Week two, Monday

Thats the one half of the table all with our drinks of wine/beer. Students from left to right. Victoria, Kelly, Me, Molly, Donatella (administrator), Rita (Deaf culture teacher).

The first day of the second week of classes is now complete…. Wow. I didn’t exactly start off the week too well, but the day did end on a good note. Last night before I went to bed I left my phone in the bathroom… I bring it with me everywhere just in case one of you call cause I would be really upset if I missed a call from one of you. I use my phone as my back up alarm because the travel alarm I bought and use here is not that loud… Well this morning the alarm in my room didn’t wake me up and my phone was in the bathroom so I didn’t hear it going off…. So I woke up at 9… when I’m supposed to be starting class…. So I missed my first class of the day. I called Donatella immediately to let her know so everyone didn’t start to worry. Luckily I didn’t get in too much trouble but I am mad that I missed Italian class because I really need to be in that class because I’m really struggling with it. Oh well, what can you do.

So the day went great. I had LIS class which was fun as usual. Then when that was done I went to McDonalds….. yea… That’s right. We all decided it was something we had to do to see if it tasted the same or different. We all expected it to taste just a little different… Well it didn’t. I was disappointed. They do have some different menu items but I had the bigmac.. it was the same.

After that we did some shopping… OH! And I got my gelato for the day… mmmmmmm It was delicious. I had Lemon.. Of course. Lol. And a scoop of melon flavored…. Melon is still winning champ. After that we did some more looking around in stores.

After class today about 4 students (me included)and my teachers except for Roberto, and the director of the program and a couple assistants went out for dinner at a pizza place… The pizza was great! The price was 13 euros… A lot of people didn’t go because they said that was too much for pizza… Well it turns out it didn’t just cover the pizza…. First of all it covered a whole pizza.. which was very big, and it covered a half liter bottle of wine for yourself, and It covered dessert!!! That’s an amazing price! The wine was exquisite. I didn’t realize that they would give us our own personal bottles… I expected a glass of wine… Wow… I was a bit tipsy on the way home. Lol.

My bus stops running at 830 so I ended up taking a different bus that one of the other girls takes and stopped at the train station and walked the rest of the way home. I got home around 930. So now here I am typing away at 1030.

I’m sure that tomorrow will go by just as fast as the rest of the days have been going. So I can say with confidence that I will see you guys very soon! Take care of yourselves.

Amore,

John
