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.")

I was in Rome last summer. It was pretty amazing.

We went Naples > Rome > Tuscany > Florence > Venice (with a few other places like Maranello thrown in as day trips) over about 15 days.

I'll be studying abroad in Paris from September until December, so we're kinda in the same boat... I hope you enjoy the hell out of your experiance.

Cheers,
