So pretty!!

Life in Siena has been amazing. I have started Italian classes but I still don't really understand when most people talk to me. They all speak to way to fast and I can pick up a word maybe once or twice. I am looking forward to when I can actually understand Italian and what people are saying to me.
My apartment is great and I live seriously like 15 feet from the Campo in an old building but my apartment is surprisingly huge. The past few days I have just spent walking around and discovering little places around the city. I have seen a lot a lot of cute places but I'm not quite sure exactly how to get back there. The city just gets more and more beautiful every time I walk around.
The other night we went to a beautiful dinner in the middle of the city garden. It was just gorgeous but the walk back up the hill was a killer. I swear by the end of the semester I am going to have the best gluts. With all these hills I really have no idea how women wear high heels I have a tough enough time with flats.
Siena is pretty quite at night apparently there is no nightlife, so I guess we'll just have to find other things to do. I still can't believe that I will be living here for four months. There are a lot of tourist here still but according the my Italian roommate the tourist season is in it's last throws. When the university starts classes there should be more students here so maybe we'll meet more Italian students. My roommates are just great and we have been hanging out a lot with the other IES apartment of girls who are all really nice. It is such a great group of girls and we really just go out to eat and hang out at cafes and talk and walk around. Life here is pretty calm and I'm loving it so far.
