Oops.

[I wrote this a week ago and forgot to post it. m'bad]

Oh my goodness. Yesterday we had sort of a Rotary get-together. It was the same ten kids from the meeting in Alghero, but it was in Sassari this time, at this huge fancy building in the back of the Piazza d'Italia. So first off, this building is gorgeous from the outside, so I guess it wasn't too mcuh of a surprise to see how stunning the inside is. Also, pictures weren't allowed... buuut all of us were constantly taking pictures from under the table, etc. They're pretty ridiculous. But if anyone asks, these don't exist. So, this wasn't a meeting, because we didn't even discuss anything. The only purpose was for us to meet the President of Sassari, who was actually this really cool lady. We sat in this extremely beautiful meeting room, and were called upon one at a time to be introduced to her and to give her a flag. Afterwards, she talked all about the history of Sassari, and told us the background of all the paintings and murals in the room. Then we got a tour of the King's and Queen's rooms (uh, yeah.) and then were brought to the King's dining room, where there was a table packed with snacks for us, which was amazing. The newspaper took a picture of us, too (though I have yet to see it...). We also got goody bags with a local photography book and a map of Sassari! Hurray!




So yesterday we got let out of school at noon because the plumbing broke. This building is reeeally old. And today we started at 10:20 and finish at noon again, because it's still not fixed so no one is allowed to go to the bathroom. And tomorrow's another sciopero! And Friday morning I leave for Rome! Awesome :)
This week kicks ass.
