I've got... the Holy Spirit!

Today has been a disappointment. I woke up freakishly early hoping to get into Rome for mass at one of the basilicas. I did get a nice hot shower (the first one!), but the bus never arrived! By the time that I got to the bus stop, there was already a large group who had been waiting for two hours. We eventually decided that we were just going to go to mass on campus, eat brunch & then try again. By the time that we got out there afterwards, there was a group of about 50 UD students waiting there…and buses had yet to arrive. At least one must have come by, but all of the others completely passed by the stop. Most were stuffed with people, even standing in the aisle, so they could not stop anyway. A bunch of people decided to go to Albano, but the buses decided not to come for that route either. Some of us decided not to walk there because it’s about 2 miles away, uphill, and the road does not always have a shoulder on which to walk. Finally a bus came for Castelgondolfo, and half of our group jumped on. Sarah Anne & I thought we wouldn’t have made it, so we didn’t go. We were really bummed, especially since it turns out that we probably would have made it anyway. We stuck around the bus stop for a little while longer, but we just decided that it was too much trouble to wait any longer. Sarah Anne is taking a nap on my bed, since she’s locked out of her room. Hopefully, this day will get better soon!


OK…later update.
Naps help to make everything better! After we woke up, we watched the Italian Job. We thought it would be fitting. Sarah Anne had never seen it, and she really enjoyed it. Afterwards listened to crazy oldies & danced around the room. Considering the lack of insulation in this place, I am sure that everyone in the building could have heard us dancing the chicken dance. Oh, was it fun!! Lol.
Tomorrow is the first day of classes starting at 8am. Bleh! I am not looking foreword to it! Wouldn’t it be nice if I could just live here for a while without actually having to work? Haha.
