It's ridiculously hot out right now. The weather is supposed to break within the next few days, but that can't happen soon enough. No wonder everyone takes a siesta in the afternoon.
Yesterday was a lot of fun. I had 4 hours in between classes, so I went over to the Colosseum. I don't think I'll ever stop being amazed by that monument. It is so impressive it takes your breath away. Since I'm such a classics fanatic, I ended up staying there for 2.5 hours. The people I went with all got bored and left, but I just sat looking and staring. I'll put pictures up as soon as I get the chance, I took about 100, haha. The thing that really proves my nerdiness was discovered yesterday. I'm in Italy surrounded by all of this beautiful leather and clothing, and the thing that I want to buy most is an original denari. It's a coin from the Roman Empire with a picture of the emperor. There are a few in the bookstore at the Colosseum and they are so cool. Laugh at me if you want, I kind of laughed at myself for it.
On my way back to school, I stopped at the Pantheon and hung out there for awhile. I love living here; there's just so much to see!
Today is pretty lazy: had to get my resident's pass(which took forever!) and do some other errands. Going to the Vatican tonight for the first time :-)
Buona sera!
