About Me

Rome, Lazio, Italy
Hello All! This is a blog for everyone to follow what I'm up to throughout my time here in Rome. Here you'll not only be able to visit along with me as I adventure around Europe but also follow me as I learn more about Italy, other cultures and myself. Hopefully it will make you all feel like I never even left - but don't hesitate to write me!

Relaxing in the Garden

So today's been pretty eventful, which makes up for the nothingness that I've done so far this week. Monday I had no class and pretty much was just recovering from being out so late watching the Superbowl. Tuesday I had class from 9am to 6:40pm (18:40 as the Romans call it) so that was fun. A high point was my dinner actually. We discovered a pizza shop near our apartment called "Marys Pizza" that does a deal where for 10 euros you can create your own pizza that's 3 feet long and 1 foot wide basically, an amazing deal and you split it into thirds so you get three different types made fresh to order!

Today I got up and came here to AUR to finalize my permit to stay (I'm now a legal person here, yay!) Then, I hung out for a bit and went over to the Vatican and bought my friends and I the tickets to take a tour of St Peters Tomb and the rest of the Necropolis underneath St Peter's Basilica. It's going to be on my birthday so I'm pretty pumped, that should be a life changing experience. I don't throw that phrase around too often either. After putting on my tourist face and hanging out in St Peters Square afterwards I caught the bus back to campus and the bus took this route that went on top of some hill and I had an incredible view of all of the city of Rome. Pictures of this view to come. It was awesome.

Then I met my friend here back on campus, and by campus I mean the garden in between the two class buildings. Went to the phone store and got her back on the social map and I upgraded my plan and got a new cell # because of it. Now I get double the text message per month for still the same rate! Score. My new # is 333-437-1700, which means I now have to tell all 3 people who had my old number that I got a new one; shouldn't be a big problem, ha.


Alright, I've got Italiano class in a few minutes to close out my day (also my first class today). After I'm heading to the AUR Wolves soccer game to cheer on my roommate (there's actually just a bar next to the field).

Successful Wednesday, check. Two classes tomorrow and then its the weekend! Heading to Florence for a couple days this weekend? Possibly. I hope you all appreciate my new layout, it's all of pictures I took myself. Submit your complaints to anyone but me.

Ci Vediamo A Presto! (see you soon)
