Calcio  Europe » Italy » Umbria » Perugia
So I originally didn't get Tyler money for my soccer ticket on friday, although Hellen convinced me to go on Sunday. I ended up getting a cheaper ticked because I was a girl...fancy that. The game was fun and our team won. Oh man it was MOLTO CALDA!!! We were right in the sun. The fans were crazy though and cheered the entire time. Sarah's list of Diffferences: - There is a 50% discount for female calcio fans - "football" is called calcio - Fans have these bitchen rally scarves....i got one and plan on using it for the winter - [View Full Entry]

Away to Rome Europe » Italy » Lazio » Rome
So the first weekend I was sad cause I wanted to go somewhere but didn't know where. Then out of no where I was told about this festival in Rome. An hour later I had a hostel and was on a train to Roma! Look mom I am a Jr. travel agent. Anyhoo after learning the wonders of train travel we go to where the hostel is supposed to be. Apparently it is just an office "close to the train station" and the real hostel far away. So one of the workers walks us to what I think is his apartment. [View Full Entry]

Exploring and Pizza Europe » Italy » Umbria » Perugia
Alright today involved Italian class and some random exploring. I went to the underground Etruscan foundation which was really cool. The Pope came in and there was a war between the people and the church. I guess he was a bad dude back then. The pope built his home on top of the city, which is why it is underground now. You have to imagine that there is no roof but sky. The hallways are really old streets. Cool huh? The pope also taxed salt, so to rebel the Etruscan people stopped putting salt in there bread = why their bread [View Full Entry]

My First Apartment! Europe » Italy » Umbria » Perugia
I keep waking up early for some reason and decided to take some pictures of my first apartment. I am way excited. I hope Hellen doesn't think it is creepy I took a pic of her while she was asleep. lol. I am still trying to take in everything that is going on around me. It is such a big adjustment. Just going to the grocery store is a crazy experience.

Arcadia Dinner Europe » Italy » Umbria » Perugia
So I totally thought my Arcadia dinner was on the 4th but apparently it was on the 3rd. I went to the one on the 4th anyway and it was decent. I have had better meals...I guess I am not a risotto kind of person. Classes are really intense...I guess thats what they meant by intensive Italian. I hope to get better at speaking soon.

Going out Europe » Italy » Umbria » Perugia
After the really boring orientation...except for the really cute Florence police officer who was really funny ("the number one sport in Italy is not soccer it is women")...I decided to go out to see what the night life was like. So did ever other Umbra student. I have met so many people in such a sort time, it is like freshman year all over again, I hope I remember most of the peoples names. [View Full Entry]

Dinner with the girlies Europe
Steph my roomie for dinner invited me to dinner at a really good restaurant. It was my first fancy dinner out so I was super excited. I met a bunch of people and got to have a 5 course meal. I ate meat for the first time in a while and it was yummy. We had delicious bread with onions, spagetti and red sauce, and a rigatoni and cream sauce. Then a salad and a plate of every type of meat there is...lamb, turkey, chicken, pork, some portion of a cow. I like the big homemade croûtons. The meal ended with [View Full Entry]

Waiting for more courses

FINALLY I got this blog deally working. First of all I am in love with Perugia. It is beautiful as you can see in the photos. My plane flight was long and of course I slept on most of it. Although the second half had a crying baby so I watched a bunch of movies on my personal tv screen. The coolest thing on the flight was seeing lightning happen below us. The clouds we were flying over were glowing, it was cool and a little unnerving. I stayed at Hotel Gio (sounds like joe) in the lower modern part of [View Full Entry]
