yeahhhh... so i've been slacking on the updates...
basically, to break it down: Rome is absolutely incredible. I read somewhere that the best thing you can learn from the Roman people is their ability to enjoy the beauty of life... ok cheesy, but life here really is beautiful. La vita e bella. I love getting lost on random side streets and wandering into coffee shops and gelaterias... there is so much to do, I'm already kind of stressing about not having enough time to do it all, but by stressing i mean I'm just trying to enjoy the moments for what they are. the secret to life is for sure enjoying the passing of time - yay for the james taylor song from my bat miztvah video. but it's true. it's always true. no matter how good... or how bad... this too shall pass.
it's very hard to be here with all the turmoil going on at home in new orleans. seriously, it's so weird to feel so disconnected and be watching life in parts of america completely fall apart... i've been watching video clips on cnn.com every day... it's beyond words. it's frustrating... it's infuriating... and it's heart breaking...
today is my first day of classes... but not until 6 pm. i'm off to explore the roman ruins...
more soon... linds

Don't you love the impact a little nagging can have? Because I do. Missing and loving you, L.Ro!
