Day 22: The Insanity Sets In

This week has been crazy. We have now finished our first class, Renaissance Studies. Wednesday was our test. We had to memorize 80 paintings, but were only testing on 50, which was nice. Today we had our presentations, which went pretty well but took up almost 4 hours. The only thing left is the paper, which will hopefully be finished soon, then on to an entire weekend of blessed sweet FREEDOM.
The above picture is a fairly accurate example of what happens when we are forced to study for hours and hours and hours and our brains can't handle it so we just kind of freak out. It's a pretty common occurrence.
Other insanity lately has included La Cena: dinner. Last night we had pizza for dinner. The process of bringing out 5 pizzas to us took over an hour and a half. After 4 pizzas, we thought for sure dinner was over. We were completely stuffed, so we stacked our plates and prepared to leave. but then! MORE PIZZA. everyone looked at the plate doubtfully, knowing there was very little chance any of that pizza would fit into our extremely full tummies.
Being the adventurous one that I am, I grabbed a slice, said "No challenge is to great for me!" and took a bite. The others followed suit, and 5 minutes later we had so much food inside us we didn't know what to do.
and then
CAKE! yes. after eating that much pizza, i proceeded to eat a piece of chocolate cake. It's a crazy miracle I'm not an enormous person...but by some sweet blessing, I am not.
Carissa also had a bit of a water drinking contest and chugged 6 glasses of water in succession...
We're in desperate need of a break.
Speaking of, this weekend's activities will consist of:
