Each day I come home and I go "I should write a blog post!" then proceed to take a nap, check facebook, and do anything but. Here's a brief rundown of what's happened in the past almost week since I've posted.
Classes on Thursday, Friday, and Monday were basically all the same. I introduced myself and answered all kinds of questions. Some of the standout questions were "What do you think of marijuana legalization in the USA? What do you DISlike about Italy? Do you like Italian boys." Those were interesting to answer. Most of the kids want to know what TV I watch and what movies I like but sadly that list is very short so there isn't much to discuss.
Over the weekend I went to Milan, twice. Saturday for Quidditch practice but I didn't practice because I got awful blisters on my heels from my new shoes that I wore last Thursday. I had a lovely chat with Velia since she was recovering from a cold then a nice dinner where I tried kebabs (not meat on a stick but kind of like Turkey (the country) barbecue sandwich). On Sunday I slept in then ventured back to Milan for aperitivo with some quidditch friends. You pay like 10euros for a drink (alcoholic or not) then get an unlimited buffet of tasty food. Some places are cheaper but the food selection correlates to price. I had couscous, mini pizzas, brownies, pasta, breadsticks, french fries, onion rings, risotto, and who knows what else. I tried a bit of everything that looked good. Then we wandered around near the duomo, I found some headphones because I managed to lose mine somewhere, and I caught the train back to Saronno. I think I can use the trains and busses now, at least to and from Saronno and around Saronno, which is a relief. However, all the school kids ride normal busses so today my bus was jam packed with kids age 8-18, mostly elementary and middle school aged though. There had to be at least 30. It was like the p2p but possibly worse.
I have a schedule for this week which is lovely. tomorrow I get to sleep in! I don't have to be at school until 11:10 so I'll catch either the 10 or 10:30 bus, probably the 10. Much better than waking up and leaving by 7:30. However, everyone's schedule changes next week so I still can't plan too much. One class today asked if I would cook something around Christmas time and they would also cook something for everyone to share. Recipe suggestions are welcome please!!
