The Weekend, and Monday

So Saturday nothing much happened. I was still getting over this damn cold. I mostly watched the OC and chilled for the day. Talked to mum on skype and stuff. In general it just wasn't a very interesting day.
Sunday however was interesting. I woke up at half past 6, which was silly. I woke up too early and I needed to wash my hair and shower anyway. I left the house at half past 7! I had given myself ages as it took so long to get there when I went to get mum but it turned out that I got there really early. Feltrinelli (bookstore, but like WH Smith) was open so I went in and got Italian Cosmo and "umoini degli figligo" otherwise known as children of men. Then I went to the train station and met up with everyone. It was packed! Lydia gave me my ticket (you have to get singles) and we got on the train. Lucie was waited for Julia, they got on the train but couldn't find me. It was pretty packed, set the tone for the whole day really.
We arrived, got together and then went up this platform thing outside the station to look at the city. We took pictures and stuff. Then we went down and over the bridge and the main canal. There were so so many people. People selling fake gucci bags and weird balloon sand things made into shapes. The streets were gorgeous, I took loads of pictures. The people kinda spoilt it though. At one point my plastic bag broke and everything fell on the floor. I had to take up half the alleyway sorting it out!! It did feel properly like a medieval city though. The canals every other street were all gorgeous, and the gondoldas also looked lovely. We followed the same route as the main tri organised by the uni (Lucie and Julia went with that trip) but we went at our own pace and gave the queues for St Marcs a miss. Still looked great from the outside while we ate our lunch. After that we carried on wandering about and taking pictures. We sat at a cafe at one point, and had an ice cream next to the grand canal at another. It was a good day, but spoilt by people really. We left at about half past 5. The journey back was very chilled, mostly everyone was tired and listening to their ipods. I went home and made food and slept.

Monday:
Monday (was yesterday) was another day mostly of lessons. Didn't really have time to sort out doctors. Lessons were tiring as normal. Watched OC in the evening.
not much else to say. will update tomorrow
