Toga party in the Tiz? Anyone game?

Ciao Blog friends,

Here's the scoop. We know that we haven't posted in forever, but we have had a ridiculous week. Actually, the whole program has. It's been nicknamed "The Week From H***" -- I'm sure you all can fill in the asterisks for yourselves. You'll hear about it in detail the next time we post/vlog.

We made these vlogs last Saturday, October 20, but as usual, internet problems plagued our uploads. Then, our week started, and we didn't have time to upload. But, alas, here we are! We decided to post these videos while we had the chance. Hopefully, we'll tape a few vlogs and catch up soon.

When in Rome, dress as the ancient Romans did!

I bet you are all wondering what the title is about. Well, last week, Lauren, Claire, Chelsea (Lauren's roommate), and I decided to work through an Italian reading together. To brigthen the mood, Claire decided she wanted to wear a Toga. So, we made a toga. It only took two bedsheets and several safety pins. [Thanks for making me take them Mom!]

Claire was able to complete the outfit with a perfect pair of sandals. Next goal -- find a wreath of laurel leaves and an obnoxious gold brooch.

We're hoping to convince our archeology professor to have a toga party in class. Wear a toga to class day? Yeah, I like the sound of that.



That's all I have for now. Hopefully, we'll be posting soon!

Love,
Julia
