So my classes start tomorrow!! I guess I DID place into the advanced italian class because my schedule hasn't changed! I'm kinda nervous about it though. I have my italian class at 9 AM TOMORROW oh my gosh, ive been sleeping until like 1 or 2 pm everyday the past couple of days so thats going to be hard. I then have this "italian grand tour: italy through the eyes of famous travellers" literature class, it's supposed to be a really cool class, so we'll see.
So since I (and the other advanced italian girl (the one from croatia)) don't have class on mondays, I think I'm going to do this thing with the elementary school here in tuscania. It's like every monday we go in and teach the kids in italian certain stuff. I don't know exactly what we'll be teaching, it could be english, or just games? I don't really know, but it sounds cool and at the end of the semester I get a certificate saying i taught in italy. It would really help my italian and be an experience, but it would also look good on a resume!
There are so many random things about Italy that are so different than the US. Here's a couple.
- When me and Stacy went grocery shopping the other day, we noticed some odd stuff. Some milk was refrigerated, and some wasn't. We bought milk that was, it seemed gross. They also don't refrigerate their eggs. aaand in one carton of eggs we saw, there was a tiny chicken feather kinda splatted on it. uh...gross. When cooking the eggs, the yolk is literally like a neon orange. It's weird, and looks so unnatural, but still tastes the same.
-Their gas stations. Well, I don't know if you would even call it that. They just have like 2 gas pumps, right on the side of the road. Like on the main road right outside the walls here, you just kinda pull your car over a little bit and pump it right there, it's kinda weird.
Alright, sooooooo we might go to Paris in a couple of weeks!! I really hope it works out, that would be amaaaaazing. It's kinda complicated though to travel from my town unless you have a car. Like I'd have to take a 20 min bus ride to Viterbo, then an hour or so long train ride into rome, and then to the airport. BUT for 80 euro, we can hire a driver to take us straight to the rome airport, which split between like 4 or 5 people, wouldn't be that bad...and so much easier.
Alright, enough for now. I shall update sooooonnnnn, hope all is well negli stati uniti. I MISS EVERYONE, WRITE ME!! buona sera
