    Fri­day August 28th, 2009 Fri­day started out calmly, with a few hours of Ital­ian class and then some gro­cery shop­ping before an exten­sive nap to try and make up for the lack of sleep. When I woke up, a group of us were going to travel down to the Tiber river again for a night out. 4 of them got quite […]

    Wednes­day, August 26th, 2009: My flight, which was also home to around 9 other stu­dents from our pro­gram, arrived at FCO pre­cisely on sched­ule at 8:07am CEST.

    I haven’t got­ten much sleep lately. I got 4 hours of sleep before wak­ing up at 2am PDT for the 6am flight. I can’t really sleep on planes, so when we got to Rome at 8:20am, I was already pretty gone. Then we were up all day get­ting all orga­nized and set­tled into the Rome Cen­ter and our apartments.

    In the midst of focus­ing on the elec­tion results I noticed a tweet via the Seattle-PI’s web­site that there a body was found next to a park­ing garage which had some sort of fire in the U-District.

    I’ve come to the real­iza­tion that I am way behind on life today. My case: 1) Work­ing 30 hours a week. Which in itself is not out par­tic­u­lary bad, but.… 2) Read­ing roughly 1000 pages of 8.5“x11” pages regard­ing EU and Ital­ian Law, and another book regard­ing immi­gra­tion law. 3) Tak­ing a week off of these two above tasks to go […]
