Lesson learned...
Saturday February 26, 2011
Saturday night all my friends and roommates decided to go to the Crookers concert and considering the fact that concerts aren't really my thing and I haven't the slightest idea who the Crookers are, I decided not to go. Big mistake. They all left around 7:30 and I went down around 8:00 to have dinner with Karl. He ordered take out and we went in the back room of Lions Fountain and ate. He got my a salad but unfortunately, the only form of dressing he had was olive oil and salt. Ew.
After dinner I went back up to my room to get ready to go back out with some girls I had only recently become friends with. While I was waiting to meet them I started skyping my best friend from back home and I was so happy to talk to her I completely lost track of time and by the time I realized it I was already 20 minuets late! I left in such haste that, as I would realize latter that night, I left my keys on the kitchen table. We went back down to Lions Fountain and hopped from bar to bar for a while. When it was time to return for the night I reached into my purse to grab my keys and... they weren't there... On the walk home I tripped in my heels on the cobblestone and completely scraped up my knee. The Crookers concert wasn't even ending until 5 am so I ended up sleeping on my friends couch. I woke up at 5 because I was freezing and saw I had a text from my roommate wondering where I was. Realizing they were back, I left to walk home... also a big mistake. I had no idea where I was but I started walking, looking for the Duomo since I live right near there. I ran into a group of Italian students trying to find their way home as well and asked them for directions. They had no idea where to go either so we started walking together. I finally found a building that I recognized and was able to find my way back home. The second group of roommates got home minuets before me because they weren't able to get into the first cab on the way home and as it turned out, they had ran into the same group of Italians as I did! As soon as I got buzzed in I went straight to bed and slept until noon. Saturday night was a disaster. Note to self: never let my keys out of my sight, and never go anywhere without my roommates.
