Class begins...as well as Italian life

So this past week was the beginning of classes. The campus is a small building but very beautiful and interesting in its design. There is a beautiful garden as well which is so nice to relax by during breaks.

Language courses have begun and for someone such as myself who has no experience with the language this week has been overwhelming. I am so anxious to be able to use it on a daily basis. Feel less like an outsider looking in. But it truly is challenging to learn to think Italian. I feel overloaded with information but I am determined to be able to pick it up. The best part is that while it is 5 days a week, its for 3 hours which leaves so much of the day to exploring, studying and becoming a part of the culture. I think it will only enhance the experience and speed up the learning process of language. At least I hope so :)

I'm most excited for the events coming up. This weekend is going to bring lots of interesting events. Including a lantern festival night, The opening of the Duomo, and a trip to Cinque Terre. Then next weekend includes a trip around Tuscany and the weekend after Radiohead concert! Currently a trip to Paris and/ or London is also being planned.

I am just so excited for everything coming up and so happy to be getting settled in here. Hopefully this will really feel like home one day.

We'll talk soon <3
