Day Eight


Thursday Jan 14 2010

Today was a long day. We had an academic orientation, a medical orientation, a “cross cultural experience” with an American education professor, and an orientation for honors students today. Apparently in order to work out at a gym in Italy I need to meet up with a soctor and get permission first (Italians have weird rules- yet so do Americans). We also found out that some classes only have 3,4, or 5 people in them- which isn’t nearly enough- there must be at least 7. Luckily, im not in any of those classes. Tonight I hung out with the same crowd as last night. We went to a place called Glamour- which was free again. We met these American students from Virginia State studying here until April. They arrived here on Tuesday. They thought I was Italian when they first saw me! I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not- ill take it as a compliment. Glamour wasn’t as packed until later on in the night. It was really fun and yet again they played American hip hop music.
