Day Two!

Hello!
Just wanted to jot down a little something, so my blog would stop looking so empty! Today was my second day here in Italy, and everything has been going wonderfully! The flight over here was, of course, long, but it was nice. I didn't get much sleep, but neither did anyone else. Somehow it makes it all better when we are all zombied out together... Everyone was falling asleep during the opening mass & convocation.
Today was a day full of meetings as we get to know campus and how things run. We were going to take a trip into Albano (the nearby town) for gelato, but inclment weather cancelled those plans. A bunch of people took the bus in anyway. We walked around the main street a bit, attempting to acclimated ourselves to the sights, sounds & crazy Italian driving! :D A bunch of us watched Roman Holiday tonight, but sadly we realized that the chances of meeting Gregory Peck on the streets of Rome are pretty slim. Alas.
Tomorrow promises to be a very full day, for we are getting up at 6:30am for mass in St. Peter's and our first outing in Rome. It's going to be one full day of walking tours! Hopefully I'll have enough energy afterwards to write & maybe post some pictures.

Good Night!
