Leaving on a Jet Plane...

Ciao!

As my US farewell tour comes to a close, I look forward to the adventures awaiting me across the pond (and then some). I will be making a strong effort to post on this regularly. My attention span was always too short for daily journaling, but perhaps this will be easier, since it won't be daily (don't be sad, I expect you all have your own lives to focus on everyday instead of mine). Please, keep in touch with me while I'm in Europe. I think you can post comments on this- maybe not (I don't really have the kinks worked out yet). Also, feel free to e-mail and facebook me. You have to keep me in the loop about the ongoings back in the states- like the Cubs go all the way this year, or Brangelina decide to adopt quadruplets from Albania, or they really find Anna Nicole hiding in a shack in rural Texas. These things are all very important! Oh and I'd like updates on your lives as well. I shall miss you all and look forward to hearing from you.

Love you all!
Arrivederci!
Katie.

Schoolz!
Hey K-Munny! I can't wait to hear about your first big adventures with the Pope! Please tell him I'll return season 3 of Lost next time I'm in the Vatican. But, anyways, I started classes today and I am in my War, Peace, and Faith class right now and now that I have a syllabus in my hands I just realized I am going to have to read the entire book, War and Peace, and am almost going to pass out... That's crazy... I didn't sign up for this... Oh wait, I guess I did... Well gotta go! Teacher's talking!

Have fun, Katie!!
You go, Katie! We're so excited for you and are looking forward to hearing about your adventures. Soak it up, have a GREAT time. Sophia has a few questions for you: 1- Do you know how to speak Italian? 2- Is it pretty there? 3- Are you gonna se the Pope? Or at least the place where he lives? (The "Pope-house", as Forrest calls it) And Forrest has one question: Are there any hurricanes in Rome? Have fun Katie!! The Lindemanns

Hello Lindemanns!
It's so wonderful to hear from you!! I hope the beginning of school is going well. In response to your questions: 1. I do not know how to speak Italian. I'm taking Italian 101 this semester. Let's hope it helps because I'm already a little lost. 2. My campus is pretty. It's small, but looks like how I imagined a Roman school to be. It has a nice garden and a brick walkway through the middle with statues of heads outlining the walkway. From what I've seen of Rome so far, it looks like Southern California- just a lot less populated. 3. I will be going to a papal audience on Sept. 24th. So yes, I will be seeing Pope Benny! In response to Forrest's question, I do not believe there are any hurricanes here. But if there are, I'll let him know. These are awesome questions! I look forward to hearing from you!

KATIE!!! How's Rome??? I miss you and can't wait to hear more about it! P.S the lightsaber was a big hit at Rhodes

GOOD LUCK!
Hey Katie, it's Angela. Just wanted to wish you good luck and fun in the sun in Rome. Best wishes, keep in touch.

Rome
Hey Katie, how are things going? Are you absolutely in love with Italy yet? Things are well here although it has been raining ALOT! I couldn't say how the Cubs are doing but I think they haven't messed things up and are still in the running for making it to the World Series. No word on Brangelina adopting more children although I think I heard Madonna may be adopting another. How is it going with you dodging the paparazzi while in Italy? Can't wait to hear how things are going - especially the swim in the Med. Lots of love, Rachel
