"They're beautiful"

That's just the last thing said to me at this point by one of five Italian men walking past Julie and me, in our sweats and on the computers outside on some steps. Anyhow, the rude girl struck again today. I need to let it slide by me, but I just find it so unbelievable that she has the nerve to say that. But the day got better as my another friend Becky and I went again to our favorite pizza place for lunch, then had a nice talk with an old lady at the tabaccio shop about how pretty Italy is, and then loads of classes. I also had time in my monstrously long break between classes to watch The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy; it was a very strange movie. Julie and I attempted to make chicken and rice tonight. The chicken was delicious, but the rice we got tired of waiting for it to finish so we threw it out... For dessert we had some Vienetta, but the placement of the plate on the stove with me cutting the ice cream dessert was all wrong, and the plate landed up smashing all over the kitchen floor, missing my bare feet by centimeters. Stretching party take 2 is also tonight, maybe followed by some more of Dante. I'm so close to finishing it! So far I've traveled to Hell, Limbo and now its on to something different until I decide to get back in the saddle and read Paradiso.
