Internet only in hotels-last days in rome, first few in florence

Ok, so again this is going to be a short post because once again i'm writing from inside the hotel that our apartments are connected to and i only have 19% left on my battery and forgot to bring my adapter so i'll try to keep it brief.  So we had a last few nights in rome which were fun.  We went and saw pompeii except it was raining the ENTIRE TIME.  Of course, me being the smart one i am forgot an umbrella and since my mom's old school rain jacket from the 80s has no hood i was pretty much drenched (everyone else was too)- it basically started hailing while we were exploring pompeii.  That night i went out to get gelato with my roommates and walk around rome.  We saw the trevi fountain which was really spectacular and walked down the spanish steps.  The next day we went to vatican city and saw everything.  The artwork and pretty much everything in there was amazing.  There were a lot of pigeons though so i was happy that we could go inside (i'm not sure what i'm going to do when i travel to venice).  We went out that night to campo dei fiori ( an american bar spot) but it was a lot of fun.  I'm running on not that much sleep though.  The next day we packed our bags for florence and pretty much spent the entire day on buses and getting settled into our apartment.  It was incredibly inefficient but i guess i just have to get used to the italian lifestyle (slow and relaxed).  Our apartment is so nice.  It's huge! It's like a maze trying to navigate the rooms and i lucked out with the largest room.  I have so much space that i do not know what i'm going to do with but it's nice to finally have some room and to unpack.  Today we had to wake up early to sit at an orientation near the school which is really close.  I was literally the only one in the program who is taking any sort of advanced italian class so i had to take a placement test and then i just walked back to the apartment by myself.  On the way i stopped in a pharmacy to get some facewash and face lotion and it was such an adventure.  They don't have normal products here so i got some random italian face wash that the women said she used and was good.  When i was walking back some guy thought i was an actual italian and i guess i must have looked like i knew where i was going because he asked me for directions.  yay! Anyways, that's all i'm going to write for now, but i'm sure i'll have lots to write about on sunday when the weekend is over.  Classes start monday.  It will be nice to get some structure.  Ciao.
