Wow, I can't beleive how fast time has gone. It is almost already December, and I feel like I just got here. Things have been going so well. My host mom and I have been getting really close. I am so lucky to be living with her. She is constantly showering me with hugs, kisses, and compliments. I don't know what my life would be like without her.
School is going well. I have switched into a lower level of Spanish and French. Hopefully when I come back to America I will not only speak Italian, but also a little Spanish and French.
The language is getting so much easier. No one speaks in English to me anymore, and for the most part, I understand everything. I dont know when it happened, but it is as if one day the language just clicked for me. I am by no means fluent, but I am getting there. The verbs are the hardest part of the language, but I think once I get those down, I will be able to speak with as much ease when I am speaking english. This process is really weird. I feel like my brain is a mix of Italian and English. Some days I can only remember the italian word for something. And as far as writing and spelling in English, I am having a lot of trouble. So if this makes no sence, I apologize.
I feel like I am finally fitting in here. I have made two groups of friends: The foriegn language girls and the art boys. At the begining of november I spent 3 days at the local art school. It was really fun, but I decided to stick with the language school. But when i was at the art school I met a group of 4 boys (Ady, Diego, Eddison, Luca). I have been going out with them a lot lately. The language girls are my friends from the Foriegn language school (Fedarica, Laura, Rosella, Marta). Both groups are really nice, and it is wonderful to have friends here.
I am really excited for the coming month. Already the streets are feeled with christmas lights. IN the center square of brescia, there is a christmas market with lots of little treats and goodies. Although I am sad not to be coming home for natale, I am excited to see how the italians celebrate it.
Until next time...Baci e Ciao!!!!!!

This past weekend I took a trip to Venezia with my host mo. Venezia is completely amazing. I loved it.
