La Famiglia in Italia

  Hello Blog People,      One of the highlights of the last semester was my family coming to visit me while I was studying abroad. The fact that they were going to come and see the life I was living there was such good motivation and kept me going in January and February. Those are usually pretty hard and being away from my family is always difficult, but knowing that they would come brought me a lot of comfort. Their general plan was to fly into Rome and visit me in Florence. After a few days, we all traveled to Switzerland for my spring break and then we stay in a small town where my mom has some friends.      On March 21 my family landed in Rome. I was so so so so so so excited to see them. I took a train from Florence down to Rome. The first problem was that my parents didn’t have cell service so we set up a place to meet up when I got there. I knew where I was going because earlier that month I had been to Rome and the Rome train station, but they...

My First Week (of class!)

 Hello Blog People! I have now finished my first week of classes. There is a lot that has happened, so I will give you bullet points on the most important and interesting things I have encountered thus far.  (Also, I hope you are enjoying this. I enjoy updating you all and would appreciate hearing that you like hearing about it too. Just let me know, and let your/our friends know about it too!) OK, the first week: - SICKNESS : I got sick this week. That was not fun. I started to come down with a cold that has been going around campus on Saturday night (it did not stop me from getting gelato) and by Sunday I was down. I slept in which was nice, but had low energy and a sore throat. I felt a lot better on Tuesday and by Sunday it was gone. I am not surprised that I got sick because honestly, everyone has been getting sick. With the combination of stress, an overwhelming new culture a bunch of new bacteria, and people coming from all over, it's honestly to be expected. I'm glad t...

Siena: A Beautiful Community

  Hello Blog People!       Last week, the school took us to Siena for our weekly trip. I wasn't expecting a lot, but came back with tons of knowledge about Siena and a real appreciation for the city and its culture. In all honesty, it was a week ago and some details may be fuzzy, but I took notes so I can share those with you. The trip was very interesting, and I cannot wait to tell you about it.       The first thing you should know about Siena is that it is still kind of a Medieval city but in the best way. The city is broken into 17 contradas, all named after animals, that are kind of like clans. A person's identity is based on what Contrada they are a part of. Every part of life focuses on 2 horse races called the Palio (PAH-lee-o) that happen in July and August. This is a big deal in the city, everything focuses around it. They even keep track of years based on who won the Palios that year. All of this is just a part of normal life. Most...
