April :O
I cannot believe that it is ALREADY MAY!!!! Woahhh man, stop the clock! 2 months more! I cant imagine leaving...well actually I can, and I do it a lot, and it makes me stressed out. Like I have seen on the Exchange Student. page on facebook, I would agree, i feel like at this point, it is very very similar to what I felt before leaving the USA. Looking at the calender, counting the days, a mix of excitement, sadness, and just a bunch of questions in my head. At this point, whenever I think of the USA, look at pictures of my house, it feels like when I saw pictures of my Italian family, my Italian house/city. It doesn't seem familure anymore, more like a distant memory. It's strange, really really strange.
In any case...this month has been great! The first weekend in April I went with my family to a ropes/zipline corse, in the mountains...more like hills...near padova. It was so much fun! I was so nervous all the time that I would fall, but I didn't (and your eally couldn't because you were in a harness and there was always at least one rope attaching you to the line above you) and every time I got the the next tree, a stable position, i let out a huge breath of relief! I made it! I know it's strange that I would be scared...you're probably saying "Sara, you went to another country by yourself, left everything you knew, took on school and all the other challenges, and your scared of falling?" And well, yeah the answer is yes. But in the end it was a ton of fun! :) Alessia and Daniele watched, while enrico and I did the corse, and Nicola was content with just ziplining...and then tried an easy corse with the instructor (because he was under the age/hight limit)...
here are some pictures....
The week before spain I had two oral tests, one for italian on the "exile plot" of the Divina Commedia (Dante), and then another in philosophy. I got a 8 (out of 10) on the one in Italian, and a 7- on the one in Philosophy. Really really awesome :DDD
Then there was the birthday party of Nicola. It was fun for him and enrico, but after the 2-3 hours, Alessia and I were so tired. Alessia said "it's lucky that birthdays only happen once a year" ahahahahaha
Then, before you know, it was time for spain! I didn't take a ton of pictures of the people, more of the places...those kind of pictures are more boring. Sorry. Oh well... The first afternoon we went sight seeing around La Garriga...the town that we stayed in. I cant really explain the significance of the house that we saw, spanish is hard to follow, but i can undesrtand generally what they say. then the picture of all of us with hats underground is not too good, but we were in a underground refuge where the citizens of the town hid during one of the civil wars of spain. Then the other days we went to a museum, house, and a huge church called "la sagrada famiglia" all done by this artist named Gaudi. (And then we saw other churches...like italy, spain has many many many churches) One house had no angles, it was curved and sort of circular. Then we also went to see the "Palau de la musica catalana" which is like this theater built by Gaudi. Its not huge...but really beautiful. I really loved it. Here are a few pictures.
