Chocolate, Chocolate Everywhere

I would like to say that my lack of blogging this week has been due to some epic adventure. Alas, it was actually a term paper that kept me away. The good news is the paper is finished. So now I can blog. Woohoo!!

Lets see..... my slavery class was cancelled all week. So that was nice. I got some time to sleep in and clean up around the apartment. I was also able to get my research for my term paper done and still have energy to cook at night for myself. Don't judge. Researching can be exhausting, especially when it happens after almost six hours of class. Woe is the life of a student.

Other exciting news. Erica and I had an impromptu cannoli date. I was working on my paper at home like a good little student when my phone rang. It was Erica (but I am sure that you had gathered that). She told me to go to the fresh filled cannoli place STAT. The store is amazing. You get to pick your cannoli shell and then they ask you what you want it filled with (ricotta, chocolate, or pistachio cream). You even get to pick what you want the ends rolled in (candies, fruits, chocolate, or pistachio). I went traditional (ricotta and choc. chips) and Erica had chocolate cream with pistachio crumbles. Best. Study break. EVER! Bah. I love Italy.

Today I went to the end of the semester JCU art exhibit. Both Kelsey and Erica had works that were being displayed, so I wanted to go to support them. It was really cool. There are some very talented students.

Post the show we went out to dinner at a cute little pizza place. The pizza was meh, but the bruschetta was to die for. Seriously. Whoever thought of the pear and gorgonzola taste sensation should have a monument erected in their honor.

Then to finish off our evening we went to the chocolate fair that is happening this week. Be jealous, Steph. There were chocolate sculptures (shoes, elephants, people...), chocolate covered strawberries, hot cocoa, truffles, the works. So tasty. However, we did restrain ourself to just hot cocoa. Which is rich enough to be a meal in and of itself.

This weekend I am off to Prague with the roomies. It will be a lot of fun. It is our last traveling hurrah, and the first one as roomies since Tuscany. We are all very excited. We were preparing to wake up at 4am to catch our 7am flight when we got a call saying that our flight had been cancelled. The next flight was 7 hours later. So there goes almost a full day in Prague. Boo hiss. On the bright side, there was another flight and we were all able to get on it. Plus, now we get a full nights sleep.

On that note, I am off to bed. Have fantastic weekends with adventures of your own!
