Hey guys,
So its been a little crazy here lately, now that im settling in and all. Its been really fun and ive been really busy with going to school, going to the gym with my host sister and her friends, learning italian, and going out on saturday nights. Its been really tiring lately, especially because always speaking in another language makes you really exhausted. Its all working out though. Life is becoming pretty routined now, I go to school, come home and eat lunch, do my homework, then relax until i have to go to my italian courses that i have with afs, or the gym. THen i come home and eat dinner, and thats pretty much how my day goes. I was surprised at how much Italian teenagers study though. They go to school, come home, eat lunch, and then study for the rest of the afternoon. This is a lot more different from the type of work I normally do for school. They also arent really assigned calss projects or essays, its mainly studying for interrogaziones, which are tests given in class, but instead of written tests, you sit in front of the teacher, and he or she interrogates you. Its almost the christmas season here and Im really excited. I love christmas and I cant wait to see what christmas is like in another country. Im sure it will be different, but im excited nonetheless. My birthday is in a week and Im sure that will be fun too. Right now not much is going on, but Im in that period of time where, in about a week, everything is going to start happening, and its all just going to keep going. Life isnt very eventful right now, just very routined, but i know it will be. I also saw New Moon two weeks ago. It was wierd seeing it in Italian because they spoke too fast for me to understand. But I got to see it two days before my friends at home did because it came out here tow days earlier! But it was really fun and I went with some people from one of my classes who are really nice. Im having a really good time so far, and Im loving every minute here. Well until next time, ciao!
