so.

everyone keeps telling me that my blogs aren't detailed enough.
so here it goes, haha.

this is a day in the life of carissa in italy.
:]

so i wake up at 6:30 or 6 if i have to shower, then i get dressed and ready for school. then my neighbor andrea and valentino come and pick me up, they walk with me to the bus stop and then we all get on the bus. when we get off the bus we go to the tabacco shop so that they can get a pack, then to mcdonalds we go, i normally have already eaten, so i just wait til their finished then i walk to school and they go to theirs which is close to mine. then i go to school and don't do too much because i still don't know italian, so i normally just study my italian book, or talk with someone in the class. starting this week they're only going to speak italian to me, so that will be interesting, haha. after school i either take the bus home with the same group or rita picks me up, then i go home and do stuff around the house, watch tv, read, whatever opportunity i have that day, i take. a lot of the time i end up going with andrea and everyone to a local caffe and hanging out, playng fooseball and just hangin around. i also have italian lessons somedays after school and i really enjoy them, because afterwards i know a lot more italian, which i enjoy, haha.
i normally go to bed pretty early because i've been really tired since i got here.
then it starts again.

on the weekends i normally go to oristano and visit rita's sister and her daugher, nicole, they are really nice people, and they feed me very well, haha.
it's really pretty here, there is a lot of green, it's similar to tucson because it has mountains and beautiful sunsets, which i really like.

driving here is really fun, because it's faster than the states and is a little more chaotic which i like, haha.

hmm...

oh, P.E. here is interesting to me, because i'm so used to rigorous activity at home, with tennis and tae kwon do.

we're currently running, jumping on a trampoline to do a 360, i did it on my first real try, which was stressful to the other students, becuase the teacher was really excited about it, i guess it was a culture shock for me, because at home i would be doing so much more.. haha.

it's been cold here, it even snowed in oristano on valentines day, which was exciting to me, haha.
it's been rainy but when the sun comes out it's stunning.

i really miss home and all my friends and their nonsense, but it's not too long till i'm home.


i love you guys!!
