Last night I guess it poured so today was pretty gloomy and it was drizzling on and off all day. We had to go to school for our second day of orientation, and once we got there we realized there lists of names on different doors to split the students up into smaller groups. We came to the main room to read those names and all of my roommates names were on the list except for mine and Claire’s. The next room Claire found her name, but still my name wasn’t posted. Finally the 3rd and last room had my name on it and I found myself in a room full of architecture students who all knew each other and were connected at the hip – not so welcoming. I never thought I would be so happy to see my one roommate Jackie from the other side of the apartment walk in the room like almost exactly at the last minute before class started.
The teacher that we had (I’m not even sure she told us her name) spoke very little English and immediately made us start learning Italian. After a while of the Italian lesson she gave us a short break and took my group to the library which is actually like a hangout for many kids both at the high school and college level. They had many floors to the library and the very top was like an open area with a roof and you could see roofs of buildings and the hills in the distance and it was extremely pretty! We got an application for a library card and I think it would be something cool to get even if I don’t use it, because it could be like a memorabilia type thing. After the library she took us to this huge supermarket called Billa, but I swear it seemed like it was way in the boondocks! And all of a sudden me and Jackie realized that our teacher just left us there so her and I luckily found our way back to the apartment and just laid around for the rest of the day.
