Day Seventeen.

Today was mostly good until the end.

I woke up late (9:30) and had breakfast and showered then read and watched a movie until 1ish. Everyone else went to the Mensa for lunch but I didn't want that so I went to Akash, ordered a lemon cake and a small pizza they had sitting on the counter (personal size) and got some change from that. Then I went to a small pizza shop and ordered four mini pastry pizzas which were delicious. I tried to find gelato but the usual places didn't have anything that caught my fancy. I headed back to the apartment and ate my stuff at the kitchen table and then people trickled back from lunch.

After lunch I read some more and watched another movie. People mostly stayed around the apartment as well and Kate and Kiki went to the gym. Around 4 Erin, who had apparently been looking at flights online, suggested that we go to Morocco in two weeks. Nick has plans to go to Paris and Greg, Paul, Laura and Kiki were going to go to Prague (we had decided not to) so Erin found flights to Tangiers, Morocco for very cheap. We will book things tomorrow but it looks like a pretty done deal. We'd leave Thursday morning (skip both of our classes) and come back Saturday (last flight out until Tuesday). I'm pretty excited. The cheapest hostel there is pretty expensive ($27 a night) but is AMAZING. We basically get a hotel suite. More on this later.

For dinner we went to Locca which is the furthest restaurant away. Dan wanted to go so that's what we did even thought we all wanted La Duchessa. It was pretty good food. Nothing amazing. I wanted gelato afterwards but everything was closed. Dan, Kate, Erin and Jordan went to see Avatar in 3-D after dinner but I had no interest in seeing the movie so I headed back here to watch another one on my computer where I sit now.

Tomorrow we're waking up early to go to the market because apparently we missed half of it the last time we went. I'm on the lookout for a small purse that has a shoulder strap so I can put it across my chest. Something for going out everyday so I don't have to carry my big purse. We'll see. Hopefully Vin will be open tomorrow, too, so we can have dinner there.

Oh. Looks like the Valentine's Day bakery crawl isn't going to happen--just like I predicted. People are backing out because they don't want to pay even though they could just use a meal voucher and get change. Whatever...I'm not going to waste my time convincing them. Yay for a really lame Valentine's Day. I might just go to a bakery anyway but that's hardly less pathetic than not going.
