I don't have much Italian news to report, but here are a few updates
- I got full credit on that paper that I talked about a few days ago. CRAZY, but awesome. The average grade was a C. I got an A... I don't hate it! College is easy. Thank you, BG (and dare I say, Meghan Tesini?)
- We have officially 65 days left in Italy. Over a full month has gone by.
- Tonight I am going to dinner and a soccer game with some of the girls. Our friend Amazjah who is here with us plays on one of the soccer teams that they offer for teens, so we are going to support her.
- There is a travel advisory for Americans in Europe. You can read about it on CNN. Basically, people here hate American's. Mom told me not to wear anything blatantly American, so I guess I can no longer wear my Boston University shirt ;) what a shame... (dad, I know you'll be happy to hear that). I also cannot run through the airport wearing nothing but an American flag. Shoot, I guess that foils all my plans.
- I finished all 6 seasons of LOST. It blew my mind... I can't even talk about it. PLEASE recommend some more shows that you have enjoyed! Until then, I have two books to read: Invisible Man and The Four Agreements (thank you to my amazing cousin, Kara!) Very excited for both.
- After Thursday we have 5 days off, then return to class for midterms. Crazy to think I am already half way through my first semester of college.
- Tomorrow we have a walking tour of the secret passages throughout the city. I know the basic jist of their use, but I will wait until after thr tour to report on this to make sure I have the right details.
- ANYONE who wants to visit me here, REALLY feel free! ;) Or I guess I would settle for some cards or a package or something... anything from people back home is really awesome :) Just ask for my mailing address (not the same as the street address where I live).
Ciao!
of course you will always do well in class! 65 days feels like blinking to me nowadays. when i first met you and your family, i was so young, yet it feels like yesterday (so cliche, but true). enjoy, experience (carefully :), and savor the time you have there! this time in your life should be full of fun! i wish i had more fun when i had all of that energy! :) we'll try to send you something fun soon. send me your mailing address. <3 Liz
