If you are an exchange student you also have to go to class! I think it is a waste of time. . . Let me explain. . . First, you know none of the language, so sitting at home doing Rosetta Stone (language learning online) will help more then sitting in physics where you do not have google translate on hand. I sit in class and observe italian life, take in a few words, and think about memories "all day long." Also, taking notes is miserable... :) I find it so hard - the hardest maybe! I do not know the words, soooo I copy 3 letters at a time and have to look back at the board - it is so slow! I write some words wrong anyway by mistake, oops! The girl I copy from is so sweet, but it took days to figure out that in Italy "n" looks like "m"....and "m" has an extra hump! Also she writes her "l","e","c" all the same way. Just slightly different! Well perks of being an exchange student, things have to look different!
Now view this picture . . . yes now. . . done yet? OK! I feel just like this! So similar really.... just put under what my School thinks I do - Nothing. She can not understand anything! :) Funny thing is, they talk to me all the time, I just shake my head and look like I understand, when really I have no clue what is happening!
Well so far this is me being an exchange student! With help from google translate of course! I have to translate everything I read/write to English! Even still this is AWESOME!
Till next time readers. (At the bottom of my page are some blogs from OTHER PEOPLE read them! Really, reading is what smart people do anyway! Without reading you would always be an idiot. So read some more! Its fun!)

Hey there! I heard too much negative and not enough positive! Your family is proud of you, that's so endearing. Embrace all the loveand caring that is around you. Don't be frustrated now...if in four or six months you can't communicate or understand anyone, then be frustrated. Just remember that a baby has to learn how to crawl before standing, and stand before walking, and walk before running. don't be in such a hurry to run. the observations you make now will mean a lot later, believe it. xoxo
