Simple Pleasures

Monday, December 18. 2006
There is nothing quite like staying in bed too long on a Sunday, only wake up and watch a few cartoons and be offered dinner by 2 Italians (at 10pm). Afterward, I sat with Frankling, Ceasare (sp?), and Kien just talking. We had a finger or two of coffee, and I talked with Franklin a little more about spending almost a week in Italy in January (I think I'm going to do it). Before I knew it, it was 1am. More studying to do. But I read on the economic policies and difficulties of the European Economic Union and the countries therein have to manage their economies differently than other developed countries (ie, the US). Interesting stuff actually. It is so nice to not mind studying for at least ONE exam.

That ranks up there with Friday's exams. I had a decent one, so I went to have a beer and study for my next exam. And I wasn't the only kid on that plan. It just isn't uncommon. One of the bankers having lunch in the pub even asked me how I did and when I was sitting next. And on Tuesday, I might even have chips with my beer between exams.
