Rain, Bonnie Tyler, and Tiramisu

September 17
After 4 days of rain, the sun is finally out. And as beneficial as rain is, I'm sure glad the storms have stopped. The past few days have been fairly uneventful, with the exception of a few events. The first occurred this past sunday. After awaking, disheartened, to a lack of syrup for my french toast, I needed something to brighten my day. And after a boring breakfast and a walk through town, my day was certainly made bright. For what did I find? not syrup..no...it was something far greater. Something that brings joy to the ears of all who hear it...happiness to the hearts of all its listeners. That's right folks. Total Eclipse of the Heart. Carissa and I spent all of sunday morning making a music video to that song, and spent the evening editing it to perfection. It began as a birthday present for my friend Liz back at school, but we had so much fun making it that we couldn't help but share it with the other students at San Paolo. And for all you wonderful people out there, he's the link so you too can share in the wondrous joy that is Bonnie Tyler. <- click that ok.
Anyway. That was sunday afternoon. Sunday night we had a birthday party for our dear sweet Hannah, who turned 22 on Saturday. And I've never been to heaven...but I'm fairly certain heaven tastes something like the tiramisu we had after dinner that night. It was simply divine. Laura, the Italian RA here, is going to teach us all how to make it so we can bring the heavenly happiness back to the states with us.
Other than that, it's just been class, homework, food, and more food. Which is just fine by me. Tomorrow we leave for Florence for 3 days, which will no doubt be 3 full days of insanity. I'll be sure to keep you updated.
