So last week I started university, and it is completely different here to what I am used to in Manchester. The teacher stands in front of the class speaking in Italian and people just walk out if they feel like it!!! I'm finding it all a bit difficult to ajust to, as I don't know anyone in my classes, and I don't feel confident enough to tey and speak to the italians, because they all look at me as if I'm some sort of alien, but I'm sure it will get better and my understanding of the teacher will improve!
Had a bit of a crazy week, went to Perugia on Thrusday and sat and watched a play in Italian, was a bit disappointed with myself though, as I didn't understand what the hell was going on! But anyway, after the play we went out for a typical Italian meal, it was absolutely delicious, and the guys who drove us to Perugia were the actors in the play, and their director paid for our meal and drinks... score!
It was a really nice evening and I of course sampled the Perugian ice-cream; not quite as amazing as Ancona but a very close second :)
We drove home to Macerata then decided to go out, and managed to drink far too much again and stay out til ridiculous o'clock...but that seems to be the norm here so I just roll with it!
Had a fantastic day on Friday, Gema's brother was visiting from Spain, and he had rented a car, so he took me Gema and Ezgi to Civitanova and loreto, and we had pizza and ice cream by the sea, it was perfect! Friday night I decided to stay in 'cos I was shattered, and had to wake up at 8am on Saturday because we were going to see the caves at Frasassi!
Saturday morning was a slight killer, 8am wake ups have not happened in a while, but thank God I was fresh due to the clever decision of staying at home Friday night. The bus journey was 2 hours, which was perfect for a little nap. When we got to the caves everyone was starving so we all bought hots dogs (which were A-MAZING) and then we went round the caves. We weren't technically allowed to take pictures but I snook a few :)
Saturday night was uneventful as I was feeling a bit poop, and sunday I used as my sleeping day, which was well needed.
Monday night called for more Kareoke and last night saw me going to an italian houseparty and speaking lots of drunkern italian; I always feel fluent after a few drinks!!!!!
Tonights plans are 4porte for more table dancing and trying to get free drinks!
Ah the erasmus life.....
