Sono Arrivato

---

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 in England, raised in Senegal (at an American high school), and goes to university in England. He has an American accent. Weird. He enabled my obsession with taking pictures of the sky as we were flying. I'll post them because some were pretty cool.

Not much to say. Feeling sick still, but at least I'm not unbearably tired. My roommates are nice. The people who live above us are cool. We all go to MSU. I think it's lame that I went all the way to Rome and I'm forced to be surrounded by MSUers.
