Stiff with Cold

Last night was fun. A whole bunch of us planned all kinds of fun weekend trips to everywhere! I think I will be spending my first half of spring break in France with Nemo and then meet up with the rest of everyone in Spain for the second half. I'm glad I'm getting all these things planned. We're going to Rome tomorrow! We're trying to figure out hostels and train tickets right now.

I uploaded pictures on facebook finally! I brought my laptop to school at last.

This morning was unnaturally cold. I woke up about 20 minutes before school starts. I live about 30 minutes away, at a leisurely walk in the evening - but for some reason it always takes longer in the morning. I took the bus to school for the first time, and it got me there in like five seconds... so I wasn't late!
It was Ren Art History, and we spent the first half of class talking about Giotto. Then we went to Santa Croce Cathedral and looked at some of his remaining frescoes. It was so cold my feet were burning. However, I have a newfound appreciation for Giotto these days. I never really appreciated just how revolutionary he is.

Funny Story:
So for those of you who don't know, last summer I got cold sores from trying on a lipstick in a store. I did it properly, with the Q-tip to the lipstick, no skin to lipstick contact, but two days later I received a new blessing in my life... and all for a lipstick I didn't even buy.
I believe my weakened immune system is bringing it back... I feel like it might burst out any day. So yesterday I went a Farmacia to get a cream for it. I walk in and the first thing I see is giant plastic lips with this nasty like... rotten black apple in the corner of the mouth with the word "HERPES" right above it. So I walk up and point at my lips and say, "Herpes." and the woman says, "Oh Erpes." She made it sound luxirious, like an Hermes scarf. My cream cost 7,50.
I clearly didn't know how to end that story.

Rome tomorrow! We just fixed on our hostel.
