so the last few days have been really fast and really exciting! when i finshed dinner (pasta) we had orientation where they explained how our schedule read and a few rules and whatnot. all the staff are really kool ppl and just want us to have a fantastic time while were here and there are so many things well be doing its crazy!!! after the orientation i came back and showered because i had been in my clothes for 34hrs and i smelled. then a lot of ppl (well everybody basically, oh yeah there are 151 of us students here this semester) went to the bar, which happens to be about a 20step walk from the portineria, to watch the bears-saints game. but when we got to the bar they only got cnn so we left..... no we didnt we were there til 1 when they were tired of us. but they had wine on tap, red and white, and some really good beers. everyone was meeting ppl adn trying to remember names but you know how it goes.
my roomate is a really kool guy his name is adam. the guys across the hall, tony and durken(his last name), are real fun guys too.... everyone here is.
this morning i woke up at 8 and went to breakfast. they had coffe and croisants and donuts and some cocoa puff type things and some wheaties things too. i got a orange juice a croissant and a bowl of the wheaties. i sat down and dipped my spoon into the cereal and took a bite and about threw up because the milk was warm and tasted like shit with the imitation flakes(the milk came from a box shoulda been my tip off but w.e) but i lived on the croissant and juice. then we had an orientation with everybody where they went over more things in more detail. trips and schedule and soccer and bbal games vs. the italians and so forth. after that i went and picked up my books and then went to lunch. for lunch i had the pasta with red sauce again and some turkey with cooked broccoli and carrots (by cooked and i mean they had been cooked, but italians must not like hot food because they were luke warm, if that, im still trying to figure this cold food thng out) but i ate it all. then i went to my classes comm&culture and italian for conversation both classes went really well and had me excited abouth the semester ahead. for our semester we must attend every single class. first absence is a 1/3 letter grade in that class. second absence and its a full letter grade in that class. and third absence in dismissal from the program, yes thats right back to the states. and if u didnt figure it out the absences are cummulative, that means for all my classes i have 3 total absences!! gotta go i guess....
right now im just doing this posting and waitng for dinner. actually most afternoons once the semester gets rolling i will have free so my afternoon/nites are your morning/afternoons so if u can get on an instant messenger and try to talk to me if im here. windows live is a little iffy sometimes with signing in, but skype always has worked so get that for free and catch me.
