Getting the hang of Roma


Pretty sure I’m already adjusted to living here and we’ve only been here a few days. Rome is incredible; there really aren’t words to express how much I love it here. Everything from the food, to the people, to the language, not to mention Italian children are probably the cutest things EVER.  Something about foreign children just makes them a thousand times more adorable. They could be screaming and making a scene and they somehow still manage to look just as sweet.

As for what I’ve been up to, thought I’d give a quick update. Last night we met up with some more Johnnies from the London trip at an Irish pub called Scholars. It happened to be karaoke night, which was a lot of fun.



This morning CEA staff took us on a tour of our neighborhood to all the shops and important places around our apartment. We went to a grocery store and they explained how everything works. We got our first round of food and it finally feels a little homier. We’ve been having family style dinners so far and they’ve been delicious. Then CEA provided us with a lunch of random assortment of traditional foods. Then we had meetings for a while going over logistics of how things work around campus. Later that night we just had more of our own group bonding out on the terrace in the gorgeous weather. It’s supposed to be high 90s all week, so we were thinking of spending our first weekend on the beach. More hopefully sooner rather than later!
