Today was interesting and long; probably the longest day here so far. Everyone was out if it and tired. I, myself was really pooped. There were many things that happened today though even though not all of them were as fun as previous days here.
In Italian class, I learned to say the date and the days of the week!
Che giorno è oggi?
Oggi è martedì il primo di settembre.

In our Italy Today class with Prof.ssa Sara, we learned about the up comings of Sansepolcro and how it became a city. It was quite interesting to know that Sansepolcro means “Christ’s Tomb” in Italian. We were told to take certain pictures within the city walls that give evidence to the history that we’ve learned thus far. Everything has been so intriguing. I hope we are able to learn more about the Italian culture and way of life.
Lunch was awesome as always. We had pasta in tomato paste, artichoke heart, cucumber and tomato salad, and sliced pork. Don’t you wish you were us?
We had our first ‘community meeting’ as the Meredith group community. We talked about our arrangements here at the palazzo and a contractual agreement as members of the community. The contract consisted of courtesy, boy hours, and personal time.
We did not go out for dinner; instead we ate leftovers.
Around 7:30 pm was our Learn to Travel Lab part of the course. It lasted for almost two hours. We talked more about knowing where we would want to go and how we would do so. It is very important to plan ahead what we are doing so that we are not delayed in any way that would mess up our travels. It’s nice to know that we get to try out our travel experiences first as a group with Dr. Webb and Mr. John Rose. I am hoping to learn a lot from them.
After our meeting, we girls decided to go out for some gelato…
I learned the hard way that I should lay off the dairy considering the fact that I am lactose intolerant. It still hurts painfully right now as well.

Well it’s time to Skype my family. Ciao!
