August 25-

I wasn't exactly planning on writing everyday, but I got a request from my roommate-- shout out to Carolina!! And something interesting did happen today. First, I went to my first Italian mass! I also had my first Italian confession which was a little odd considering I speak very little Italian and the priest spoke no English. I was trying to tell him that I had 8 siblings but he thought I meant 8 kids. I said, "No, I'm only 21. He said, "How many kids do you have?" Yeah, I had to start over on that one. ;) Then I walked around Bologna for hours and hours. It was beautiful, but my feet are killing me! Then I went home to my apartment. 6 other girls will be coming to the apartment in a week, but right now it's just me, alone. :( For those of you who know me well, I don't do alone. But tonight, I didn't have to. Someone rang my doorbell which I thought was a little odd because I don't really know anyone here. It was a nice girl from Holland who lives a floor below me and is part of the same group as the girls I will be living with. Within 2 minutes of her conversation, she ended up kind of inviting herself and her 2 siblings and her 2 friends over for dinner at my apartment. It was so much fun! There was English, Italian, and Dutch being spoken over dinner! They had a little food and I had a little food, and between all of us, we had a great dinner!
