St. Peters Square

Today everybody went to go see the pope, they kept saying how it was one big concert and how he's basically a rock star. Well, I didn't go. I didn't go for personal/religious reasons. They said I missed out, but I guess you can't really miss out on something you're not interested in. Isn't that funny.
I met the class afterwards for presentations and another... guess what... worksheet! It just keeps getting better and better (being sarcastic here) St. Peters Square itself was very lovely, before coming to Rome it was my wallpaper on my laptop, and seeing it in person was just amazing. I was more than 4,000 miles away from home experiencing first hand a picture I had on default for so long. Inside the Basilica, I saw many people, gathered around for religious reasons, for tourist reasons, for reasons that I may never know. By the entrance, there was a long line of people, they were waiting to touch a golden cross. I asked one of my classmates what the line was for and she said "It's the popes cross, nobody was able to touch it but him. Now it's available for everyone, they say that if you touch the cross that your feuds with your enemies will end" Haha. Never had I heard so much ignorance. Someone please reference a scripture to back that claim up. The style of the interior of the basilica was nice though, but overall it was an unpleasent visit that I wouldn't do again. I just don't care, it means nothing to me. Nothing.
