Buona Sera from ROME!

It has been a crazy couple of days, but don't worry everyone! I made it! My days so far have consisted of walking, pizza, walking, orientations, walking, walking tours, more orientations, pizza, walking, and more walking. Watch out boys, I'm coming back with one hot pair of legs :) It has been amazing. Here is a quick iPhone picture of a street near my University. It is a 15 minute tram ride from my apartment in Monteverde to my University which is in the next neighborhood over, Trastevere.  

My lovely mother has hidden short verses' or quotes in my luggage that were very encouraging when I was unpacking. As I always say I'm so incredibly lucky to have my supportive family! 

The only thing that has got me worried is ordering things (bread, meats, cheese, pizza, etc.) IN italian. I have been practicing certain phases but i'm REALLy excited to get into my Italian class to really work on talking in Italian. I tend to feel bad because SO many Italians know a little English, but I know almost NO Italian. I will definitely work hard on it! 

My roommates are all wonderful, and I have one from Milwaukee. We met a guy at orientation that works at a bar that streams the Superbowl (which would be around 6am here) it is going to be awesome! 

Classes start on monday and things are very hectic this week but I thought I would make a short post of whatever I could get off the top of my head before heading out! 

Until next time, 
Emily :)
