Update.

Today has been lovely. It was sunny and 80ish. I woke up around 10:30 and started one of my two history papers that I plan on finishing before Monday. I checked on the baby birds on the porch and watched Lulu (mother bird) feed them for a few minutes. They are yellow and awkward and have yet to open their eyes, but I adore them nonetheless. My porch has turned into a tree house now that the leaves are out and the branches that reach over towards our kitchen on the 3rd floor are green and full. Birds nest included. I need a hammock.

Caitlin, Jules and I went to the music festival in Piazza San Giovanni. It was really cool to look at but not as fun to attend if you weren't Italian. I couldn't understand any of the music and I was a little nervous about all the inebriated people, but it was fun to jump around and dance and listen to music on such a lovely day. We left after about an hour and spent the rest of the day relaxing at home. I am more than 3/4 of the way done with my paper. I'll finish it tomorrow.

I made a super spicy dinner. So spicy that I couldn't finish it. Caitlin and I watched "Can't Hardly Wait" and reminisced about high school. Now I am tired and ready for sleep and hopefully better dreams than last night.

A small update. More later concerning the Romans and their ways.
