Month!

Today marks my month in Italy! I love it here and I've grown used to life here. Today, I'm going bowling with my host family, my second host family and a few friends. Hopefully it goes well because well... I'm not the best bowler. Haha! The bowling place is in Slovenia which is really cool. I get to go bowling in another country!
Last night, I went to two exhibits about Gorizian life during the 1800s and 1900s. I went with my tutor, Luigi and his wife AnnaMaria. Yes, it was interesting and yes, I couldn't understand what the leader was saying but it was still really cool. I learned that this was a really poor part of the Austrian-Hungarian empire and for people to get money, they had to give up a lot of their own stuff. It was sad, really. But they had jewelry and clothes that they found a few years ago all set up on display. Then I learned that the art part of my school actually designed paintings and fashion inspired by the exhibit. That was amazing for me!
Afterwords, we went out to dinner at this really fancy restaurant, Rosenburg. It was a 5 course meal, plus fresh bread and wine. Oh my God! It was soooooooo good!! Talk about a major food coma after the meals.
Now, school on Saturday should be illegal. I had school yesterday and I just couldn't focus. Really bad on my part since I have to focus 110% of the time. Then our schedule changed. Now on Tuesdays instead of getting out at noon, I get out at 2 and on Saturdays I get out at 1 instead of noon. But here's the thing, this new schedule isn't definite. So we'll see what happens.
I got City of Bones in Italian! To say the least, it is slow going. I'm only on Chapter 2 but I'm understanding what's happening.
So I have no idea what's going to happen this week but I'll write soon. Ciao!
