This Weekend

Pretty cool weekend, a couple guys and i went down to the Non-catholic cemetery in Testachio with our Philosophy professor to see Anton Gramsci's (a founding member of the italian communist party and we read one of his books in our "Philosophy of Communism and Fascism in Italy" class) grave. We also saw Keats and Shelley's while we were there, and then there is a Pyramide stolen brick by brick from Egypt that one of the Emperors is burried in. Afterwords we were going to go out for drinks, but it was still kinda early so our professor had us over to his house (a couple blocks away) and we ended up just hanging out there and talking philosophy, music, JFRC life and a ton more. After that my friend Scott and I went to a concert. We saw the Cold War Kids, a band i had never heard of, but Scott really liked and they turned out to be really cool, i even got my ticket signed by a couple of the guys in the band after the show, and then we hung out at the bar the concert was at for the rest of the night, good times.
Last night, one of the SLA's knew a guy that owned a bar and so a bunch of kids went there around 12 after we had all gone out to separate places, which was a lot of fun. The bar kinda sucked, but it was good to see all of the JFRC kids out having a good time and smoking was ok inside, which was awesome. After we left there, we went to get Kebap's (and opening a Kebap Stand near campus is how i plan on making my first million) but there wasnt enough room in the cab for all of us, so my friend Nick and decided to take the night bus, but instead of hopping on the close one, we just walked around the city talking for awhile, it was really cool.
Sunday was lazy, just hanging out, so i thought i would give you guys one more little insight into my life here in Rome. Big week coming up for me, and then thanksgiving break, and then its already december (or as we are starting to call it, november 31st, november 32nd, november 33rd.....). This semester has been so awesome, but i miss you guys back home almost as much as i miss rubbing the biliken and consoling Tim. Drop me a message or email so i can see how you guys are doing wrapping up the semester. Have fun out there.
