Not much to report. Yesterday we started classes late which was nice and we didn't really do much either. Watched a movie on Egypt. Then I relaxed a little and cleaned up my room. I did some reading and some laundry which worked out nicely. It felt like a very productive day.

It also snowed yesterday which was a nice surprise other than the fact that it was cold. Snow is one of the comforts of home, at least we got snow here even if we didnt get much in MD. It didn't stick but it was beautiful.

So a little tidbit about Italian drivers. Crazy. They drive so fast it scares the heck out of me and everyone else too. I've almost been hit by a car multiple times. You have to be a defensive walker. They also don't even care that speed bumps are there, they do not slow down for nothing. It is scary but hey at least cars generally stay out of the sidewalks (hopefully!)

Today we start Italian lessons I am excited. Friday is the chocolate factory and then next week I am off to Verona. We are going to be staying in towns outside the city to save money because Verona is an expensive city.
