Pizza and Movie Night

I love Saturdays here. Even though we still have class (yes, class on Saturdays!), we have Taz's pizza at night and we all watch a movie on the big screen. Taz Pizza is delicious. It's not greasy like the pizza at home, and has this crust to die for. I have learned, however, that their chicken pizza is NOT like ours. I was looking forward to the moment that the slice would reach my mouth; I could practically taste the scrumptious chicken alfredo flavor on my tongue. I discovered that they use mustard sauce with tomatoes instead. Big taste bud shock.

We all vote on the movie, but it always seems that the boys win. We watched 300 (the story of the Spartans) last time and I have a feeling Troy will conquer tonight. Some of us girls were complaining that we hear about fighting and war all day long and we want to relax with a funny, sweet movie at night. One guy put it all into perspective: "Well, we have to hear about poetry and literature and art all day." I never really thought about it like that. It seems that the girls unknowingly soak in the poetry and "sweet" parts of our lectures, while focusing on the overabundance of war. Guys want to puke if they hear about playwrights and romance one more time. We read a poem this morning, where a guy actually stated that he would go without food and drink for his lover. That's the kind of love I want to find-- especially seeing the way guys prey, vulture-like over our tables after they have consumed round 1. One guy stared at Lauren's leftover food and said, "What is your intention with that meat?" We were all kind of taken back, I mean-- what are our intentions? It's not like we're thinking about asking it out on a date.

Well, regardless of movie, I guess it will be nice to hang out for a while and recover from a week of strenuous classes. Then, we go into Athens tomorrow to shop and to church. I think I'm going to buy a sarong skirt for our trip to Egypt-- that's what Mr. Myhan suggests. There are so many preparations for our trip to Egypt. Pretty much we can't eat anything or drink anything. Haha. And apparently, guys are super super forward. If they express their culture and grope me, I will express my culture right back and slap 'em in the face! Haha. I won't be able to write much while there, but I will update you later. We're going to see the pyramids, we're crusing on the Nile, and so much more! Can't wait!
