12 January, 1999

Today, I felt as though I was getting the hand of this. I dressed up today and felt as though I blended in a little more. In my Art and Architecture class, Prof. Holmes was sick, so I got up for nothing. Rina, Monica, Carrie, and I went for espresso at a little bar afterwards.

My Modern Italy class with Dr. Carrabino should be a great class. Today was great and it was just an intro. I think that I will enjoy the smaller, more intimate group of people. I feel more recognizable, something that makes me want to do good. I went to the library, which is very nice here. I got an internet account tonight at the Village Internet Point and got some e-mails from Jim, Doug, and Allison. They are great friends and I will miss them. I need to send out some postcards and stuff to them and to my family. The trip to Pisa on Saturday should be fun e sabado andiamo a Assisi! I got a little frog candle for Rina from one of the cute little boutique stores.
