Settled

WOW,
it seems like the past few weeks have been nothing but GO-GO-GO! i guess thats what you must expect from a huge city like Rome...
school has been much more relaxed this month, however, we have a midterm on thursday, not even 2 weeks into class!! A 1250 word essay due next week, 5000 due the next week on top of a final, and 2500 words for our research project!! you get the picture...
however, i have gotten a chance to do some things ive been wanting to do. ive gotten to see the colosseum, the forum, pantheon, trevi fountain, etc. and got to travel back to tuscania and viterbo this past weekend because the italians had a birthday party for me! one of my friends, marco, who lives on a farm, slaughtered one of his pigs and we roasted it! everyone came and we told stories n drank wine and had a really good time!
i found out that i have internet in my house. well, not in my house but outside the window! so me and dan set our computers up in the windowsill and sit and type right next to each other!! its great because usually i have to go ALL the way to school to use internet which is a huge drag. transportation in rome sucks! it takes me 20 minutes to get to school! i have to walk 5 min to the metro, the a 10-12 min metro ride, and another 5 minute walk uphill to school. then walk up 3 flights of stairs! life sucks huh ;)
anyways, i better get started on those essays!!
ciao
