Day Two ( ! )

Today is much much better than yesterday, so far. I am all rested and really enjoying myself. I am meeting so many new people, and making a lot friends.

I just got back to campus after exploring Rome a little and eating the most wonderful Nutella gelato. While I was in centro the group (which was about 20 people large) got a little lost on our way to the Trevi Fountain. We ended up asking four different people for directions. Thanks to Tim, who speaks wonderful Italian and asked for the directions, we were able to find our way there. It is a sight to see if ever you can get to Rome. I threw a penny in and made a wish, then headed out. After a lot of pictures.

Next we headed to the Spanish Steps. There are a lot of steps. Climbing them is a workout but a very fun workout! Seeing these famous locations in Roma is a little overwhelming. It is really just hitting me that I am living in the eternal city for the semester. There are amazing adventures in my future and I am going to take advantage of them all!

I think each day it will get a little easier to be away from home. Although I know I am going to miss everyone so much, my time here will get easier, and I will have a great time.

On the downside of things...
I still haven't gotten the phone that I really need. I think it will make me feel a lot more comfortable here to know that I can call people and that I will have a phone for emergencies. Also, the cafeteria here is bad. Bad pasta, bad meatballs, bad, bad, bad! And they have cups the size of a thimble. Not cool.

I am dedicating this post to my sister, Georgine, because I miss her, and she told me to write this post.

Ciao amici!
