Ciao, i miei amici! School started this week, so I have been very busy getting settled in at my home (an apartment I share with two other students and our landlady) and adjusting to having classes and homework and all that. Once again, I am largely without internet and I haven\’t had much time for photos, though I do have a few from the weekend that I have not posted, and there is an organized tour of Siena tomorrow that I will be attending, so you can expect some pictures soon!

Class is intense, and it is strange to come home from my day and still have to use Italian! I have never studied abroad before, so this is new and interesting. I am studying hard and trying to get over all of my fears about speaking.

In bocca al lupo! Ciaociao!
