Graduation/summer

Now that no one reads my blog anymore, I think that i'll start posting again. So graduation was fun. Graduated Cum Laude, with lots of honors cords, and I was the last person of the class of '06 to graduate. Then I got in my car, drove 10 hours or so home, and then another 3 hours to Atlanta. Then I got on a plane to Jersey, slept for about 45 miuntes, and then read some. Got to Jersey, my 5 hour layover turned into a 10 hour layover because my plane had been over booked (but I got $500 for my seat) then I flew to Rome, and slept for a few hours on the plane. The women in Rome, as one of our guides said "they are beautiful, but don't look for too long, they become bitches." My apt. is out about 30 minutes away from where we meet for classes, but it is a nice walk, and there is a great little market on the way where I buy fresh fruit for breakfast every morning. Someday I'll have to get some meat from the stall next to him, but I am not sure how to do that yet. Kind of a little bit of a language barrior going on right now. Right now, I am off to do some homework. I might buy a cheep little camera and take some pictures, but at the moment I am taking Romelo's advice and sketching the scenery and licking the statues. Ever since the guard with the machin gun threatend me I have avoided licking the paintings. Does anyone know what a Caravagio is? They certainly don't taste as good as they look!
