Yours truly will be featured as a "Student Spotlight" in the upcoming Bologna Consortial Studies Program newsletter. I know. I bet you are just as excited as I am to read about my internship. I bet you can also tell just how sarcastic I am being. While I love both my internship and being abroad, this information was sprung on me as I was trying to study for an exam today. So instead of cramming my head full of knowledge on how Italy was unified for the first time in 1861 by Cavour and Garibaldi, I was explaining how I taught my 5-year-olds the parts of the body using the song "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" and by tracing themselves and gluing down cards labeling the parts of their body. Needless to say, I didn't feel as prepared as I could have for my exam but I still think I managed to do well.
My life is continuing on here in Bologna just like your lives are continuing on from wherever you are reading from. This past Saturday night, my friend Maried, my roommates Romina and I were invited to a dinner with my roommates and their friends who were visiting. It stared off really awkward because we sat the the end of the table and the table started to fill up everywhere but at our end. It got even more awkward when one of our roommates made everyone move down a seat so that he didn't have to sit by us. Things got better once the wine was served and we actually ended up making friends with some of their friends. So after the 18 of us polished off what I think ended up being 12 bottles of wine, we headed out to the bars the finish the night!
