So tonight after dinner we spent about 2 hours trying to figure out hotels and/or hostels for this weekends trip to Cinque Terre, and I am at the point where I just don't care. Im tired, I have a ton of reading to do, and its turning out to be more difficult than I thought. In addition, everyone thinks I know everything since I have been here before, but I don't. I may have a better idea than they do, but I am not God and last time I think it was Katie who found the hostel anyway. Sigh. What I really almost want to do is sign up for the Florence for Fun program where they have a bus, and for 40 euro, they take you there and back. My only concern is the timeline and if we have to be with the group for the hike. In any case, that is looking better and better as the night goes on.
As for class, today we talked about use of force, and it was very interesting. For our academic fact of the day, I learned that the word "war" is never used in the UN Charter. Who knew?
After class and lunch, we went to the Ufizzi Gallery. I have been there before, and while it is a great museum, I have to be honest, I am not a fan of seeing "Madonna with Child" or "Christ on the Cross" over and over and over, and I feel like that is all we really saw. We did go to see the Botticelli art, but there were only two of his: "Birth of Venus" and "Primavera." They were wonderful, but I'm not sure they made up for all of the Jesus I saw. In any case, we were there a couple of hours and then we got some gelato, came home, and had dinner. After dinner was our ill fated planning session, though I have now just been told that we are booking a hotel. Whoop de doo. I will be happier as it gets closer, I'm sure, I'm just fed up with it all right now.
So that was my day, a nice wake up call from mom, class that ran over as usual (though it was super interesting), lunch, ufizzi gallery, gelato, dinner, (failed) planning, reading, bed. Nothing too exciting. Thats it for now, so ciao!
