Week 9!

This week/weekend is for obvious reasons a little less eventful than last weekend; however, the down time allowed me to catch up with work (WFP), school work (internship academic credit), and miscellaneous applications. The work week felt a bit long, maybe it was the 95 degree weather/100% humidity, or the traffic. Oh well, every week can't be too exciting can it? Anyway, it's tough to believe I've been here for two months already…the time has flown by and I am sure this next month will as well. Franco and I are "holding down the fort" in Rome, without Chris, as she doesn't come back from the States for another week and a half. Well, some highlights from my week include:

• I read Wendy Kopp's "One Day, All Children…" which the story of Teach for America and her vision for education equality in America. It is pretty remarkable that her senior thesis at Princeton (TFA) turned out to be such a successful organization.
• Traffic: Thursday, I was stuck in traffic for about 45 minutes on the Flaminio (a two-way road to get to C+F's). I figured that the delay was due to an accident, but when I got to Morlupo, I came to realize that it was just congestion… go figure!
• Franco + My Cooking: Surprisingly good!
• I took the train home on Wednesday, because my ride had to work late. The Met.Ro (get it? Metro Roma?) was so crowded with tourists (I assume, because it normally is not crowded), that the metro would pass stations, because the cars were completely full. Crazy!

Have a good weekend/next week! Ciao ragazzi!
