Perugia

I was so tired this morning, but then again, when am I not?  I almost felt like just going back to bed and being late to school, but I ended up getting up.  The first class we had was English this morning. It was very interesting because the teacher only had three students come up to the board and write down a sentence in past, present, and question form, and then he sat down at his desk and the class just talked for the rest of the hour.  Then we had informatics and I didn't understand one word! That's probably the worst class I've had so far.

For the next two hours, I went with my private Italian teacher, and then I went back to class for two hours of math. It was terrible because we had a test in math and the teacher gave me my copy in English, but I still didn't know how to do the problems because I didn't understand her when she explained them the previous week!  There were only four questions and I think I got half of ONE right... I skipped two of them because I had no idea how to do it and I just did some random stuff on the rest.  When the teacher came over to look at my test, I tried to hide it because I was embarrassed by my work, but she kept looking at it and then she told me "that graph looks right" and there were like 4 graphs on the paper.  Just one "looked" right.  Oh boy.

After walking home and eating lunch, I got ready to go to Perugia.  At 3, Giulia, Janie, and her host parents picked me up.  The drive to Perugia was about an hour and I listened to my ipod and almost fell asleep.  When we got there, we helped Giulia move into her apartment because she is going to a university there.  While Giulia and her friends cleaned the apartment, Janie, her host parents, and I, walked around Perugia for about two and a half hours.  It was extremely beautiful and I took a lot of pictures.  It is one of the most beautiful cities I have seen thus far.

At around 7:30, Giulia met up with us, and we went and got pizza.  Yes, more pizza.  It was delicious! I ate so much.  Then we went and got a tiny gelato cone, which was delicious as well, of course.  We left Perugia after that and it took another hour to get home.  Janie and I were originally going to go to the church group tonight, but we got home about 30 minutes late and I am super tired anyway.  I am glad that I might get to bed before 12 tonight.  I almost fell asleep in class today.  I don't know if it's because I'm bored or because I just haven't been getting enough sleep...

Ciao!
