Every Friday for class we tour a different significant site in Rome with one of our teachers as a tour guide. This past friday we toured the ancient Roman forum and the colosseum.In the ancient forum, we walked the same streets as thousands of Romans before us. We saw arches that were built for returning soliders to march through, and we visited the site where Julius Casesar's body was burned.
The last photo is in front of the ancient forum, while the picture if the archway is the one I was describing for soldiers to pass though when returning from a victorious battle.
This coming week is our first true week of classes and having a full schedule here in Rome. Today (Monday) there is no school because it's still a holiday from Easter. Tomorrow however, we start our internships before class. Our students were split into two groups, and my group will start interning at a
marketplace tomorrow morning. We'll be interning with other Italian students our age which I'm really looking forward to! It should really help in our speaking ability. From now on, Monday through Wednesday, we'll be interning and in classes from 9 am to 5 pm!Thursdays are cultural days, where one of our professors lectures about a specific historic event or place in Rome, and then Friday we go tour the place we just learned about.
Right now I'm just working on some homework and having a semi low key day since tomorrow is our first full scheduled day.Ciao a tutti!
te amo,
Julie
