Classes and Shopping



Well today is my second day of classes, and they really are not that bad. We are all still getting over the shock of actually taking class in Rome! I have this amazing Scottish priest as a professor, and I love hearing his stories of traveling around the world. He is so nice. My art history professor is actually Greek, and is in every way possible what I envisioned an art teacher to be. The classes are long and challenging, but I believe that I can handle them. I was eating lunch by the trevi fountain today and could not believe everything I was seeing all around me! I have learned that the real way to see this city is to actually get lost, and ask the local businesses where a place is. It is so much more fun to walk down some side streets and see all of the wonderful shops, and to get away form all the tourists. I love looking at all the clothes and shoes in the windows contemplating on what I should buy. Bartering with the street vendors is a lot of fun too. I love seeing how low I can get a watch or pair of sun glasses for!
