Got up some unknown amount of hours ago in San Francisco, got on the plane to Toronto, sassed at passport control, bought a neck pillow, waited for four hours in the very SWANKY airport, and then got on the eight hour flight to ROME. The flight was long and I slept a little. I watched a movie (or six) and drooled on my neck pillow (very true).
Got my bags and waited for a seven person taxi for just little ol' me. I got nervous when I was trying to tell the taxi driver that I could wait for a smaller cabie so I just blurted out in English "It's just me!" and he was like, "thats okay... get in" :)
But I did give the address for my apartment correctly in Italian. Patted myself on the back for that.
Got to the apartment. Oh did I mention its HOT? its like 98 degrees today. No air conditioning. My apartment is on the 7th floor of a seven floor building. Eight girls all together. My roommates seen nice and two of them are from UCSC! The apartment is HUGE. Super funky. There's a balcony off every room! photos of the apartment tomorrow.
here are some photos from the past 24 hours
Thanks mom for snapping this photo at 6am. AND I'M OFF!
This is my face and glasses position as I sit next to three Dutch 6 year olds for four hours.
