1st Post

Ciao.

I've finally arrived in this beautiful city. Yeah some say its dirty with the smog, graffitti, and trash but I think I can argue against that. Every city has its own unique character and Roma could not be complete without all those components however "dirty" they may be.

The program itself is good. The majority of the students who have joined me on this program are nice and fake. Preppy New England style pricks with no brains whatsoever. It makes me really wonder about the program... Its fun to kick back and watch them darting in all directions possible, scampering to forge an "inner circle" to compensate for their lack of self-confidence and plain good judgement. I think they're going about this all wrong. But who the hell am I to say anything, si?

My schedule is insane. I've got 4 classes, 3 walking tours per week and for good measure, an internship at a museum library. An average day at oxy aint got shit. The first couple of days I thought my legs were about to fall off after walking 50 miles. You wish I were exagerrating those numbers.

Everything is bene: the food is delicious, the city is unbelievable, and the men are cute and sleezy but nonetheless cute. The cappucinos and pastries are amazzzzzinnnnggg. In fact, they're so amazing I think I'll go get one now.

A presto,
Jane
