It's me...sno...all the way from Rome! :) Tay and I were chatting this morning and she gave me the brilliant idea to start a blog (who would have thought SHE would think of that?????) haha..anyway I thought it was a good idea. I was planning on emailing you all but this seemed more fun and interesting to me and that way you can choose when you want to read my updates :) ill try to get on here as much as I can- like during class when I'm listening to the professor....or even during my downtime of laying around the apartment. My flight went really well...the first flight to amsterdam actually didn't seem that long. After getting to the airport it took us 3 hours to get through everything, find reps from John Cabot and then get our shuttle cab. Waiting for what seemed like FOREVER was the worst part I just wanted to shower and sleep and get to my apartment. It was extremely hot and humid outside so that didn't help. They have crazy drivers on the streets of Rome and of course our shuttle would break down right before a stop light at a busy intersection! it was scary!! After moving into a new shuttle we finally got to school to check in and get the apartment. The place is actually pretty nice and a decent size. I have 2 other roommates who are awesome. I really like them. I share a big room with one of my roommates and there's another smaller room. We also have a bathroom, kitchen, and living area (with a TV). I'll post pictures as soon as I get the chance. Went to school today to fill out papers and registered for an Italian cell phone with decent rates (still planning on using skype to talk to you all from home!!) I have met so many people already and everyone is so friendly. We have a meet and greet for JCU students in about an hour and a half..until then I am resting my feet! so much walking already my feet are starting to blister!! After the meet and greet a few of us girls are going to walk into the city to see ancient Rome. I absolutely can not wait!
I wish I knew a little more italian, its hard to communicate here especially when you are trying to order something to eat or ask for directions. they don't speak much english here..I guess I'll learn with time though :)
All is well and I LOVE it here. living a dream....
Arrivederci!
