All i got to say about our trip to Amsterdam is omg!!! What an experience, i def know how to get around, nothing can or will compare to this weekend! So it starts with Friday the 15th, and how we go to Rome Airport. We leave at 7:00 from Perugia on a train to Rome, well it is supposed to be about a 2 and 1/2 train ride, well it turns into a 4 hour train ride! You want to know why, i know you do! This train stops in the middle of the countryside b/c the traffic light is red [View Full Entry]

Allora cominciamo! Today is Ash Wednesday, and i told myself to give up English for 40 days, which i knew would be impossible considering my classes are taught in English but i decided to tell myself to just speak more, b/c i know i will beat myself up, along with my parents, if i don't come back speaking awesome Italian!!! :) O and i also told myself to write in my journal everyday so here i am!

Ok so I really do not have much to talk about but i feel obligated to write a blog anyway. So yesterday Natalie and I went to Church, man was that an experience. Natalie had nooo idea what was going on, but i was pretty proud of myself for getting the gist of the message, although I think that church is more for learning things other than the gist, but we went and that is what counts. In church I also made myself pray in Italian, boy my parents and especially grandma would be proud. I guess one of my goals [View Full Entry]

Ok so today so far was an interesting day, my roommates and I went to class at 9 for Italian, but instead of learning grammar the class was assigned different tasks to perform through out the city. So Franceso, our Professor comes aroundto my group and says someone who is lucky pick from the stack of papers, and what paper you get determines your task. So of course I pick it and get the only task that doesn’t require buying something! So we don’t get money! So instead we get to go around and look at signs and figure out when [View Full Entry]

Ok so last night was hilarious!!! Before going out my roommates and I went next door to our neighbors and drank some Limoncello, soo Italian and soooooo strong!! But I still liked it. After about an hour we all headed over to Merlins a Pizzeria/Pub/Club. As soon as we got there one of the guys that worked there, I guess I really don’t know who he was, gave all us girls shots of something that tasted like cough syrup!! Yuck! But whatever. We stood around for awhile and then my roommates and I snatched a table and ordered some drinks, I [View Full Entry]

I figure i could go to a few places in Italy but I have already seen most of Italy, i think the only places in Italy I want to see are Sicilia, Sanremo and Capri, maybe Calabria I am not so sure! But I know I am going to go to Torino and Aielli a few times to visit family, i think that will be the best part! SO the past day have been pretty boring, pretty much all we do in the first week is go to Italian for 4 hours and then cook something or go out to eat. [View Full Entry]

SO! My first entry! I have been here since friday, and I know that could write pages and pages but i am going to stick with today. The reason I haven't been able to start my journal till now is because I have no internet in my apartment! Something that immediately reminds me that i am no longer in the U.S., instead I am writing this in the internet cafe close to my apartment. Let me just briefly explain my apartment. IT IS HUGGGGE! It has about 7 rooms with high ceilings, and an upstairs where the laundry room is. It [View Full Entry]
