School and such

Sometimes its hard to believe that I've already been living here for a little less than 2 months.I've made really good progress with my Italian. I don't speak any english I'd say about 91% out of the day. School is going good if not a bit boring at times,but its realy the people that make it fun. This is how a typical day goes for me.

I share a room with my host sister which I don't really mind because it is quite big. I wake up at about 6:45 every morning and slowly zombie like stumble into the bathroom to try to make myself look like a human being. Mind you I have to share that bathroom with 2 other girls and a Minou that is constantly parched so as you can imagine there is never a dull moment. I get dressed, and then go into the kitchen to make myself some tea. I eat an apple and some nutella with toast, and I'm on my way. The family I'm staying with loves listening to the radio pretty much 24/7, and almost all of the songs they play on all of the stations are in english. While I'm eating my breakfast I usually get serenaded by Sir Elton John,ABBA, Cher, or Madonna . Lisa and I take that lovely tram that I've described in previous posts for about 10 minutes and then we arrive at school.

My classmates are really really nice,and are what makes school fun and worthwhile. Sometimes Luca brings me bilingual magazines so that I can both entertain myself ,and actually learn something!

Anyway I'd bet that you'd like to see some pics
