Indeed, we do.
This week has been the first full week of real coursework, and HOMEWORK, for my five classes.
Five page theology papers? Check.
Literally more than one hundred pages of readings? Check.
History Journals? Check.
Italian Midterm? Check.
Yes, you read that last one right, a midterm in the middle of January. The reason is that Italian class is intensive, a.k.a. the wost thing ever -- could be considered a form of torture, and is complete on February 1st.
The cool thing about going to class in Rome, besides being in Rome, is that we aren't stuck in a classroom all day, everyday. For example, in my Roman History class we go on a site visit during every class. Last week we went to the Palatine Hill and this week we will climb the weirdest steps ever to get to the museum on top of the Capitoline Hill.This coming week in Theology we will have site visits on both Monday and Wednesday in the heart of the city.
This coming Tuesday, in English, we will be visiting the Non-Catholic cemetery in Rome where authors Shelley and Keats are buried. This is particularly exiting for me because I absolutely LOVE John Keats' poetry. Its amazing, unbelievable, and awesome. If you have time to read any of it, do it.
