first day!

ROMA!!!!

We finally arrived. After many confusing endeavors, we are here in one piece!

Loyola's Rome Center couldn't be any smaller. Honestly, we walked around it in one minute. I swear that is not an exaggeration! Basically, everything is in one building. The dorms, the classes, the dining area, lounge, gym, and even the chapel...seriously, everything. I guess it's nice but I think it will be easy to get stuck in this tiny, Americanized community. I can't wait to explore. The next couple days are going to be really busy unfortunately. We already have a trip. Tomorrow, all the students are going to Asissi *the town where St. Francis and St. Claire grew up*. It's about three hours away. It kind of sucks because most of us are extremely tired and definitely jetlagged. I'm shooting for an early bedtime. Wahoo.

In the next few days, we should have some pictures--give a little visuals. I've been video taping the sites that interest me. Especially, the orange trees outside!!! Heck yes. It's basically a paradise and we can't wait to see more!

It's definitely a culture shock that's for sure (I'll write about it later..Too Tired)!
