Wings winning the cup, Pompeii for the weekend, Bloom, SCHOOL WORK!!!

Sorry I have not written in awhile, but classes have really been piling on the presentations and midterms!

Well last Monday after the military parade we all went out to this Pub called Scholars to watch the Wings play. It was alot of fun because of course the pub was full of Americans, and they played classic bar songs. (Come on Eileen, Journey, Sweet Caroline, etc.) A friend of ours payed the bar $250 to keep the bar open until the game was oer, needless to say we stayed until 6AM. Inside we were not really sure of the time, but when we left it was sunnyshine out and everything. Oh the things we will do to watch our team win the cup in Roma. Of course we all stayed in on Tuesday night . Wednesday night we headed back to scholars, only this time we got to watch the Wings WIN THE CUP .. in ROMA!!! It was really cool to see, except there was some pretty angry Pens Fans that harassed the whole night!

Thursday was pretty low key because we were all still tired from Wednesday and Monday. But Friday morning we left for Pompeii, an anceint ruin city. The first thing we did when we got there was CLIMB the VOLCANO, Mt.Vesuvius (for those of you who watch Greek, this is the REAL Mt.Vesuius). But of course the weather had to be crappy, and it rained the whole way up, of course though the second we got back to the bus the sun was breaking through the clouds. After that we headed to the hotel to relax and get ready for dinner in the hotel dinning hall. YUMM!!! is all I have to describe our dinners in the hotel! That night we all just made friends with the really old bartenders. In Italy when you start a job you have basically a contract for life, they dont believe in switching jobs. Both of the bartenders were really nice and named, Raphael. Saturday we headed for the ruins in the city of Pompeii. But of course once again it was pouring, and I mean pouring. So we all wore ponchos, and had umbrellas. Our tour guide was awesome, and really funny and knew how to get on our level with the humor. FINALLY THE SUN CAME THROUGH AND WE HAD SUNSHINE!!! We got to see the rest of the ruins in nice weather, then just walked around and had some pizza while we waited for the bus. That night after a delicious dinner some of us headed to the beach, others stayed with our new friends at the bar, and some headed to bed early. Sunday morning after breakfast we finally had nice weather and we all headed to the beach! There we were in the water, laying out, and playing football with our leader Tom. It was one of the best times so far. I lovveee being at the beach and getting tan. (DAD DONT YOU WORRY I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU AND I PUT ON MY SUNSCREEN, ON MY FACE AND SHOULDERS)

Monday was pretty tired, but we had a week full of homework, and presentations. Monday night though we did make it to the closing night for this club, Bloom. It was alot of fun, just 5 of us roommates went and danced the whole time. It was alot of fun, we know the promotions guys so we were pretty VIP haha and got to walk right in. It was a good night!

We have seminars all week, one on Life After MSU (about resumes, interiews, internships, public speaking), one on creatiity (havent had it yet), and one on the Advertising Industry (haent had it yet). Also I had my group presentation in my PR class. It went really well, and our Professor LOVED ours! We had to pretend we were a celebrity's PR team and what we would do about thier scandals. We chose Miley Cyrus (I thought of you Ollie, miss you and love you. Of course you too Chelsea!). Also I have a Fact Sheet on Greece due today for my international Adertising class, a midterm today in that class, anddd a midterm tomorrow in my PR class. But tomorrow, Friday, is my roommate Alyssa's Birthday so we are having another apartment over for dinner, and then all going out for the Colosseum Pub Crawl, because she is obsessed with the Colosseum.

Saturday morning we will board our bus for the TEN HOUR ride to NICE, FRANCE.

Till then ... when in Roma.
