Week 10: Roma, Bass and Classes

Last week flew by. I was able to play bass at a Girl's Night at my church which was so much fun. I've missed playing music so much. That night, my sister came to the church with me and loved it. I think she wants to come back again. I only have one more weekend with them and I'm playing again, but I think she'll come with me. That'll be fun. :)
I went over to Rebecca's a few times to keep her company and watch New Girl and just hang out. Friday we went to watch some live music briefly after the girls night and had a little dance party in her apartment afterwards. I started teaching Dessa how to dance. That was hilarious. Then boys came so we stopped. Dance lessons are better without boys.
Saturday we went to Rome. (We= everyone from my school; Dessa, Alyssa, Rachel, Aaron and I) It was awesome. We walked probably 20 hours over the two days we were there. So it was exhausting, but so fun. We got to see all the things. But most fun for me was the people. duh. I loved hearing all the Italian and other languages that are present in touristy places. I want to live in Italy someday, and learn Italian. That'll be my next language I think. They speak so beautifully. Their inflection kills me.
Everything went super well. Our hostal was great. Flights went well. I navigated us through the city with a paper map (so fun! I only took us the wrong way once.) The food was amazing. I had lasagna the first night which was the best lasagna of my life. Wow. The owner was precious and his brother came up to our table and started telling us that he was rich and single and we should get on top of that, it was hilarious.
Overall it was a great trip. We got back Monday night which meant only 3 days of classes this week. I finished my first Spanish book and had to give a presentation on it today. That was an experience. Everything is so much more chill here. At Cedarville there are always descriptions of exactly what is wanted in a project. For this one I was given a theme to talk about. It's so different.
Next week is finals and then after that London and home! Time has flown! All that to say I'm starting to get excited for home and think about what will be good and what will be hard to prepare myself. Thanksgiving is a good first meal to have back in America I think.

Sorry for the poor writing today. It's been a long short week. Lots to do = no time for siesta
