Well as I am nearing the end of the semester and finals are right around the corner I felt like I had so much to do in the past few days. This past weekend my friend Cathy (the one that is studying abroad in Dijon, France) came to Rome for the weekend. So I spent the weekend showing he all the sights of Rome. We went to Trevi, the Spanish steps, the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, Via Del Corso, and even made it to the Audrey Hepburn exhibit in the Ara Pacis museum. Not to mention going to the Angelus said by the Pope on Sunday. She had so much fun here and it was great to see her. But that wasn’t the only Pope action I had this week. Yes folks I had the chance to see the pope again this week. Dr. Prebys got tickets for all students who wanted to go to the Papal audience this past Wednesday. I went with two of my roommates and some of our friends. This might be one of my favorite things I have done since I’ve been abroad. At the Angelus the English speaking priest announced all the people who were present at this audience and my school was announced! It was incredible. I took a video and I am willing to relive this moment with whoever wants to see it if you don’t mind how shaky it is because my hands were shaking so bad. After the audience Lindsey, Alex, and I ended up taking pictures with a member of the Swiss Guard and talked to him for a little bit. That is 3 things that I can officially check off my bucket list for life. And now that I am at the end of my semester I am currently sitting in my room taking a short break from studying for my 5 finals that start on Saturday and continue until Tuesday. But after Tuesday I am free for 2 days in Roma to live out to the fullest!!!!!!
ciao bella!!
