So we've been going to our orientation class for a week now, and I am getting pretty pumped up! The people in my group are really nice, and I'm excited to get to know them better. There are 20 girls and 2 guys! :-)
I've been trying to see my friends as often as I can. I'm going to miss them all when I'm gone! My cohort buddies are doing their internships this semester. Every time I've talked to them they've been exhausted. It makes me wish that time would go really slowly for the next few months! I've also been spending a lot of time with Zack. He's really sweet and I'm going to miss him.
I've already learned a lot about Italy, Ariccia, and Rome. We've been studying Italian to try to get some key phrases stuck in our heads. I love my little Italian phrasebook. It has some hilarious stuff in it, e.g., "Il tuo ego e fuori controllo." That means, "your ego is out of control!" HAHA! I need to remember that one.
Dr. Abell gave us copies of menus from some of the local restaurants. One is called the "Bebop." Cute, huh? One of the pizzerias has some very interesting pizzas. For example, how would you like to try a pizza topped with salmon, tomatoes, and mayonnaise? ...That's exactly what I said!
Anyway, every day that goes by gets me more and more excited for the trip! It won't be long now!
Ciao!
