life on via portuense

this is what nat has written down so far

sooo i have now been in rome for about a week and a half and i am still LOVING it. probably still in honeymoon stage or whatever but i dont care. its been awesome. so let me think..the night after we went to scholars we went to the drunken ship and then some club (shari vari maybe). very very hazy night. met kladji kladji ro and hes soe ffing annoying and wont stop calling and texting. louise made out w a prince. drunken ship was very fun but we got way too drunk. hung out with liza and stacy which was awesome!!! ok and then on thursday we all walked around the city and saw the cat sanctuary and the pantheon and the trevi and the wedding cake. then thursday night we went to the drunken ship and our friends kate/cat were there. theyre awesome and very similar to us !! friday night we went to g bar and drunken ship (g bar not fun...so tiny and crowded like worse than ma's). drunken ship was fun per usual. erion was there <3333 he loves us. saturday we woke up and had to go to the welcome bbq at school. they had BURGERS. it was heavenly. we met some cool dudes who also go to aur. one is from boston and the people he name dropped were cal scan and scott bail  lolol how random. saturday night we pregamed at maros's guy friend from indianas apartment. maros and her friend are very cool it was awesome hanging w them. then we went to sloppy sams then drunken ship but when we got to drunken ship i felt kladji grab my arm so we had to run and escape. went back to sloppy sams where we found lorenzo vincenzo and alessandro !! then we had the best night of our entire lives..it was straight out of a movie. they drove us (in their red mini cooper) to an authentic roman club (i think we were the only american people there) and it was a disco like out of a movie. you cant even talk cuz the music is so looud..you just dance. then we went into the more open area and smoked cigars. then they wamted to show us their favorite late night eating place so they took us to a croissant shop inside of like a factory (at this point its like 430 am). then they showed us their favorite view of the vatican. they drove us up this huge hill and then we got out of the car and they brough us over to this keyhole in a wall that when you look through it, you can perfectly see the vatican. it was unreal. then they drove us home and we got home at like 5 am. it was so much fun and such an un-american experience. sunday me jamie and nat went to the flea market thats right outside me and nats apartment. it was cute and big but SO LOUD. im hoping it was just a "last sunday of the month" thing and not a "sunday" thing. then we went on a walk to school to make sure we had the route down. we took some really cute pix and walked all over. we eventually made our way into the heart of trastevere, where all of the cute picturesque restaurants are. oh and i finally found the cutest pair of booties!!! we sat down for drinks at a random bar while we waited for lou and kate to meet us. they gave us a bottle of wine and a plate of olives..lol random. then we went to tonys and had the most AMAZING dinner (even though they gave us red wine instead of white). i got spaghetti and jamie got chix parm and we went halfsies. chicken parm is not even an italian dish but they make it there because its a very americanized place. we ate so much and were soooo satisfied. then we went home and tried to fall asleep. monday we started classes...but we ended up only going to 2 because we switched our schedules around. we found a bagel place!!! omg its amazing. its owned by a guy from new york so the bagels are legit. classes were fine but it was pouring rain and pretty chilly. nat and i bought notebooks on our way home and then cooked din (spaghetti and peas again lol). 

went to scholars last night. very american very fun. sang roses w riley lol. so great to see luke. woke up this morn laying on top of my blow dryer. nat and i got breakfast (lunch) at cafe antico (i think) and got really good sandwiches and "cafe americano". then we ventured to wind mobile and got italian phones!!!!! tricked them out w jewels (they look sick) and now dont feel totally vulnerable without wifi. roomies 5 and 6 got here today and they both seem nice. we got din at pizza boom and made friends w the guy who works there (sayeed? sayid? idk) and he wants to teach us one italian word every day in exchange for us teaching him one english word every day. hanging w nat now in our apt waiting for kate lou jam to get here and then gonna go to the drunken ship and im gonna see liza and stacy !!!!!!
