Hey kids,

Sorry for the lack of posts. Horror of horrors: the internet in my apartment died, so I have had absolutely no connection to the outside world. It's quite the tragedy. We complained to The Man today so hopefully it will be fixed tomorrow. At the moment the honorable Mike Reis is letting me use his computer. When he first came to my apartment, he was really bitter about how nice it was... well, now that I'm at his apartment, I see why. Mine might literally be five times bigger than his, and we only have one more flatmate than they do. Craaazy.

Anyway, the short and long of my life is: I went to the opera [details later], I'm taking Italian and it kind of sucks, aaaaand I'm exhausted. But I'm in Rome, and I had the best gelato of my life today, so sto bene [I'm good].

Arrivederci!
