The Switch

The first hour of class was Italian today and I read my Italian book.  I'm about 2/3 of the way through with it now.  During the biology hour, I wrote a thank you letter to Roberto and Lorena in English to translate and give to them when I switch houses.  Then I read for the rest of the time.  The next two hours were gym and we did a couple of weird exercises in the beginning and then started playing a game like basketball except you didn't have to dribble the ball and you had to throw it into a soccer net instead of the basketball hoop.  I was just standing with a couple of my friends because I didn't want to do anything and the guys were all playing aggressive.  Eventually the teacher let us sit out. We sat on a mat and talked for the rest of the time.  The last hour of the day was art and we went to the computer lab.  Emily helped me translate my letter into Italian.

After lunch, I finished all of my packing and re-wrote my letter on nicer paper.  Janie and her host dad (now my host dad) came over around 3:30 with all of Janie's stuff and Lorena and Roberto were crying when I was leaving.  I had one suitcase and 3 small bags, while Janie had one big suitcase, one small suitcase, and probably 7 other bags of stuff.  She has done a lot of shopping!  When I got to my new house, I unpacked everything and talked with my host parents for a little bit about small house things.  Then I went over to Janie's at 5:30.  It was so strange being the guest at a house I have lived in for 4 months.  Janie and I hung out and then got ready to go out.  We left the house at 7 and met up with Giulia and her friends.  We all went to the central bar and talked until around 8.

We went to Giulia's friend's house for dinner and stayed there until 10:30.  Then we went to the pub and sat outside for the rest of the night because there weren't any places inside.  It wasn't as cold as I expected it to be.  Janie and I talked most of the time and we were laughing so hard!  My stomach hurt after a while from laughing so much.  It was a fun night.  Around 12, I got really tired and we were picked up at 12:30.

Now I get to sleep in this house for the first time. And I get to sleep in! Hallelujah!

Buonanotte!
