Il fino di settimana

Well this weekend was almost pretty uneventful.

I went out Thursday night with my roommates since I don't have class on Friday. First we went to a bar in Trastevere, which was PACKED. Kristen asked for a shot and said, "give me the strongest thing you have." Saying this got her a 3 euro shot with who knows what in it. There was some red stuff on the bottom, something else, bailey's, something else, then absinthe. I just stuck with a vodka cranberry. After we finished our drinks there we went to a club across the Tiber in the historic center. We all though it was going to be 15 euros and we get all we can drink for an hour. Nope. We didn't pay any cover and mixed drinks were TEN EUROS. I got a shot of tequila for 5 euros and called it a night on the drinking. I refuse to spend that much money on alcohol. Instead I just danced all night. We left the club at like 3:30am and walked to Piazza Venezia to get la notturna bus home. The routes change a little and run less frequently at night. We waited about 45 minutes in the light rain. I was freezing and it was going on 4:30am. Right as we were about to break down and get a cab the bus came.

I woke up the next morning not sick with the "budweiser flu" (as my dad would say), but sick with the actual flu. It wasn't that bad at first, but by sunset I was curled up in bed with a fever, chills, headache, the works. I started reading the Hunger Games on my kindle and am now obsessed. Took it easy yesterday since I was still feeling kind of shitty. Went to the park and grocery store and that was it.

Today Leah and I went to the park for like two hours. Tried to run a bit, but was dying after like 2 miles.

Over the weekend Leah and I also went to Termini, the train station, to buy tickets to Perugia which is a smaller city somewhat north of Rome in the region of Umbria. We are planning on staying outside the city on a farm. We're trying to have a little weekend in the country because we both need it.

I'm planning on going to watch the Pats at an irish pub tonight with some of my roommates and hopefully dragging Leah along with me. We'll see how that goes.
