Today my schoolwork finally caught up
with me and I enjoyed the better part of the day through the library
windows. I came to Rome to study, but somehow writing a two page
reflection paper seems like the most daunting task of my life. As it started to get dark and I was having a hard time focusing on
work with an empty stomach. I decided to head out on a walk before
mensa with my friend Teresa. We walked to a secluded park called the
Zodiac about 15 minutes from campus. We managed to catch a stunning view of
Rome just as the sun was setting. We had an amazing time catching up
on the last few months (Teresa is a full year), reflecting on our
adventures so far, and all the epic life-talk conversations that
result from having a friend studying theology, and whose father is a
philosophy professor at the University of Chicago. It was a wonderful
evening with views I won't soon forget.
