L'avventura di una vita (:: Like a Roller Coaster

Well, this last week and a half have been so up and down I don't know where to start. So, here I go.

1. Everyone told me before I left that exchange was hard, the hardest thing that they have ever done. And I tried to understand that before I left, but I didn't ever truly grasp the concept of it until this last week and a half. And it is so true, it is so hard, but at the same time I absolutely love it. My feelings are so complicated right now that I doubt that I could explain it correctly.

2. School. Oh gosh. So, school isn't hard yet, I just started on Monday, and most classes we just sit and talk and the teacher just sits there and does who knows what. The classes that I have taken so far are:
English- My easiest class! Even though my teacher uses the completely wrong grammer. example: she tried to pluralize "you" even though you don't really need to, and made the students write "use" "Why do use need to learn English?" was the question. I was too scared to correct her.
P.E.-Another easy one! We played volleyball, and yes, I fell.
Math- I understand this too, because they are learning something I have learned before, so I feel like a genius in this class. :) Plus, the teacher speaks English and told me that he will give me English assignments that also have Italian written on them so that it will help me learn!
Biology- So, I have taken biology for the last 2 years, (human biology, and regular biology), and I pretty much understand what we are learning. Mendall's Laws. And the teacher has an English textbook that I use which helps.
Latin- During this class my mind is like "...What the heck?" I pretty much don't even pay attention, and the teacher doesn't expect anything from me, so for now that will do. I think that I am going to switch out of the class soon. Hopefully at least.
Italian- I don't understand 99% of what goes on in this class, because it is complicated Italian grammar stuff. The teacher hasn't really said anything to me, and I am pretty sure that I am switching to the lower class for Italian.
Physics- We haven't really had class yet.. I'll let you know when we do.
Philosophy- Nothing is understood. Niente! Probably switching out.

So school, it goes from 8:30am to 1:30pm, and we have 3 classes a day. About 15 minutes into our second class we have a 15 minute break, which kids usually use to smoke or eat breakfast, and then we go back to class. All my classmates are really nice, and all talk to me and help translate things. And for any of you that are on exchange you understand how amazing and nice this is. We speak together in a mix of very bad English and very bad Italian, and hope that one another understands. My only problem is how fast that they talk. I understand so much more if they slow down. "Like you need to talk at an uncomfortably slow pace." -Nicole DuBois. (Another exchanger). Oh and we have school on Saturdays. So much for TGIF.

3. I love the beach. I have been like 3 times since I have been in Sardinia and it is beautiful. Sunday I went boating and the water was so blue and clear and beautiful. The beach(and chocolate) solves all problems.

that's all I can think to say right now, more to come. Here's a few pictures:
