It's been a while...

Alright Mom, I get the hint, I had better start writing ;)

Rome is great! I'm going into my third week here, and my second week of classes.

I won't will talk about class much, it's really no different than home. That is due to the fact that my university is accredited in the U.S. It's not an Italian school, but a branch of a U.S. based school. It is really tiny, but I love it. It reminds me of Grove City which makes the transition really easy, except the professors all seem to REALLY enjoy their jobs. As my business law prof. explained, most of the professors in the business department have already made money, and are only teaching in Rome now because they ENJOY it (he wasn't sure if they were any good though, haha).

Now, I don't know how accurate his comment was (as I do not personally have access to my professors financial situations...) but I will gladly take his word for it. It is incredibly easy to tell that all of my professors love their jobs. Each one is particularly enthusiastic about their jobs, non of my classes leave me sleeping. And don't get me wrong, it's not the class... I'm taking Business Law, Macroeconomics, and Principles of Marketing... it is definitely the professors!

However, since it is not much different from Grove City, it does mean that I have to WORK this semester. There will be no slacking off in Europe for me! Which, in a way is severely disappointing, but in another it is very good. After this semester I will need to (hopefully) work at an internship, and then I'll be moving in to SENIOR year, it will be good not to slow down on academics while I'm here. I'll just need to get better about budgeting my time and planning ahead :)


Anyways, I promise the boring "school stuff" is over now... I'll post on my weekend next :
