Monday, July 13

Monday in Ancient Rome class we learned about victory temples, which were created by military generals in Republican Rome after receiving the highest honor: the Triumph. They built these temples to honor the gods who had helped them win a battle. I spent lots of Monday working on my presentation, which was on Tuesday! The way it works in our class is we each have a presentation on different monuments, on different days throughout the semester. After giving the presentation at the site of the monument, we get feedback and have discussion with other peers and our professor. We then turn in a paper the next day which is an elaboration of our presentation. I wanted to get mine done early!


I took a break to go to a place that was supposed to have really good burritos! My friend Francesca found it online, and it had great reviews. The name of this place is Draft Book, a bar, bookstore, and restaurant so it seemed. Unfortunately, the apparently only make burritos in the winter because it’s “too hot” in the summer. We were so disappointed. What actually made it worse is that they offered chips and salsa. We ordered some and they were terrible.
