I was going to title this Monday, Monday, when I realized its Tuesday

Where has the day gone, time literally flies over here, before I know it I'm going to be on my return flight home, but until then I have many blog post to write, including this one. Today, despite passing very quickly, was relatively uneventful considering I'm in Rome. I woke up 'early' around seven a.m. which in college time is almost the butt crack of dawn :) Class at nine (bodies and burials)was really interesting again, we studied the process of uncovering bodies, and watched a British show called Time Team. This team basically digs up peoples gardens looking for graves, pretty awesome. I had to leave about halfway through the class to complete my permit to stay, which is a document that states that I am legally allowed to stay here. The process didn't take too long, and the only hiccup was when I signed the document with my own pen, which had blue ink instead of black, this is frowned upon apparently, but luckily very easily fixable. I only missed twenty minutes of class which was nice, could have potentially been much more. Next I went to the finance office and managed to spend one hundred and seventeen euros, for my tickets to the opera. Hopefully now that most of the start up costs have been eliminated I will be able to live a little cheaper from week to week. I did a bit of budget planning tonight, and I'm thinking I can live comfortably on thirty euros a week. After my heartfelt goodbye to my money I walked home and went grocery shopping with Becca. And after a little hang out time, and a lunch of apple slices and peanut butter (practically spreadable gold over here) I headed back to class. The monster stairs were noticeably easier the second time around, which is encouraging news. Italian class was a bit of a sleeper today, only because we covered all the geographic regions and their capitals, and it was a rainy afternoon, the second half of class was more engaging and solidified the fact that I really enjoy my Italian professor. After class I walked home in the rain, which is much warmer this week as compared to the last. I can't decide if I blend in a little, or look extremely American. I have had five or six people stop and ask me for directions, so I must not look too touristy, but all the men on the street say 'beautiful, beautiful' to all the American girls including my roommates and I. It's a debate for the ages. This evening I booked both of my Hostels for spring break, and the total for two nights in Dublin and Glasgow each was only fifty four euro, very reasonable. I also got a chance to chat with my mother tonight; it was the first time I've felt a bit of homesickness. Leave it to a mother to bring that out in me. She helped me get here in more ways than I could possibly count, and organized and prepared in a way that only mothers can. I probably would not be here if it wasn't for that, so thanks mom :)I caught up with a few other people from back home, and thought about doing some homework, but now its already eleven o'clock. Time to shower and get ready for bed before talking to Stuart before sleep. I told you, not too terribly of an exciting day, tomorrow will include adventures, and maybe some picture posts for you guys, have a great day everybody !!
