Today I had to get up at 7:00 to get ready for class. I had my philosophy class at 8 and it was a killer getting to class. The best thing was that everyone else in class was just as tired as I was. Class actually went pretty fast. After class Alex, Lindsey, and I all went back to the room where Caitlin was already sleeping and fell asleep for a few more hours. Alex and I got up at 12 and went to get lunch and to read in the library. Well Alex had to do some reading for her history class and I got on the computer. After I was don’t on the computer Alex told me I should go and talk to Miss McHugh about my suitcases not being here yet. I went up to her office and started to tell her about how they still weren’t here. She went online and got the numbers for both United and Continental airlines at Leonardo da Vinci airport in Italy gave them to me and told me to take them to the man at the desk and have him call in front of me. By this point I was a mess. Crying because I couldn’t keep it in any longer, frustrated with the airlines because I wanted my stuff, and just upset because there was nothing I could do about it. So I took the numbers to the man at the desk and he called but there was no luck. The number once again went nowhere and we couldn’t find out any information about anything from them. So I went back to Miss McHugh’s office and told her that nothing was different and we went to talk to Dr. Prebys about it. Dr. Prebys got right down to work on trying to do whatever she could do to find my bags. Unfortunately I had to go to class so I had to wait until 5:30 to see if she found out anything. When I got back there after class Dr. Prebys said nothing was different. She said that she got a list of numbers that she had been calling and they found no record of my bags being in Europe at all. She told me to tell my dad to call united and demand money for me to buy some new things and to say that I was missing medication, clothes, school supplies and anything else he could think of so they would give us more money. She also said if my dad could see if my bags were in Newark and if they were to demand that they were to be sent here over night. I was so frustrated about all of this at dinner. I kept having people asking me if my stuff had arrived yet and I had to retell what had happened all day today to them. After dinner Alex and I decided to go for a walk. We ended up wondering all over the street that our hotel was on. We found Campo de Fiori, Piazza de Francese, and some old ruins. We also found a really cheap place to eat that we might go to this weekend. When we got home Alex looked at her facebook and my dad had sent her a message that said that they found my suitcases and that they were in Rome! I was so excited that I had to get online and see if I had any more information from my dad. He wrote that they were in Rom eon my wall and sent me an email with the new luggage tag numbers so I would have them for confirmation. I was so excited. I also got to skype one of my best friends at Saint Mary’s tonight. It was so fantastic to get to talk to Emily, even if it was just for a little bit. When I got off skype we got a phone call in our room and all of my roommates freaked out that it might have been my suitcases. When one of them answered and found out that it was for me I was so excited. When I got the phone I didn’t recognize that it was my mom on the phone. I had so much excitement that I didn’t even recognize my own mom’s voice. The first thing my mom said was that my suitcases were in Rome and that they would be delivered tomorrow! I’m so excited right now that I don’t think I can sleep. I can’t wait to have all of my stuff! Well that’s all for now! Hopefully good news tomorrow!
Ciao bella!
