busy busy busy

so its been a while, but ive been really busy.
so thrusday was a really long day we had this thing called the da vinci challenge. this guy came from slovenia, where hes from and he runs this business, and did a bunch of teamwork things with us. taught us how to work together and listen and communicate within a group to solve problems. we did things like a trust fall where u lean back and fall off a platform and the ppl catch u. a spider web where there were some ropes looking like a spider web and u had to get each member of the group thru the holes, without touching or reusing a hole. we also had to get across a "lava pit" from two platforms with a short board adn a long board(not long enough to reach across tho). and the last thing we did was we had to get our entire team over a 12ft wall. these were all really exciting and fun and PHYSICAL aticivties. i am sore like no other today, as a matter of fact i have shoes prints on my shoulders from hoisting ppl up.
breakfast and lunch were the same ole same ole, so bbbbb. but for dinner we worked out a trip to the pizzaria in asolo for ten of us. its really nice because the restaraunt comes and picks you up and takes you back for free! we got there and we ordered 7pizzas and 10liters of wine and it was only 10euro each!! and not to mention when i went to bring all our money up to the old man who owned the place we had like 70cents over so i told him take it, and i had to force him to accept it. and after i did he bought us a bottle of wine and came and drank with us!! it was awesome, we all had a ton of fun. when we got back some of the ppl in our group we hadnt seen a few days because they were secluded doing the LB1 thing. so after all that intense stuff they did they needed a drink so we were there celebrating with them. i was hurting this morning.

today we had some kepner tregoe activities about the decision making process and how to go about making decions from the most practical way with all the info and needed options, blah blah. but they did it with some activities we did about traveling here or there or how to decide where to go, and it applied very well. the things were doing here are very good for being managers and leaders its all really amazing. i like it a lot. some of it can be boring at times, but the ppl teaching and the ppl in my group are great so that helps a ton.
that seminar was all day adn we just got back from crespano to mail out our "permit to stay" forms for the police. we need these so we can stay in italy for more than a month or w.e., basically it says were doing school. but they needed to see us and our passport and signature so we all had to go, the ppl in my group i mean. for the most part everything were doing these first weeks is all in our groups. right now its 7 so i gotta go to dinner, if i dont like it i gotta hustle to the tabacci for a piece of pizza for a euro which usually fills me up. im not eating as much here, which is great i need to lose some wieght. catch ya lata a pui tardi!!! ciao ciao
