my life is out of control!

i don't even really have time to update this now, but i thought it would be nice if i just posted really quickly.

i have had a really great week. the thing about life here is that the days feel unbelievably long, but the weeks FLY by. With that being said... The Sicily Adventure is upon me.

Tomorrow morning I leave Rome, via bus, with 35 students, 4 teachers, and 1 administrator. We are driving to SICILY. That is...really, really far. Its going to take 2 full days to get there. Granted, we're stopping along the way for a couple of minor archaeological points of interest, but still! I am going to be gone from the 5th until the 13th. I will have to make a SUPER long post upon my return.

After that I'll be in rome for a couple of days to get situated...do laundry...and maybe do some homework? Then I'm going to Paris on the 16th with my friend Genvieve. We'll be in Paris for 3 nights, and then we're going to Venice to meet up with our friend Emily for 2 nights. I am so, so excited. I will have so many pictures when I get back, it won't even be funny.

Once I get back from break my time here in rome will be about half done. That is so hard to believe.

Anyway, I'm loving life here. I seriously cannot believe how many amazing people are here with me, both students and professors. I hope everything is well back in the US.

Talk to you after Sicily!
