It's official; I've survived my first week abroad without getting serously lost, hit by a car, sick, or having killed anyone! Woo hoo! I have, however, gotten somewhat lost a few times getting to class, had another near-collision accident with my casa-mate, been literally sandwiched (or panino-ed)between 2 cars with less than a foot on each side, and might be coming down with a cold (because it's FREEZING here). Class is really good though...my teacher is hilarious and really nice but we always have a lot of homework. Living in a home is still wonderful. I LOVE my host parents and the cooking is getting even better. We had lasagna and pizza tonight--never have I ever had lasagna that was so good. It was very different than what we eat back home, but I'm not quite sure why. I have to ask what all she put in it because next to cappellacci, it might be my favorite.
Last night was Jenna's (a friend in the program) 21st so we had cake in the apartments then hit the bars. It was super cold outside already and I didn't want to bike home in any way inebriated (since I can't drive straight in the first place) so I only had wine. Next time however, I might ask for the "bibite femminile e dolce con frutta" the girly drink the bartender created which tasted really good. I also got to meet some more italians last night! I met Francesco, Bolsha (who's actually Serbian), and another guy that I didn't like much bc he never took a cigarette out of his mouth. They're all friends of the students who were here last semester. I'm really excited to get a conversation partner too, and hopefully we hear about that soon. Also, we're going to Urbino this weekend!!! I'll post more on Sunday and try to figure out how to add pics.
