Ciao regazzi!
Midterms are coming up next week, something I am really not looking forward too. I think they should be illegal to have while studying abroad. They are significantly cutting in to the time I would be spending outside in the beautiful weather. Although I only have two midterms they are both historical and definitely not a strength of mine. Next week is definitely going to be rough...
High points of next week include:
CALCIO!
Cappuccini
Cornetti
The beginning of Spring Break!
My Family!
and Sydney!
Enough of a look ahead though, what's happened since I posted last?
The weather in Rome has been beautiful. I'm definitely not used to 60 degree Februarys, coming from Chicago. It's a nice change, one of the best things about being abroad. I try to be outside everyday, either reading, napping, talking with my friends or exploring the city.
The downfall to the weather here is that it rains quite a bit. Mostly in the mornings or evenings which is nice in some respects but inconvenient in one big way: Calcio. Calcio is played at night and the first four games have fallen on rainy nights, leading to wet shoes, colds and worst of all, cancelled games.
Last Wednesday was a sunny, breezy, 65 degree day. I sat outside without a jacket, bought and iced cappuccino, and went for a walk. I went inside for dinner (in the basement) for half an hour, went back upstairs to change for calcio only to find raindrops on the windows from the downpour happening outside. Needless to say I was disappointed but my spirits were lifted when, as time passed, people started heading to the fields. No announcement came about a cancellation...so the games were on! It was a great night. I had a lot fun. My team lost to Navy Blue, but no matter, we still enjoyed ourselves.
Well, I need to ciao now. I have midterms to study for, I'm shooting for A's! Cross your fingers per favore, I think I need all the luck I can get.
