Rome was amazing! I had an absolutely gorgeous time there. Matt, Jessica and I left the Soirée International last Tuesday night with another student, Annie, after M. Melin made some remarks. Luckily, Annie knew some short cuts and we got to the gare (train station) earlier than expected. And Matt, Jess and I really lucked out. Because at first, we were planning on just going to a bar and having a nuit blanche (all-nighter) since we really didn't want a pay for a place to stay since we had to be up at 5 a.m. anyways to catch the bus. We didn't really mind staying up all night but we were not really sure what we were going to do with our bags. But it turned out that Annie and another student, Laura, was going to stay in a hotel in Paris with Laura's mother, who works for an airline. And Laura's mom said it was fine if we put our stuff in their room! :) Laura's mom was concerned about us not catching much sleep (if any at all) and said that if we wanted to, we could sleep on the floor in her room (the hotel was nice but the room was a bit small). We thanked her but decided that a nuit blanche was probably the best way to go in our current situation.
So after we put our stuff in and thanked Laura's Mom again, the 5 of us went out and looked for Laura's friend Jimmy, who was supposed to be in the area. After a while, Laura eventually found him and he was with the girl he was sharing his room with in the hostel they were staying at. So that was neat to meet them.
I hate to say it but I should end this post now. Sorry how you only got a short whiff of my vacation but I'll definitely finish the rest of it as soon as I can haha. I have to wake up in a little more than 7 hours for my first day of my actual trimester at l'UCO. Should be fun~sure to meet lots of new people and learn a lot! I'll try to blog again soon!
Bonne nuit!
Vince :)
