Today is my second day in Rome, and I am still working on getting settled. Luckily, I slept on the plane over here so I am not too jet-lagged! I haven't seen a lot of the city yet, other than the neighborhood in which I am living in, which is called Monte Mario. I live at the Hotel Zone, which is nice and modern, other than the fact that it is about a 15-20 minute walk to campus. We have our own bathroom and there is free breakfast every morning, which is nice! All of the students have been busy with a lot of paperwork and informational meetings, so everyone is still adjusting.
I have only ate here in the cafeteria, which they call "mensa", and the food has been really good, but I hear that I will get sick of it after a while. This weekend and next weekend there are some school trips planned to the Coliseum and some small cities throughout Italy, which I am excited for. I will be able to post some pictures then and have some pictures of the neighborhood.
Right now though, it is 8:00 PM, or 20.00, which is how they tell time here. I am still getting used to that and I have to think every time I want to know what time it is. I am off now to explore the city for the night, and then more meetings tomorrow!
Ciao!
