Since I arrived in January I can't say the weather has ever been bad. During the first week of March it rained everyday but other than that, January through April is way more enjoyable in Rome then it is in Conklin.
My apartment is in Trastevere, the 'true Roman' area of Rome. My school is located in Monte Verde which is one of the higher end areas of Rome (think the Italian version of Lincoln Park in Chicago). During the first two weeks of April there were blossoms everywhere! It was absolutely gorgeous in Rome!
On the 20min walk from my apartment to school there is my dream house, it has a roof that you can hang out on and is the epitome of Italian design. There are these huge wisterias (i'm guessing on the name of these flowers) growing all along the side of the house and on the entrance gate. It was so beautiful that I couldn't not share with everyone at home.

Side note: I took a cooking class a few weeks ago and learned how to make Cacio e Pepe, a common Roman pasta dish. So my roomies and I had family dinner night and I cooked for them, they were super impressed. If I can find the right kind of cheese when I get home then it can be my contribution for one of the Half Moon Lake dinners we have
