The Trevi fountain, who knew there would be no people my age there to flyer too?  At least the fountain takes the sting out of getting no comission

Another beautiful day in Rome just sitting outside campo eating gelato

Day one of Photo Challenge, April 1st 2011

So I took this photo as I walked to work today since there was a massive transportation strike.  Today is the first day that I feel like Spring has arrived!  And it makes me so happy!  Plus I love the cherry blosoms

I'm Back

I am back after months of neglect.  I am super busy with work and school but I have decided to take on the 365 day photography challenge because really I live in Rome and travel so I should, theoretically, have some awesome pictures.  So starting today, April 1, 2011 you will get to see one picture a day from me.  Hopefully they won't be boring or repetitive.  So I will be back later today with a picture.  Enjoy!

Back to School Back to School So Daddy Won't Think I'm a Fool

         So it looks like I am going back to school to get another BA.  I am actually in the process of applying right now or rather I should be.  I should be writing my essays but instead I am taking advantage of the internet at the bar across the street.  I think I am going to major in art business so i'll be taking classes like art gallery management and such.  It should be interesting and it should tie in well with my other degree.  Its kinda weird applying for college again and so much nicer this time around.  I don't have to take SATs or ACTs and I just have to fill out a simple form and write two essays.  One will be pretty damn easy since its about my passions in life.  I am going to write about traveling of course and that will tie in easily with going to a university in Rome so no worries there.  The other one is about what I hope to get out of a university experience but since I already went to a university that one should be interesting to write.  I already have experience.  Maybe i'll just compare and contrast them who knows?  I just need to have them written by sunday.  I didn't think I would actually go through with it but now that I am doing it I am pretty excited. 

        I am excited because that means at least another year and a half in Rome too.  I am absolutely loving fall here.  Today is absolutely gorgeous, sunny and warm and then other days its rainy and cold and its quintessential fall weather.  The rain is so nice in the city, it washes everything away and makes the city clean and new again.  Plus italian food works much better with colder weather especially with all the heavy pasta dishes.  When it was warm you could never order pasta it was waaayyyy too hot but now its perfect.  I am using the weather as my excuse to eat as much pasta as I want.
