Oh my heck I love it here so much. Siena is just beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I have Italian class at the university from 9-1:30 every day, which I am loving. I am learning so quickly it makes me so excited.
I've got a lovely apartment which I share with a girl from the U who is named Lauren, and she has been a great roommate, we get along quite well. Actually, out of the group of 24 students, there isn't one that I don't get along with! They are all super fun and easygoing. I am, of course, the youngest person in the group, but that is ok, I don't mind being the baby. I am pretty sure that I am also the only Mormon in the group, which I found to be surprising, but I don't mind , and they have all been super good about me coming to the bars or tea rooms with them and just getting my peppermint tea or my San pellegrinò, there are even a few kids who don't drink as well, so that's nice.
My favorite part of the day; going grocery shopping. Why? Because I get to walk past all of the tourists in the main parts of the city with my grocery bags feeling so cool, like "yeah, that's right, I have grocery bags, because I LIVE here, in this supercool place that you are only visiting."
I have not taken too many pictures yet, because there is so much to take pictures of that it overwhelms me a lot.
I'll take some I promise.
Yesterday I bought myself a ticket to the Siena vs. Milan soccer game, which is here in Siena on Sunday, and I am going with my roommate, two guys from our group and their Italian host family. Super excited for that.
Also, the FREAKING GELATO FESTIVAL is going on in Florence this week so that is where I am going for the day tomorrow (Saturday)
I'll be back with more soon!
Ciao, arrivederci
