Am letztes mal wir haben über Oktoberfest gesprochen... Dieses mal wir werden über ROMA sprechen! Roma war sehr schon und wir haben zo viel getan! Gibts' viele Sehenwirdigkeiten zum Beispiel die Arena, Trevi Wasserspiel etc. Wir haben alle schon gesehen und nur in 3 Tage!
The beginning of the week was alright. Don't remember much because time is going by really fast here.
I left for Rome on Thursday night and we took a bus to Frankfurt Hahn airport- flew to Chimpano Rome and then we went to our hostel. our hostel was called M&J hostel and was the best one i've stayed in yet! The staff was awesome, one of them was even from New York. The thing I love about hostels is that you meet so many travelers, and people from all over. For instance, we met Tom, who was freaking awesome, and the girl from Norway that Ashley is going go visit before December. We managed to see alot and in only 3 days. We first started by taking one of those stupid touristy bus things that everyone tells you not to go on... but we did anyway. It was a nice double decker. Of course we sat on the top. We did this because Rome is so large, we took the entire tour once without getting off (its was a hop on hop off) and we did this to see locations of everything.then to make a priority list of things we wanted to see first). Ok... so the second time around we started seeing the things on our list. We ended up seeing everything in the first 2 days. We also studied for a bit each day, and we chose places we wanted to go sit and read. The last day was the best because we went to the spanish steps and sat there and read... well... I started too but then fell asleep in the sun on the steps infront of the trevi fountain.
We ate Gelato... alot.. I think we both ended up eating 8 or 9 Kugeln of Gelato in 3 days. The pizza in Rome is also good. and the Paninis are to die for!.
Let me tell you about the last day we spent in Rome..
The first day we went to the Vatican City they wouldnt let us in because Ashley was wearing shorts (Strict dress code in the Vatican). So we went back on a Sunday. Just joking around we said that it would be soo cool to see the Pope at the Vatican on our first time in Rome on a Sunday... Sure enough. As soon as we get to the Vatican the music starts and the procession begins... Little did we Know the Pope was giving a mass! That was the coolest thing ever to see the Pope giving a mass and all the people from all over the world that were there! It was soo cool!
Well. The scenery was breathtaking. The Colleseum (Romans call it arena) was magical at night. I think instead of talking about it im just going to put up pictures. They speak a thousand words... down to the last Kugeln of Gelato we ate to Fabio, our Arena tour guide.
Enjoy the pictures.
Now then.. the week after Rome just seemed to fly by!!!!!
I write today, which is Monday, one week since I´ve been back and not too much has happened.
Classes have been good. Getting ready to write some Final exams. I think i am really enjoying these law classes because Its a way for me to see the German words (as long as they are) and to see proper grammer and to actually hear and see what its upoosed to look and hear like. I can almost understand word for word some of the laws in the Bügerliches Gesetzbuch! Which is the law students bible here.
German grammar class is going.... indifferent about how its going. I just keep up. learning my Konjuctiv II and my adjecktiv deklinations. We will see on my final exam. I am also working with some American friends on a presentation about the Health care system in Germany for our German business class.
I really think that the classes not dedicated to teaching me about the German language are helping me really learn it... If that makes any sense.
Ok now the fun stuff you REALLY want to hear about.
The mafia party.
Every semester each Studentenwohnheim gets a chance to throw a huge party for all the students in school. hehe.
It was our turn.
To date, it was the best party of the year!
The theme this year was a mafia party. EVERYBODY came with guns and suspenders and hats and glasses, and black clothing... we looked... so darn good.
From what I remember the music was good...
From what I remember the drinks were good...
Thats all I can really remember...
Oh I forgot to mention that I got my hair cut... short.. in Rome. It looks good.
Anyway. I have been studying alot lately so I decided to take aload off and party a little. I mean.. I lived where the party was so there was no reason not to take advantage of that... hehe.
I know these are some pretty scattered stories, next week will be better.
This week is all dedicated to reading and writing and getting ready for finals, and presentations and such because the next month will be a tad hectic.
Adam comes next month. WOOOOOO! Even though we broke up...
I´m not going to blast our business on the internet... however I AM taking a poll...
Who here actually listens to bad advice that friends give? I didn´t think so...
If your friends told you to eat a handfull of nails would you ? ( The jumping off a bridge cliche was getting old...)
I shall post some more pictures when I get home. For now... Tschüß
