On Sunday I move out of the hotel that we having been staying in since our arrival. I am glad to be getting out because it is similiar to the dorm experience that I never wanted. People run down hallways, smoke and drink (despite the "rules") in their rooms, people keep their doors wide open, there's gossip, cliches, and nasty cafeteria food!
My apartment is not yet lined up for certain, but things are looking really good. The place I will probably be staying in is very clean, safe, comfortable, well-lit, and most importantly, it feels like a place that I can make my home for nine months.
I have been taking some pictures to post and as soon as I get the whole computer situation figured out, I will post them. For now though, I am relying upon the "Internet Train"--Italy's chain of internet cafes--for computer and internet access.
Tomorrow my Italian language classes start, so tomorrow I will begin my attempts to become comfortable with speaking Italian. I am borderline terrified to speak because I am not so good at it! I bet within two weeks though I will make great leaps.
Until then...(leave me a comment!)
