Life in Roma

What a week its been! This past weekend I was in Umbria, only to come back and watch and absolutely fabulous football game. The Arizona Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Eagles on their way to the Superbowl. I was one of only about four cardinals fans in the entire bar but it was absolutely amazing! Couldn't have asked for a better way to watch the game than in an Irish Pub in Rome. We were out pretty late watching the game because of the time change but it was completely worth it. Now it is time to figure out where I am going to watch the Superbowl on Feb. 1st.

So even though the game was fantastic...all of the screaming at the television made me lose my voice! So, I've pretty much sounded funny for the last few days and the Italians look at the really strange. On Tuesday we went for a fabulous walk around Rome because it was gorgeous outside and actually warm and we didn't have class. And Tuesday evening we watched the presidential inauguration from Rome! It was really cool to sit in Rome with a bunch of college students and what such a historic event. To make Tuesday even better, I found out that I was accepted to Teach for America! It was very stressful waiting to hear and even more stressful that I am in Rome, but I am very relieved! Haven't made a decision yet, but I might be teaching elementary school in Phoenix next year!

Due to all of the momentous events of Tuesday, we had a delicious Italian dinner and celebrated the night away. It was a great night in the campo and we all had a fabulous time, barely making it to class this morning, but completely worth it! Tomorrow we are going to the Roman Forum and then off to Florence on Friday morning! Can't wait to see the David!
