How Honors students spend their days off...

Since we have so many papers to finish up, altar projects to create, and suitcases to cram, Lisa gave us the day to work on all these half-finished assignments. Since today was my day for daily diary, I went around Palazzo Pio to capture everyone in action shots.

So how do Honors students spend their days?

Well, some of us get things done around the apartment. Ema here is hanging up her laundry, while Shayla and Kristin attempt to make packing fun.

Others, like Julia and Danny, type away furiously at their computers. I get the impression that Julia is preparing for a typing marathon in this photo...

The rest of us spent the afternoon working on our papers and projects too, though with slightly less gusto than Julia and Danny exhibited. Christina, Whitney, Schuyler, and I appear cheerful while typing away at our laptops, regardless of any ill feelings we may be secretly harboring towards our slacking creative juices.

Mandie, on the other hand, makes no effort to hide her distate for haikus about Bernini. In fact, if I were Bernini, I would start running in the other direction. Quickly. Especially if you saw the other picture of Mandie that I didn't post, which shows her trying to eat my camera.

Poor hardworking Honors students :) Except that we are in Rome, and even studying isn't that bad when you get to do it in such a fabulous place!

The last great action shot I took today was of Lisa and her favorite dog in the whole wide world, Sadie :) Too bad Sadie hates ALL of us and barks her head off anytime any of us walk into the room...

Well, those are all the action shots I have for today, folks. Only a few more days left, so I'm off to make the best of them! Ciao ragazzi :)
