Its 430; Bars Close at 5

BAD
Tried to be nice and take Libby to the Colo because my ticket (and I took one of my classmate's for her) was good for the next day. We slept in.. then I forgot my ticket when we were right in front of the place...went back to grab it...... NOTE to self: Doors close to go in at 4pm everyday. Sorry Libby

GOOD
Due to the fact that we were starvin marvins and cranky chesters, we went downtown Trestevere and found a fantastic (cheaper) place to eat.. shared a pizza 'pie,' split 1liter of vino. Service was decent, the waitresses seemed not to like Americans even though they had semi-translated menus.

BAD
We were ready to enjoy our night with friends but they didn't call us/reply via text to go out after we were supposed to start the eventful night at our place. Libby and I decided to have our own fun- so I brought out the deck of cards and we attempted to play Italian card games...which failed so we ended up playing an endless game of war. Realizing it was 430AM in the morning (Libby and I sure know how to have fun on our own eh?) I washed up and rushed into my bed. Of course Libby wasn't ready and told me to get up...and at the same time our friends (the ones from Venice who live on our block) texted me and asked to meet them in Testaccio...(assuming we were already out). "Alright......lets go!" ...I changed back into my clothes, and we booked it across the Tiber to a bar (On the Rox) in Testaccio that is 10 minutes away (we made it in 7).
GOOD
It was 4:45AM, and they were getting ready to close. Libby bought a drink and we socialized outside with our friends...also meeting new ones. The new guys we met study at either John Cabot or transferred from there and now go to AUR. Cool thing about them is that they are from all over the world and have lived in Rome for quite some time now. (side note- AWESOME sandwich place right next to On The Rox: €5 for anything and everything on your panini).
The next night, we met that group of guys out, along with the neighbor girls. We had a blast with a new group socializing and dancing until the sun came up the next morning and the lady told Libby and one of the friends to, "Andare dentro, è troppo presto la mattina."
