I want to go to a Florentina game

I'm trying to think about what exciting news I have for all of you but it just feels like an average Wedesnesday. I had a site visit today, we went to the church of San Lorenzo and discussed the architecture and how it is deductive and not additive, meaning evyerthing builds off each other and if one thing is changed everything changes because the elements rely on each other. I got back to campus from walking to the center to find that my 1pm Italian class was cancelled today! So, I was able to get some Health and Nutrition reading done outside in the sun. I am feeling better, although I'm not totally cleared up so I saw the doctor this afternoon. The appointment was short and brief. He gave me a prescription for Augmuntion in case my sypmtoms get worse and I can use that anywhere in Italy...thankfully they seem to be getting better.



Big update: I have officially decided what I am doing during my fall break: I am going to Greece! I signed up for a trip through a travel company for students called "Bus2Alps" and we are taking a cruise to Greece and will be in Athens and Corfu. We also can go on a day trip to Aeginia. Picking where to go over fall break was not an easy task, so I am excited that this is finally set in stone. My parents are coming to Florence right before I leave for Greece, so with this departure date I will get to see them for at least a couple days.



We have had a tournament this week for soccer at school. We had two games on Monday and we had a game yesterday but I had a late class so I couldn't go. We have another game tonight though, at 6 so that should be fun! Its fun to play soccer here. I actually scored in Monday night's second game. I also went to pilates again yesterday.



I think one of the most entertaining days in Florence are days when Florentina has soccer games!! We can see the stadium from the apartment so at dinner last night we could hear all the cheering and watch the television as well as view the stadium during dinner. Florentina beat Liverpool last night 2-0 so that was a big deal! When I got out of pilates to take the bus home, the traffic was insane and all the buses were filled with people headed to the stadium. There are plenty of motorcyles and bikes to begin with, but last night I had never seen so many in my life. they were parked in every corner and they zoomed in and out of lanes like bees getting ahead of our bus. I am definitely going to go to a soccer game if not a couple, I just need to buy my titckets. I can't wait for that experience. Ludo, my host sister, gets very excited about the soccer games, so does Vittoria. Alessio, our host father, not as much, but both times Florentina scored last night Vittoria would run into our room jumping up and down with excitement. Soccer is huge in Europe, to say the least.

I'm sure I will have much to update you on after the weekend as I am headed to Sicily this weekend!
