I should tell you about yesterday, if you can even call it yesterday. It was really a giant jumble of two days with 2 hours of sleep somewhere in the middle. I woke up at 10 A.M. on Monday the 25th and departed from America at 5:04 P.M. I arrived on schedule at about 1:30/ 7:30 A.M.
Then followed lots of luggage handling, a brief introduction to my apartment, and strategically getting lost around the neighborhood. I decided to take a power nap. When I got up I was convinced I had slept through the night and into the next day. I was sure I had slept for 30 hours straight. I even woke up my roommate to warn him of the day we missed.
Well, that turned out to be simply untrue. Instead of sleeping through the night, we ended up getting some dinner, going on a walking tour sponsored by the school, and then going out to Campo dei Fiori and other places in Rome with a friend of mine from home.
In short, il primo giorno was a success. I did much more than I anticipated and learned so, so much. I feel roughly acquainted with the bus and tram layout (or at least the ones near me) and I spoke more Italian than I have in any day of my life. And to think I had almost accepted the fact that I had slept through the whole day!
Ciao!
Matt
