5 Days Left In Roma...


I made another list

Top Ten Favorite Places in Rome…
1.  Piazza Garibaldi on Gianicolo Hill 
2. Campo De’Fiori 
3. St. Peter’s Square 
4. My apartment balcony - Viale di Trastevere 221 Apt C7 
5.  St. Peter’s Basilica 
6. Piazza Navona 
7. Ponte Garibaldi at night and being able to see St. Peter’s Dome all lit up 
8. Piazza del Popolo 
9. San Giovanni in Laterano 
10. Via del Moro the street running in between the two campuses of JCU


The days are winding down and Finals Week is in full swing.  Classes ended last Thursday.  We had class Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  Wednesday, December 8th, was a public holiday in Rome since it was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in the Catholic Church, so the university was closed.  All public holidays in Rome are Holy Days in the Catholic Church.  Cuyler and I have been hanging out a lot and it has hit both of us that we need to move out soon.  We have been chilling in the room, studying for finals and making dinner in the apartment a lot this past week.  My finals don't start until Tuesday and then they go until Friday.  I'm not too thrilled about my schedule, but that's life.  

We started watching the movie Hitch on Saturday night.  It has kind of become our movie.  I introduced it to him a couple weeks ago and we think it's hilarious!  We better finish it before we leave on Saturday.  Last night Cuyler and I were woken up around 3:30 AM to some random Italian man yelling at the top of his lungs in the street.  We checked with each other to make sure we weren't dreaming, and when we realized we weren't dreaming it freaked us out.  This man seriously sounded possessed.  It probably didn't help that Cuyler and I had watched old creepy episodes of Unsolved Mysteries recently to avoid studying for finals.  It helped us avoid studying, but didn't help us when the rabid Italian man awakes in the middle of the night.  

Italian Final tomorrow!  Wish me luck!  See you all soon
