La Notte Del Oscar

Things one shouldn't do while trying to write an essay due in less than 24 hours:

1. Watch the Oscars, which start at 12:30 AM Florence time, and that's just the red carpet!
2. Bash the red carpet with your buddies and mom on AIM.
3. try and write a paper while watching the oscars.
4. eat the snacks provided at the NYU sponsored Oscar screening.
   

Too bad thats how I spent my sunday evening.

Regardless--- Spring has Sprung in Florence and the weather was just gorgeous this weekend. Friday was spent sitting in the sunshine of the land at La Pietra, just sleeping and reading and relaxing out on a blanket like it was the beach... Spent Sunday the same way...

Thursday we pre-gamed for Friday night... like this: Queso Dip and Tortilla Chips

Friday night Kelly, Bhargavi, and our new "roomie" Rustin went out to "Tijuana Ristorante" for a little mexican spice!! Ay Ay!! It was great... Just like being back in America... Bad Tex-Mex, Cheezy decor, and long waits to be seated... But with better drunk waiters and tequila. It was like a little slice of Home and it kept me smiling all weekend.

NICE Margarita blue icee!

Sara's birthday is TODAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA!! And her mom took us out to this great family style dinner at I Latini, where the waiters make fun of you, the bill is an estimation and teh owner is toothless. It was So great! especially the birthday candle they gave sarah when i had to explain to the waiter that it was her birthday and she was the girl in the blue shirt.

Me, Rustin, Linds, Dani, Bhargavi, Ari, Ginger, and Sara with her magnificent
candle! MMM what a great dinner with friends!
