Gelato will make me fat

Heyyy
So it's about noon here and I just got done with my first two actual classes. I had a history class about the Jews of Rome and then a Renaissance Art History class. I really liked both of them. The professors both seem really cool and knowledgeable. I'm hoping to get out of the Jews of Rome class and get into another art history class because i need it for my major. I'm on a waiting list so we'll see.

Things are going well. We never ended up going to Spain this weekend like we hoped for. We just didn't have enough time to plan out all of the details. Instead we spent the weekend wandering around Rome. We planned to tour some important places that we have yet to see like The Vatican and the Sistine chapel, however we ended up wandering around and not finding much of anything. All of the girls were festively dressed for Valentines Day on Saturday for our excursion. My roommate Anndel was my valentine and we decided to celebrate our love by making mimosas and wandering the streets of Rome, drinking out of an orange juice box.... because we're classy. We went out Friday and Saturday. Saturday was a BUST me and Anndel got separated from the group because we were trying to meet up with some people in Testacchio and go to this club. We had no idea how to get there. So one of the girls we were originally with asked a cab driver how to get there. Long story short we took a sketchy metro to a place where we had never been before. No one could tell us where we were. We ended up deciding to take a cab to the club. Along the way we turn the corner (5 minutes and 15 euro into the cab ride) and BOOM right in front of us is the Colosseum (where we started). We did a full circle and practically ended up back at our apartment. Needless to say we called it a night right then and there and were in bed by 12:30. Saturday was fun. We went to this place that everyone calls "cheap bar" because you can get a GRANDE perino beer for 2.50£.

So I booked a trip through this site: Euroadventures. Next weekend I'm going to Switzerland!! A whole bunch of us from IES are going and we're going canyon jumping!! Watch the video on youtube it's pretty nuts. I'm really excited for the trip even though it's supposed to be 20 degrees and snowing :( I'm so glad I didn't bring any of my winter gear... I went to a flea market yesterday and bought this heinous 10£ coat that I'm sure will be completely ineffective. I also don't have snow friendly shoes but I'm thinking I'll figure it out before I go. I pray that they will have coffee in Switzerland because I'm going through withdraw!!

tata for now!!
Ciao
