Sorry it's been a while since I've blogged, but it's been extremely eventful none the less. So here's the rundown day by day.
Sunday Night: We almost caught our apartment on fire. We literally had a 3 foot flame coming off the Cheap Wine Chicken pan. That burner still makes sparks so we are trying to avoid it.
Monday Night: Caitlin's Birthday cake was a sloppy tower of Nutella, sponge cake, and gelato, but it tasted okay. I sang Don't Stop Believin' and If You Wanna Be My Lover at karaoke. We got back to our apartment fine, but our toilet was making the awful drilling noise that it always does. Ever thoughtful, Gibbs unplugged the toilet so we could talk. What we found out was that unplugging the toilet makes the toilet and bidet overflow so I walked into 1/4 inch of water in our bedroom. 4 umbrella holders, 2 pots, 2 mops buckets, and 5 towels later our floor was dry-ish. However, after many days laying out and time with a blow dryer, my book for class is still soaking wet.
Tuesday Night: We made inside out burgers (AHH-MAZE-INN) and our neighbors made faces as our washing machine simulated an earthquake.
Wednesday: Our train to Assisi was cancelled because of a four hour train strike, only in Umbria. So, we had to take the bus and we talked to Italian teenagers whose dreams were crushed when we told them the college is nothing like the American Pie movies. It rained all day, and we had to study for our Italian exam. Also, Samantha fell off her chair.
Thursday: (Today) We took our Italian test which I think I did okay on. Then we have our Renaissance class and Gibbs and I are leaving for Germany. Hopefully we will make all the trains, but truth be told I'm really nervous.
