Tuesday, I had class at the Pantheon and the Ara Pacis (an altar used to sacrifice to the Roman gods during ancient times). I love that class more and more every week.
Wednesday we had our second week of Calcio (soccer). Our school has a league. I was never a soccer fan but I love this! It get's so intense. People are constantly bleeding, pulling muscles, and some kid even broke his wrist...What! Our record is 1-1 right now, getting better every week! Go Gold!
On Thursday I started doing volunteer work at a homeless shelter run by the Missionaries of Charity. This organization was started by Mother Theresa. I will be going every Thursday helping to clean and cook for the homeless men. I'm interested in comparing this to the one that I go to in Chicago.
This weekend I went out dancing twice, both times great! It was nice being in Rome for the most part. Traveling is exhausting. Yesterday our school took a group of 25 kids or so to Pompeii. I really liked it! As an anthropology minor I really enjoyed seeing the excavating going on. Also the plastered bodies were crazy. It was actually very sad seeing those.
It snowed on Friday in Rome. It hasn't snowed in Rome for 35 years!
Also, I decided to go to Tunisia, Africa for spring break. It's through the school and the highlights are camel treking and camping in the Sahara desert. Sounds like a good time to me!
Happy Valentine's day! Hope everyone has a good week.
I've decided your blog is a lot better than mine. But it motivates me, I need to add photos!
