So it's Wednesday and my third day of classes (and first week) is over. We head to Sorrento (in southern Italy) this weekend as a group. The University sponsors one trip on the weekend, and it's this weekend. I hear Sorrento is warmer than Rome (it's been raining ever since Katie left on Sunday) and there are beaches there.
My roommate Brian and I are talking about renting mo-peds and cruising around down there. We want to fit in, so we're going to try and hit as many Americans as possible (just kidding). My classes are good so far. It's difficult to squeeze two classes that are normally three months long into five weeks. We were in class for 7 hours the first day and 8.5 yesterday. Luckily, we just have 2 and a half hours today, a light day before we leave tomorrow.
Different people are taking different combinations of classes here, so other people have class from 2-7pm today. Luckily, I'm not one of them. I bought stuff to make beef quesadillas at the supermarket. I'm 100% sure that I purchased ground beef, but it looked like it does in America, so we're taking a chance for dinner tonight. Our stovetop is one that you turn on the gas and have to light yourself with a lighter. This has been a constant source of comedy for my roommates. Usually, they come back late and decide to make eggs (scrambled eggs are universal) but cannot figure out how to light the stove. I can hear every word from my room, and it's kind of a nice side entertainment.
We don't have much television here. There is a small TV in our dining room that has maybe five channels. One of them is CNN in English, but it isn't on all the time, a little confusing.
I'm bringing my camera to Sorrento this weekend, hopefully I'll have some visually stimulating images for the blog next week. I feel like after posting pictures, a blog post with just words leaves a little to be desired.
