Ever since I took Italian in high school I knew I wanted to come see Italy. Now that I am here I’m thinking America sucks. Italy has so much culture and old buildings back in from the 1300s while America just has buildings. The romans took so much time with their buildings it makes sense that a lot of the buildings stayed until today. I have had a lot of memories just being in Rome. I feel like whenever I walk by every Italian, French, etc. is just calling us dumb Americans because we don’t know what we are doing or where we are going. Then I think if they came to America would they know what they are supposed to be doing. I loved going to Sapienza because I really wanted to study abroad there. It was eye opening to learn that when it is exam time they don’t have to take it right away, they can take it in two years. It is also interesting because they can’t fail a course either, they just have to retake the exam for a higher grade.
The food here has been excellent every place I went to I have been satisfied. I have not tried any pasta yet because the pizza is so good I just want more every time dinner comes. I’ve never encountered, unless being in a big city the hosts standing outside and luring people in to come eat. It is sort of a good tactic by being a flirt but also really annoying and it drains because it’s the same thing. That is my short experience from being in Rome.
