Week 3 here I come


This is the group of all of us who went to Capri and Serrento!



On the walk home from Campo on my 22nd Birthday...


This week has been packed with school and getting into the routine of normal everyday life here in the heart of ROMA. Went to Billa (our local grocery) on Monday and got some food for the week. Even though sometimes eating out is only around 3 euro it still adds up. One thing they do not have here are gallons of milk, they only have liters so Pat and I drink at least two a day.

My class schedule is quite odd. For my four area concentrated classes we have two lectures a week. One lasting for an hour and the other lasting for two but the two hour lectures are called field studies where we actually go to famous places and learn about everything around Rome. We get to go into exhibitions and historical places for free thanks to IES (my program). Most of my classes are Art History based which is different for me, but it makes them a lot better when I can actually see what my professor (who of course does not speak good English at all) is talking about. Today my field study was @ 9:30 a.m. and it was at St. Cicelia Church in downtown Trastevere.

Last night we went to Scholars for kareoke which was a blast as always. Now I am waiting around about to goto Italian class that I have from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. Where I am honestly learning a lot more Italian than I thought I would be.

Be safe in the States.

Ciao Kev
