WOW. Two blogs in two months? I'm on a roll! Speaking of rolls, try a caprese salad on a roll. The roundness makes it hard to eat, but it's delicious!! And Abby enjoys watching me eat it because I have a systematic way of eating it. The system is not foolproof but it is under development. So on Wednesday I left for Rimini and San Marino. It was nice, but I didn't achieve my goal of the trip: baseball. Rimini reminded me of Wildwood and kind of made me sad that I haven't been there in a while. I didn't really [View Full Entry]

Ok, wow. I have a lot to talk about, don't I! You can blame me a little but cut me some slack; my computer broke! I also had a horrible case of strep throat that made me bedridden for two weeks, didn't respond to the first round of medication, and only went away after I was put on steroids. And I was sent to a gynecologist (because he spoke perfect English). So come on, give me some sympathy! On the plus side, between my robbery, sickness, and broken computer, I've learned a whole new vocabulary. Rubare = to steal, mal di [View Full Entry]

We went to Torino this weekend. It was amazing! It was so pretty (even though it was cold, we all missed Rome's weather) and I feel that the people were much nicer. I wish I was about to write a blog about our great weekend and maybe eventually I will, but I have too much on my mind about other things. On the way back from Torino to Rome, two of our purses were stolen. We put them in a place where we thought it would be safe (I actually thought about the best place to put it that wasn't just [View Full Entry]

Rome is amazing. Seriously. If you have never been here, come here. NOW! I'll take you to my favorite pizza place (more on that later!) We've been doing a lot of the touristy things lately... all those were amazing, of course, but I have found in my travels that the more interesting stories are the ones that are unusual. Yesterday was my ideal day. I woke up to tons of emails from advisers and profs who were trying to figure out details of my graduation plan. I don't really feel like explaining the problem, it's just a huge headache that would [View Full Entry]

Hello, Rome. Buongiorno. I can't wait until I'm comfortable enough to speak Italian to the locals... right now I'm just walking up to them and diving into English. (Although the locals I speak of were mainly at the airport or the housing office here). My flat's awesome. I have a single. Pictures are to come, probably. The flight was mostly uneventful. For future reference, try to have more than an hour for a layover in Amsterdam. They redo the security check! I made it though, so it's all good. On the way to Amsterdam, I sat next to this guy born [View Full Entry]
