Ciao a tutti,
Things in Italy have basically settled into a daily routine school,studying,friends,etc...This past week was hard because a really good friend of mine Zac who was staying in a temporary family in Bari moved to Sicily on saturday it makes me feel a lot more alone here. There are still adjustements to the italian lifestyle that are hard to make for instance I am still 100% american in my attitude towards hygiene. The language is still very difficult but I notice how far I have come. Last weekend I went with my sister over to a friend Sergio's house we ate some of the best food i've eaten while here in Italy and that says something :) On a heavier note things with my family have reached an almost unmanagable state and i am talking to my rep about switching later this week if I can't switch i think i may come home at semster because I honestly can't stay with them for the year. i'm trying to keep positive but it's hard.
baci
