(Long Overdue) Italy Observations

I wrote the original outline for this post over the Atlantic, but I didn’t find the time to actually complete it until now. Two months later. This is just a bunch of assorted things I found interesting, intriguing, or just plain weird about Italy. Cats. Cats were very much fed and cared for by the […]

Rome Update #8 (Final)

Final week! Unfortunately this post will not be very exciting as most of what happened was school-related. Monday, September 21st, 2009 So begins the last day of classes. In the morning we visited the “Supreme Court” for Italy. Supreme court is in quotes because we actually visited the last appellate court, which does *not* consider […]

Rome Update #7

Monday, September 14th, 2009 This was the first class with Professor Lovell, who is a pretty neat guy that has a snarky sense of humor, a love of all things Supreme Court, and vaguely looks like me. After class was our first interview for the group project. After class we talked with an Italian blogger […]

Rome Update #6

Thursday, September 10th, 2009 The day before our Florence trip, and possible trip to Venice, so after class Rachel and I went to the library to try and figure out where we were going to stay. A big group of students in our group were going to stay in a duplex that was registered to […]

Rome Update #5

Sunday, September 6th, 2009 Dom, Rain, Rachel and I had originally planned go to a market on the other side of the river, leaving at 7:30am. I was exhausted and quite sunburned, so I already decided not to go when they woke me up at 10:30 (three hours later than planned) and asked if I […]

Rome Update #4

Wednesday, Septemer 2nd, 2009 After the usual class with Professor Walsh, I then worked on my Italian homework, which was to translate a biography of an individual our group is interviewing, and then to find out how to get to the interview location. After successfully finding it without too much trouble (it is near the […]

Rome Update #3

Monday, August 31st, 2009. The first day of class! We had a two hour session with Professor Walsh of the UW Law School and his course on civil rights and protections within the EU. After this we had an hour of Italian before being released for the day. Rumurs were flying around that Julia Roberts […]

Rome Update #2 & New Picture Set

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 […]

Rome Update and Pictures

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 […]
