As of today, I've officially been in Rome for a week. Truth is, it already seems like forever. I have a favorite pizza place, a favorite gelateria, several routes to school, even my own 24 hour bakery. I am s-l-o-w-l-y learning to speak Italian and I've been the recipient of both the Italian stink-eye and the Italian hairy eye. I really like Rome.
But today, I wish I was home. I wish I could sit in front of my TV watching Barack Obama. Between President Bush and the Lewinsky scandal of the Clinton administration, I honestly don't think that I've been proud of my president in a decade. But today when Obama takes the oath of office, I will be proud. I'll probably eat some Nutella to celebrate.
