Ciao! I’ve been so busy lately. I’ve started school fully and am beginning to take 2 hour Italian lessons. School is school. Italian schools are very disorganized with their classes and schedules. I have a mixture of classes I should not be in and so on and so on. I have been going to a lot of classes with Meri because she knows what she is doing. School is boring. I have no idea what is going on and it is hard to get through it. Thursdays and Fridays I go to school till 2:30 and the other days only till 12:30.

Hey everyone! I'm in New York for the night and just logged on to the hotels wireless. I left for my flight at 12:50 from RDU to JFK. I had to find a shuttle bus in that huge airport. Let me tell you, carrying 6 months worth of luggage through a long airport is not easy! Anyways, we had orientation, and I met a ton of people. There is 40 of us going to Italy, about 10 or so going to France, and 5 going to Austria. Everyone is really nice and excited to have this opportunity. We listened all day to volunteers talk about rules, etc. which is helpful. Anyways, I am probably going to go to sleep, but just keeping everyone updated. Tomorrow, I leave for Rome at 4 P.M. I will arrive in ... read more
