School days!

---

I am just finishing up my second day of class. This has been VERY intense so far. We're generally in school from 9:30 or 10am until 7 or 8:30pm each day (a few very short breaks in between). It has been great to actually be in school again and to learn new things, even though I do actually know English already 😊 But it amazes me as to what you could forget after not learning grammer for 14 years. And I was never trained to be a "teacher" before, so the methodology classes are quite interesting and I think will always help me in the future. It is good knowledge to have.

I am sooooo hungry right now. Surprisingly I have lost some weight already. All we do is walk here. I haven't had any fried food, or heavy food at all. Lots of panini, pasta, espresso, cappuccino, gelato and a little pasta. We are going to get some dinner, and then go to a bar to watch the craziness that is European soccer at it's best...it's the Manchester United vs Roma game in a little more than an hour at Stadio Olympico. They advised the Man U fans not to go to certain places in the city for fearing death. Haha, this is great! I can't wait to experience this in person.

I have to admit that the first day I was feeling a little "blah" and wondering if I made a bad decision coming here. The more I think about it, the less I like where we live. But I love the nicer neighborhoods, and the school is in a great area. Plus, I like all my new friends from school. It has been great so far, and I can't wait to see what this weekend has in store for us.

Well, I better get going so I can get some dinner now. I hope everyone is doing well back in the states. Miss you guys!

Um, def not blah! You probably were just tired, that is why you were thinking it might be a bad decision....remember you guys are going to look for a new area in which to live so that weirdness about the area will go away! I wish I was there!!!! The time will go SO QUICK!

Lots of panini, pasta, espresso, cappuccino, gelato sounds great... especially if you have a little pasta on top. ;-) Leave it to me to comment on that. Sounds like you're enjoying the walks. Not too many places in the world you can walk for a few hours and see stuff like that. Sup with some pics?
