YESTERDAY: After my time in the air, which started from San Antonio, then to Austin, then to Detroit, then to Amsterdam, then to Rome, I was more than glad to finally arrive. I finally made it. To ROME! For someone that has low expectations and doesn't necessarily expect disappointment, but doesn't expect satisfaction either, it was a decent beginning. Once I looked past me getting lost in the airport and then the initial awkwardness of meeting new roommates (they're nice, let me put that out there), I felt the peace I so desperately needed. Due to my roommates' insistence, I participated in the neighborhood walk which is essentially a bunch of students walking around the area and seeing a bunch of different sights. Chilling in the back, I was mentally in my own world taking pictures and having other students talk to me because I absolutely suck at making new friends and meeting new people. Whoever says otherwise are LYING, but it worked just fine because I met some people that I have classes with.
TODAY: Today, my left foot is bruised to the point where I have to walk on my heels. Essentially, today we had our mandatory orientation session where he basically said that Italians have their "not-so-nice" impressions of us and that if we don't register to get our permit to stay, then we're illegal. Met FIT fashion-heavy students which I knew right away because they looked really good, and then I roamed in Rome lol. I was dying when I first said that, but I've just been exploring today. Found a bookstore and bought a book (almost got myself a job there), saw the Colosseum which is so pretty and big in person, crossed rivers, found the train station for my future trips, and ate 2 Euros pizza. Today was a success, and now I'm lying in bed about to dive into this book and remain unbothered.
TOMORROW: My call time is 8:30am. Super duper early, but totally worth it since I'll be participating in a student film. And on top of that, I have to dress like it's summer so perfect excuse to rock out the short sleeves and shorts. I'm just ready to start doing the things that I know I'm going to love like acting, creative writing, shooting, and filmmaking. The epitome of theater kid energy, what can I say? Anyways, classes start on Monday so fingers crossed that I'll be able to survive in them, but it's not like I have a choice.
