Buona Pasqua

Buona Pasqua everyone! Today I saw the Pope, again. I went to Easter mass at the Vatican, NBD. And although, I don't think church services are for me, my first (and probably last) Easter mass was pretty epic. It's just so slow going, and in Latin, and you have to stand and sit down and stand and sit down-- it's exhausting. But totally worth it. Now that's what I call a once in a life time experience. Afterwards, the group I was in went and got maybe the best pizza I've had all trip! It was fantastic, but we were also starving so that might have helped.

Last night it was one of my friend's birthday so we went over to his apartment and later went out to a pub. There are a stupid amount of Irish pubs in Italy. I had a Guinness because after the program is over I am going to Ireland for almost two weeks. I'm very excited, but I also don't want to look lame, so I've decided to take the time to aquire a taste for Guinness. And, actually, it's not even that bad. I'm so ready for Ireland. (Not that the next 8 weeks aren't gunna be crazy cool too!)

A few days ago I had a nightmare that as I was leaving all I could think was, I need one more week! I haven't done everything! It was a stressful dream, because that's kind of how I feel. We are officially into week three and in less then three weeks we will leave Rome. Tomorrow we don't have school. Time to grab Rome by the balls.
