classes

so last nite after dinner i went to the gym and played basketball with a bunch of people from the program for a few hours. it was a lot of there were a lot of ppl that came to play, at one point i think we had tre o quattro teams rotating, games to 10 - winner stays style, it was fun to actually run and work my body its something i havent been doing much, well any of, lately in the states. so it was good to make sure everything still worked. it was a lot of fun met a few more ppl i hadnt and i got a blister, so i guess i was working hard......
after basketball i came home and showered and then went and had a drink and la piazza (the bar) with some friends there werent as many ppl as the first nite but still a good number. i wasnt planning on staying long but i got myself into a 50 person flippy cup game! it was fun, my team won. i went home just a little before 12. actually yesterday we read a little announcement on the borad in our hall about how "anyone caught publicly intoxicated after 12am could be put in jail and fined up to 300euro. we didnt quite understand this at first b/c the bar had been doing last call at1. we ended up talking with the bartender/owner (moricio) and he told he also could be fined by the policia for staying open after 12, but hes been making so much money off of us, i would stay open to. i think its worth it for him, but im sure we wont be frequenting as much as everything here is about to get a little faster and more hectic.
oh yeah i also did a load of laundry in the sink last nite just some boxers and socks but it worked out pretty well and theyre dry this morning and clean so yay!
this morning it was raining and cold. i had two classes, managerial econ and consumer benhavior. i am absolutely loving the teachers here, they are all so amazing! my teacher in CB is really exciting me. she is here with her family (husband and four kids) and they rent a house in osolo (8km from here) from some american ppl who live in italy now. (the renters visit family and friends while they stay here) and she was telling us that we will come at some point and have dinner with them which should be exciting. esp since she was telling us about her 87yr old neighboor who was the first female pharmacist in italy and this ladies parents, parents used to hide italian soldiers in some caves and tunnels near their house in WWII when the austrians were coming thru/over the dolomite mountains (the mountains right behind campus!!) and that we mite get to visit those tunnels!!! thatd would be amazing!!
on a side not she told us a pretty interesting story id like to share. she was giving a presentation to a competitor of walmart in seohl, korea and she said when she went in it was the first time she ever "knew/realized" she was a female b/c everyone had a "no way this woman can teach us anything/waste of time" face on. they were all suit and tie 50yr old men in this company. and ten minutes in someone came in the door and it was 6 military men with big guns and they proceeded to point there guns and scream at this man a few rows back, who hit the floor and, she said it was obvious he was begging for his life. and she had no idea what was going on, and then they dragged him out, and she was told to continue. she later found out the man had stolen some things from the comapny and sold them on the black market, which in korea thats fine black market is part of their culture, but his sin was that he was using the money to live lavishly, a.k.a he had a house bigger than his boss!!! he was sent to jail for 18yrs, which for a 55yr old man is essentailly his life!!!! crazy huh.....
so after class i came back and went to check out lunch it was the same as always which is getting old already. so we went to the tabbachi across the street and got some sandwhiched for 2euro and they were amazing!! oh yeah i also figured out that they do serve the food luke warm/cold on purpose. evidently in italy serving hot food is not a necessity/priority, i dont but it kinda sucks that its not hot. like most things in america are either hot or cold i guess the dont do that everything is room temp.... milk, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, green beans, etc. but hey i guess i gotta getused to it
i have my last class this afternoon and then we dont have class again until the first two day of next week. we have a lot of things plannned a mall trip, ropes course, teamwork building/leadership skills excercises and things. im not sure what those all entail but ill tell ya lata...... see ya soon
