I had my first day of school on Monday. I woke up around 7:15, showered, had breakfast and then rushed out the door by 8:10. School started at 8:20 but we had to find my class and everything. We made it to school and to say the least, I was a nervous wreck! I didn't know anyone, I speak enough Italian to get by but otherwise I was on my own. Claudia helped me find my class and once we got there, she started talking with the teacher (who's the wife of Nicola's basket coach) while I stood awkwardly in the doorway. After a few minutes, she motioned for me to come in, where I stood in front of the class, told them where I was from and then she started asking who spoke the best English. Thank God, a boy named Beudine (screwed that name up) knows English pretty well so he became my buddy.
In school, we all stay in the same class while the teachers make their rotations. My classes include: Anatomy, English, Italian, Math, History, Physics, Organic Chem, regular Chem, Religion (Also my free period since I'm not religious), and Gym. Each day our classes change order so I have different classes on Mondays than say Wednesdays. I get out around 1 each day except Tuesdays and Saturdays when I get out at noon. I'm supposed to have another class but we're not sure what that class will be.
Today, I did get to go running with the triathlon club. We did a Fartlec and it felt like good ol' cross country practice. The coach is awesome and the 4 other people on the team are amazing. The coach wants me to start coming to their swim and bike workouts so I might start doing that. Anything that keeps me in shape here.
So what about that camp last week? It was soooo much fun. We went to Trieste, Udine, Venice, Grado, a beach, a chair factory and an air force base. So in all, I learned a lot and I had a lot of fun.
I'll update at the end of this week to give the load down on how my first week of school was. Ciao!
