So I feel retarded every time I go out in public because I don't speak Italian. Other IES students and I often resort to pointing and hoping they speak English, which they often don't. I think after three days I've got the bare minimum down. I can say thank you, please, excuse me, get away, and that's it... seriously that's it. We start intensive Italian next week so hopefully that will help.
Yesterday we took a tour of Rome. We saw everything, Trevi fountain, pantheon, Colosseum, and lots lots more. I'm going to post pictures soon. Seriously this city is indescribably beautiful... Everything here is like the prettiest thing I've ever seen. Last night My roommates, Kurt and his roommates and I went out to a bar and discoteca. I think we all had a great time. The discoteca was awesome but it cost 10£ for a beer!! Freakin Kurt was like "I'm gonna go buy us some beers throw me like a ten." So I'm thinking like ok he'll come back with some change.... No. He comes back and I'm like Kurt wheres my change and he tells me that there is no change and that the beer was 10£ lol... what the eff?? lol I'm still mad about it. Tomorrow we leave to go to Assisi and some other small town in Rome as a part of our IES orientation so I'll let you know how that goes.
I get really homesick at night and sometimes during the day especially if I'm tired, but other than that all is going well
I'll post again soon
Liz
