I'm here!!






Well I am now in Siena and getting settled in. I am so glad I ma here. We were in Rome the first night and it was a little overwhelming. Siena is just beautiful and I can't believe I get to live here for 4 months. My Italian is terrible but that's what class is for I guess. I've been trying to use it, but I don't remember much.
All the people in my program seem really nice and the girls I am living with are great. Last night we went to dinner with our Italian roommate and then walked around. My apartment is fabulous. It's right off the Campo, which is the center of the historic area, and it's much bigger than I expected. I have a roommate, Gio, but our room is more than big enough for two. Julia has a single we drew straws and she won. The picture is the view from our window.
Today we had language placement and tomorrow we start our language classes and then in two weeks we start real classes. Turns out they have a new policy and we have class on Fridays so traveling is more complex to plan than I though.
It's still a little overwhelming but amazing.
