When in Rome...

I'm exhausted and should be sleeping because I'm helping Rose open Taza at 6:30am. Gosh, I adore her.

But really, I was just browsing the CEA (my study-abroad organization) site, perusing for new and exciting info. I struck gold! My academic schedule for my fall semester in Rome, Italy (!) has been posted. It will be as follows:

Monday/Wednesday:
11:30-1pm Intermediate Italian I
1:30-3pm Living Italy: Contemporary Culture & Society
(You know, like, eating gelato, seeing an opera, taking a cooking class; Italian things for class credit).

Tuesday:
9:30-12 The Culture of Food & Wine in Italian Society
(This was the deal breaker especially since it was my second choice to The Papacy & The Roman Church. I'm not complaining).

Thursday:
9:30-12 Global Media: The Art of Persuasion
(The one class that will actually help me advance in my Communication degree, ha!)

No classes Friday, of course. Ah, well, as they say, ("...do as the Romans do.")

This is the place.

This is the place where I will share my thoughts, routines, joys, disappointments, lessons, and overall greatness- hopefully- of studying abroad in Rome, Italy.

I leave August 25th, 2008, approximately six weeks from two days ago.

Voglio di essere in Roma.
