It's an update!
Hi guys!
Just thought I would update here in Italy. Things started off rather rocky but are slowly getting better. There are few girls that aren't into going and drinking but I still really miss everyone at home. If anything this trip makes me so much more thankful for everyone and their quirks. Especially the fact we aren't that loud and boisterous and have more class. Some of the girls have decided that their goal before the progam is over is to get me drunk because I won't do it. I occassionally go out and have a drink with them but most of the time I won't go past what I feel is a comfortable limit for me. They try and push and peer pressure to try to get me to go further but I don't want to. It's still rather bothersome to have the loud noises around when I am tired. I am living in an apartment with 9 other girls and my roommate loves to pub crawling and play beer pong...toooo noisy >.<
Culinary classes have been quite fun and I have gotten some good feed back from the chef on some of my dishes. Yesterday we did a stuffed squid dish and a potato flan in a cabbage leaf (we do two dishes a day) and the chef said that both came out excellent. Yay! ^_^. I really wish that I had more culinary classes here seeing as that my first set of classes end in a week (or in otherwords, I have about three classes left before I have finals) The other class that I am taking this block is a beginning italian class, that for me, is really hard. I keep wanting to speak German. The second four week block of classes entails an 80 hour internship that is 20 hours a week, along with a 2.5 hour wine appreciation class.
The past two weekends I've gone with some of the girls out to Cinque Terre and Venice which was awesome. Venice had a lot of street musicians around playing none other than tango and swing music. It was sooo sad not to have a partner. Next time! I am definitely a lot darker being out in the sun more and close to my normal summer tan haha. Ok I should stop procrastinating on my papers due for class.
Here's the page with all my phots:
