I have a twenty minute presentation on sex trafficking in India with a girl from my class on November 21. I wish I could do my presentation on my paper, things that would have been more logical, but my prof wanted us to pick all new topics. Its a good thing I am like researching because it seems like that is all I am doing lately.
In other news, Rome has been invaded by birds. They flock to the Tiber and apparently stay for about a month. In an effort to make them go away they pipe the sounds of their predators (Eagles) into the air. Valiant effort, but it really does not work. Instead they just frighten the people and disrupt my classes (I can hear the noises from the Tiber campus, not the Guarini campus).
Erica has also earned her place in the roommate hall of fame. She made pumpkin pie in honor of Halloween. It was so good. I sort of came home in the middle of her baking it (class had been cancelled) and she yelled at me and told be to stay out of the kitchen. Fearing for my life, I did as I was told. Man, it was worth it. She even had made whipped cream for the top it. How, I don't know. But it was delicious!
Countdown: less than 48 hours until the parental arrive
