Friday

So yesterday... humm
I got up and went to the uni, as I needed to get my certificate of arrival signed and stamped here. After that we'd arranged yesterday to meet at the market at 12, so I wandered around and us 5 (yes, its now 5. we've expanded) all met up and went round the market. People didn't really buy anything, other that I got a pair of socks for a euro. That didn't take very long so then we went to this really swanky place that had really nice food for lunch. Most people had a pasta/salmon dish, Hannah had a wrap with ham and I had hot cooked peppers with sausage bits. It tasted really good, but was expensive.
After that everyone else went home but I went shopping in Co op for some food seeing as the cupboard here is bare. I got wraps, crisps, passata sause, orange juice, cereal, olive oil, ameretto, lettace, smoked salmon and stuff. Walking home was hot and sweaty, urgh. Worth it for the food thou. Then I chilled online for a while. At this point I was really hungry and I wasn't going to be eating until 8.30 so I had a wrap and some crisps.
At 8 we were going to go around to Hannah's for dinner so I met up with Lucie and we got the bus. It took a while to arrive though. When we got to where we thought Hannahs was we couldn't find it so we phoned. It took us over half an hour to finally sort out where she was, with much wandering along roads and panicy phone calls. We arrived a bit later than 9 I think. She'd made really nice food. We had cous cous with grilled aubergine and squash with a chicken breast. It was really good. Then for dessert we had sugary coconut buiscut/cake thing with magno (i think it was) on top. they had lashings of cream with it too. That was also really good. Hannahs flatmates and two friends were also there and they were chatting away. They asked me what I studied and all approved when I said archaeology. We also had a quick convo about my trowel (Hannah wanted to know what it was in Italian). Later on there was some food left and it was offered around and I was the only non Italian who had more and I got loud cheers of brava! for the Italians lol. I think they thought it was a bit weird that I wasn't drinking wine, but they didn't say anything. After we'd eaten the Italians went off to get ready for the night out and us lot stayed and chatted. During this time there were many loud girly shrieks from the other rooms, v funny. Not much happened after that, we got the bus and I went home.
Today, i've not done anything. Had cereal and thats about it he he. Its the festival of San Petrino today (i think hes Bologna's patron saint) so its a big festival and theres concerts and stuff going on in Piazza Maggorie this evening. We're going, and will blog about it later
