Hello hello hello!!!
It is me! Im in Italy, perguia. And it is my first full day! Flying wasn't so great. I felt really really sick and our second flight was delayed one hour. I flew with sam ennis, sarah morales, Amanda kellet, and Jessie ragnio. We flew swiss air from logan to zurich and zurich to rome and then bused from rome to Perugia. But we had a delay, and then people lost their luggage, so we didn't leave rome till 5pm. We got to the Hotel Gio at 7pm, moved my stuff in. I was living in room 314 and my roommate had already moved in but she had the key, and I was locked out, not having met my roommate yet. So these girls, Katy and karole let me put my stuff in their room. I changed my shirt and went down to dinner. Dinner was good pasta and chicken, and then I tried to move into my room again. Only again my roommate was not there, so I moved my stuff from Katy and karole's room into the hall way. I also found out that Katie and karole were living in my apartment! I went downstairs and skyped mom and dad, and my roommate found me!Her name is sara hanson. I moved my stuff in, we talked a bit, and went to bed.
This morning we ate breakfast at the hotel and then moved into our apartment on via bartolo at 9am. Come to find out, the people I met are living in our building but not in the same apartment. The girls I am living with are sara hanson, alex, Kelley scott, and carson.
This morning after we moved in, two men from umbria acqua came, we thought to turn on our water. So we talked to them in very broken Italian and then asked to come in. they asked for coffee, which we did not have nor know how to make. So they left after awhile and then returned later with 7 espressos, one for each of us. They sat in our kitchen and we chatted some more, and they taught us how to make coffee, once we found our coffee makers. Evan and Marco left saying they would be back tomorrow at 9 or coffee that we made…we'll see how true that is soon.
So we unpacked and then had lunch at a pizzeria across the street, called Quattro passi pizzeria, with the girls in the apartment next to us. I feel like we will know the people at the pizzeria by name in a few weeks, at the rate we are going. Well, in fact, their names are danielle and well…I can't remember the other one's name.
Then we went on a tour of Perugia, to see the school and where we are meeting tomorrow. It started to rain and we went back to our apartment, after walking for what seemed like forever. We all decided we should go grocery shopping, as it was 5pm and we did not have dinner or more importantly, toilet paper. So we bought some things, and then I cooked pasta and string beans for us and our umbra neighbors, karole, Katie, and later carly and erin joined us. We drank some wine, showered, and went out at about 10:30.
We went to a place called eden. The bartenders Nathan and kit seemed especially nice. Kit however, is going back to London to study, she spoke English and Italian beautifully. There we met Lorenzo, mattia, and Antonio, who seem very very nice. Although, while walking, I busted my newly pedicured toes on mattia's foot, as he was walking in front of me, and it bled. So we found a fountain, washed my foot, and eventually said goodnight, it being 2 in the morning now.
SoI am going to bed, and we have orientation tomorrow morning. The people here are loud outside right now, but seem so so friendly. I cannot wait for day two. I feel like time is flying by, but also that ive been here forever.
