Surviving ;)

Hello Everyone!!
I made it to Rome safe and sound with all my luggage. I arrivrd on Wednesday 9th around 10:30am Roman time (5:30am midwestern time). We met with the group and directors at Termini and ventured off to find our apartments. After asking three Italians, and going in one wrong direction we finally found it! The apartment is amazing and we get a tv in every room, a wonderful kitchen, and two bathrooms with showers, sinks, and a boudae! I'm living with five other girls who are fantastic. We basically called it a day after getting some pasta for dinner and then went to bed.
The next day, the 10th, we met with our directors and the whole group at the St. Agnus church where the Literature prof. , Camille, took us around and told us some stories and histroy of Rome. We went to the Pantheon and Campo de Furie, which is a market. After that the day was ours and we ventured around the area and then went to the Vatican. It was a gorgious place to see St. Peter's Square, it is alomost intimidating with the size and openess. We ended the night celebrating on of my roommate's 21st birthday and had everyone over at our apartment. It was quite interesting.
On Firday 11th, we got a tour of our school, Dilit International. There are three different buildings that are moderately close. Hopefully I can remember where they are at! Later in the afternoon we went to the American Embassy, where we met with the Embassador Miguel Diaz. (He was a SJU Theo. prof. before he was given this opportunity). He seems very happy where he is at and very humble. He was glad to see us Johnnies and Bennies. After that we got to do whatever for the day, so we decided to go back and veg. for a bit and then go meet up with people to go out on the town. Which didn't really happen, but a small group of us decided to go near the Vatican where there was a concert set up with a local band. It was actually great music, for not understanding Italian. We then saw the St. Peter's square again but this time it was lit up so it looked amazing! After that we decided to call it a night since it was 1:00am. I will hopefully get pics. up soon. Hope you all are doing well and are having a great September! Love you all!
