I'm Not Dead Yet!

Just very busy! The Sicily trip was wonderful but extremely exhausting, and as soon as I came back I jumped into tour guide mode, running around Rome (and a bit of time in Florence and Tivoli) with my parents. I've got a quiz (over two weeks worth of site visits) tomorrow and an Italian test on Wednesday, in addition to all my usual classes including the weekly all-day site visit on Tuesday. The good news is that I don't have any classes after Wednesday evening! So things will be quiet here a little bit longer, and then I'll start catching up--many of the posts are already written, I just have to fill in the pictures and their explanations :)
