I am in Perugia! I had a good flight over. We made it into Rome and then took a bus to Perugia. 
This is in the main Piazza! We stayed in a hotel the first night and then moved into our apartment! Here are some pictures of what it looks like! On Sunday morning we had an orientation type meeting. It was good to get more info about everything. After that my roommates and I walked around a little bit and got some pizza! 
We were able to check our Internet, which was really nice as well. Then we came back to the apartment to relax before dinner. We walked around a lot before dinner and then had really good pasta! Monday we had our first day of Italian. I love my Italian professor but I guess she is just my professor for
this week and then I have someone else. Anyway there are about 20 kids in my class, and we just started with basic Italian. It’s a lot though, Monday- Thursday 9-12 and then in the afternoon we have an hour of practical stuff (buy groceries, traveling, those type of things). After class Kate and I went to try and get some hangers, and we also went to the notebook store (but they were all sold out!) We also bought a hairdryer and hair straightener which was good. We came back here and just rested for a while. Then Kate took a shower and used the hairdryer and our power went out! Haha! So we tried to fix it but ended up calling our landlord to come fix it. We just sat in the dark for a while. Then our lights got fixed and we went to dinner. I hadn’t been feeling good though so I didn’t eat much. Tuesday I woke up and didn’t feel good at all, so I talked to someone at the school who told me a good place to get medicine. My roommate Jeanette and I signed up for some extracurricular things that should be fun! Tuesday night both Kate and I didn’t feel too well so we went shopping and got some sprite. 
We made pasta with olive oil and watched *Life is Beautiful* which was nice. Then I called home, took a shower and went to bed. Yesterday I had Italian again which I really enjoy. For lunch Kate and I ate a banana and carrots and lettuce, we’re trying to be healthy. Then I went to the afternoon class, which was so boring. Then I went out shopping. I got a new towel and some flowers for the apartment. I
also went to the grocery store to try and get some food I thought would be ok for my stomach. I came back here and did some laundry (which takes about 2 hours) after that we made a family dinner! W
e had pasta and carrots and cucumber. It was good and we had fun. Then after we made a trip to the garbage (we aren’t really sure where it goes, we think in the big public dumpsters.) After we came back and divided the money we have spent. I showered and did some homework and did not feel good so I went to bed. I woke up at 2am and threw up, it was awful. Then in the morning I took some more meds and went to class. I cam back to the apartment and had some crackers .After lunch I went to class again and it was ok. Then I got my books, no idea how much they cost. Oh well! 
Then I went down to the lounge to get on the internet. Earlier Whitney Dupery had facebooked me saying her friend from Trinity was here, so I facebooked him, and then in the lounge he came over and was like hey Im Tom! So it was funny, it was nice to meet him though. So then I uploaded my pictures to facebook. Then Lorna and I skyped which was nice. Shes getting excited to come over and Im excited to be able to see her! After that Kate and I came back to the apartment and just hung out for a while. Erica had a long day of classes so then she came back and feel asleep, so the three of us went out to dinner and Ristorante de Sole and it was good. I started to feel a little better which was very good! We walked around a little (it was very cold out!) 
and got gelato. Then I came back and called home, and then we watched a movie and went to bed (Kate slept on the couch because she spilled water on her bed..haha). So then Kate and I both slept until 11am this morning, and got up and showered and ate breakfast! We all did some errands and now we’re back checking internet again! Classes start on Monday so I am excited about that! Hope all is well! I'll write again soon! Ciao!
