so i decided to put in a little spiel here about rome. that city is awesome! you walk off the metro and BOOM! there is the colosseum. I got to see all the old buildings and then we saw a bunch of the churches too. took four tours underground, two to catacombs, and one under st. peter's. i saw the bones that they believe are his. the catacombs were my favorite part, and although i saw lots of things i need to go back to see more. the side trip to florence was amazing as well. all the famous art work was right in front of me, on the wall rather than in a book.
then there was the food. omg. i can't even eat pizza here anymore, it's just not the same food. i want to go back and order a pizza fungi (mushroom). it comes about the size of a large here, but with thin crust so it's not big enough to share. you eat the whole thing. and the pasta. mmmmm. plus wine, i really miss having a glass with dinner. i guess that is the disappointment of being underage and living on campus. but at least i'm back where the alcohol is less potent, and it's rum in coke rather than coke in rum.
then there was atlanta. two of the most boring days of my life stuck in a hotel 'cuz of a stupid ice storm. that's all i have to say about that.
classes are going alright, it's going to be a really busy semester, and i don't know how i'm going to get everything done. not even a full week and i'm already stressed. not a good sign. to add to that there is the whole boy issue. i'm not sure if i should boycott them with asha, or just keep trying. it hasn't worked so far, and i'm not sure if there is any hope. all i can do is my best, talk things out and put my behind in the past. (anybody catch that lion king reference?) easier said than done. in a few days i will either be excited, or i will be even more depressed.
stay tuned for more.
ciao
