So, I've been in Italy about 2 weeks now.
Florence is a beautiful city. We're not far from il Duomo di Firenze--a five minute walk, maybe--and the school is a five minute walk away as well.
The professori are very friendly at SRISA, and I definitely feel like I will learn a lot, but so far everything is SO BUSY. Maybe eventually I'll get used to being woken up by street cleaners every 5 AM, but for now I (and my housemates) are definitely not, haha.

Hopefully I will have more to post soon. Keeping up with life is definitely a challenge right now.
I'm slowly getting back in to the swing of things. Life has had so many horrible turns and I do hope that this is the beginning of something positive for me.
