Today has been quite a hectic day. I do not have any photos to post up yet but I will probably start photographing tomorrow. The above image was taken by Brad and this is the view outside of our balcony Brad Horton and I left DTW at 7:45pm and arrived in Rome at 11am. When we boarded the plane we had to sign off some health forms about the swine flu. I only slept at most 30 minutes on the flight. I had 2 meals (dinner and breakfast) and free beer :), can't pass up that opportunity on an international flight. During the flight I was able to catch up on movies. I watched I Love You Man, and Yes Man. Both i thought were pretty good. especially because the screen was right in front of me and i could choose from about 15 different movies to watch.
About 5 minutes after we get off the plane, Brad realizes he doesn't have his passport... uh oh! I had mine but him and I sat in the customs office for what seemed like an eternity and luckily they found it. However once that was cleared up we didn't have our luggage which at this point Brad and I were frustrated because we can't speak any italian...and by talking to other people, loosing luggage in Rome is pretty common. PEACHY!
I met a bunch of people that go to MSU so that was nice. Brad and I have 3 other roommates that are from Cali in our apartment that is really nice. We have 2 bathrooms, 2 big bedrooms, kitchen that is fully stocked with utensils fridge, oven and , washing machine, a common room, and a nice balcony, just no AC...hopefully we will get used to it.
After checking into our rooms Brad and I went walking down to find John Cabot which really is not all that big. Tomorrow we start our orientation so hopefully we will have a much easier time tomorrow. For now though I am going to get some sleep. its only 9pm over here but i have been up for over 35+ hours. ta ta for now.
