Sono Malata :[

I am sick...I got sick Monday night/Tuesday morning. It was first a sore throat and I couldn't really talk and now it is full on congestion of the head. Some cold or really bad sinus stuff. The weather here is worse than the states. It has rained almost everyday and is hot and muggy in the afternoon but really cold at night. I hate the weather right now! I am not the only one sick though. Actually a lot of people out of the group are getting sick. The funny thing is some of us have different symptoms, so I guess a lot of different things are going around. But no Italian class for me today.

This past weekend was really fun: explored areas, watched a soccer game at a pub/restaurant, went shopping, and went to a discoteca! I had a busy weekend. The highlights were the discoteca and the soccer game. The discoteca was fun but nothing spectacular. Danced the majority of the time with friends. Also basically all of the DePaul group was there and we all danced and talked with each other (little groups had formed at the beginning of the trip). Now we all sort of hang out and talk, its cool. Didn't meet any Italians but I will! On Sunday I went to this German pub/restaurant near where I live with 4 other girls. We had the giantburger, fries, split onion rings, dessert and watched the Roma soccer game. The giantburger was probably the best piece of meat I have ever eaten. Yes it was just a huge piece of meat. It was so fun watching the game too because this was a local place and whenever something happened with Rome or if they scored there would be clapping and screaming. It was really cool.

This weekend is our first DePaul trip. We are going to Cinque Terre, which is an area with 5 small towns right next to each other by the sea. It is supposed to be so beautiful! Then we are going to Torino. I'm really excited but I hope I will get better by the time we leave early Saturday morning.

I have also been planning my trips. Got everything basically planned out except for hostels in Paris and Prague. Also, me and some people are going to a Rome soccer game most likely the 1st week of November! I am sooooo excited!!! Also, I think I am going to EuroChocolate 2009 in Perugia, Italy with a few girls. It's a huge chocolate festival, yummy!

Ciao! Ci parliamo presto!
