Okay, so, some people, many of whom are Colin Penley, have bugged me to update my blog. Essential facts: I have been living in a hotel since I got here and I do not yet have an apartment. Rooms are generally not available until the beginning of February, and all the places that Adam and I have been looking at are either kinda sketchy, really far away, or are no longer available when one of us calls to say we'd take it. (clarification: we're looking for seperate rooms/apartments, but are doing the research together. Which really confuses most of the people we see.) On Monday I got my suitcase and yesterday I got my backpack. Italian airports are not very helpful. Long story, maybe to be told later. University classes start the middle of February, and right now the nine kids in the Ferrara program are taking a class at a language learning agency, which isn't too bad, but nothing too terribly exciting. I'm still pushing for the "come to class one day dressed as pirates" idea, but we'll see. When I get a chance to gather my thoughts, I will try to do so in the hotel, so that y'all get a nice, coherent, composed post that I can write at my leisure without having to think about how much it's costing me to use the computer at this internet point.
So basically, I'm well, a little bit confused, and miss you all, but it's all good.
Peace and Love

Ciao bellissimo! Ha, I'm going to write in English here since you do too.
Anyway, I hope you're having fun, and I know that you'll end up having an AMAZING time. I do remember though that the first month in Ferrara can be really difficult and frustrating and lonely, especially when you don't have an apartment. Maybe you're having a great time, in which case yay! (and ignore all of this)...but if you're feeling a bit discouraged, it's okay (I definitely did, and so did my friends, and pretty much everyone else I know who arrived in Ferrara in January). But eventually the fog will dissipate (literally)!
Good luck with everything! See you in a WEEK!!!
