Rome is HOT!

Today has been so hot, the air feels like its suffocating me. Not sure how bad I smell right now, but I have a feeling I fit right it. Last night we made our first dinner of gnocchi, zucchini and marinara sauce. The parmesean cheese is the freshest I have ever tasted in my life. Dinner was amazing, and making it ourselves made us feel like we are really at home. We spent the rest of the night brushing up on our Italian. I have to say, I feel pretty defeated by the language. Hopefully I catch on soon. Before we knew it it was 2am and we were wide awake practicing...the jet lag really got to us this time. So, needless to say, we woke up this morning around noon and quickly got our cappuccinos and pasteries at the Piazza del Poppolo. It started raining, which was actually nice since it was just so hot. We found our school today, so we wouldnt get lost tomorrow before class. I really cant believe I am starting class again. We walked around some more, and saw more sights. It was a nice day, and we are off soon to make another dinner together. I have to say, the food is probably my favorite part of Rome...or one of. There is nothing better than Nutella gellatto or a fresh margherrita pizza. The water around this city is also incredible. At any given location, you will find some random spicket with cold, fresh water pouring out. Its very nice for a hot day like today. Anyway, I will write again tomorrow to keep you all posted on our first day of school!! Ciao for now!
