Thursday is the New Friday

It's the weekend!!!! For me at least.

Tomorrow a bunch of us ACCENT kids are off the Ravenna, and then on Sunday I think Cara and I are going to Collodi, a little town that is Pinocchio themed. AWESOME!!

This week, I finally sucked it up and stood in line to get the Amici gli Uffizi card. This card is brilliant. For 40 Euro ((yay student discounts!)) I can now get into every museum run by the Florentine Museum Coalition or whatever FOR FREE. That's right. I can go the the Uffizi as many times as I want and not pay for any of it. To celebrate, I turned around and got in line to get into the museum.

Let's just say that I am so glad it only takes 90 seconds to get from my front door to the Uffizi. I made many new friends that I am going to have to go back and visit. What, don't you make friends with artwork? Psh.

Last night, I went to the soccer game:: Fiorentina vs Sampdoria. We kicked them to China and back. 2 to 0. It was, however, a very confusing experience for me. There was a whole stadium full of purple wearing, frighteningly fanatic people. However, there was no riff ram, no smack it and flip it and rub it down. And then, just to rub it in, they all just left as soon as the game was over. Don't you people stay and sing the alma mater?

Speaking of songs, we got a translation of the Fiorentina fight song. Not all of these lyrics make practical sense. For example::
- "We have eleven athletes and one heart" - I feel that this is actually going to drag the team down. Also, how do they share this heart? I've got this image of the fates in Disney's Hercules where they pass their one eye around, drop it on the ground, pull hairs off of it, etc. Ew.
-"Fight everywhere with intensity and importance" - that's how riots get started.

Tomorrow, we're off to Ravenna. More after the weekend.
