A Brief Update

Day 45 here in Italy - let me recap the last two weeks.

Since being back from our trip to Southern Italy, we've all been incredibly busy with school work! Its pretty crazy when you think about it. We all jumped head first into project two with our groups and put a lot of time into getting it all finished. Not only that, but five of us gave our history presentations on the first Wednesday of being back. That weekend, Megan McDonough came to Rome to visit and we had a good time - at least I did. And this week was followed by yet another week of lots of homework and things to do.

Friday night, Maureen and I decided that it was time to have a taste of home. We went in search of a movie theater in the afternoon that was playing "versione originale" of L'Amore Non Va in Vacanza ("Love Doesn't Go on Vacation" - or as we Americans know it "The Holiday). We walked all the way to the end of Via del Corso and found our theater! It was so exciting to go back that night and hear English for two hours that wasn't our classmates or professors - so wonderful!

Saturday night (last night), a group of us went out to dinner with Dave and Maureen then went to a posh (expensive) bar called Femme. It was fun and different - it feels like we hardly ever go out when you would think that we should.

So, you are currently all caught up now. Not much has happened within the last two weeks to really report! What's coming up? Spring break in Belgium and London! Incredibly exciting! Hope that you are having as great a time as I am wherever you may be!

Ciao!
