Saturday 1.17

The lessons continue.  After last night's club experience, I am minus one purse, one cell phone, credit cards, 150 e, one drivers license, and one school ID.  I guess what people tell you is true, and purse stealing is an epidemic here, so I'll have to be extra careful from now on.  

I did not end up going to Naples and Sorrento with the girls as a result, so I have a nice relaxing weekend here to get my life together before classes start.  Weather is pleasant today, and a quiet apartment is suitable for kicking back, reading, making a good meal, who knows what else.  The strange thing about Rome is that I don't seem to notice the difference between weekends and weekdays in terms of the amount of people I see and the places I go.  There is always stuff going on here no matter what day or time of day it is, so I don't think I will ever get bored, but getting your purse stolen is enough to want to be bored for a few days.
