3 Month Update

Happy 3 months! Okay. I'm still alive. I promise. I know I haven't updated my blog in two months, but nothing too exciting has happened. I have gotten into a routine, so I haven't found anything interesting to write about. Here are some updates that I can remember:

• I have gone on a few trips with the exchange students that are also staying in Sicily; they are a really awesome group of kids. 
• Still haven't gotten homesick.
•  I haven't weighed myself since being here, but I am pretty sure I have put on some pasta weight. 
• Still can't roll my R's which sucks and I get made fun of for it a lot.
•  I switched classes so I now take Latin and Greek instead of Spanish and French. Don't ask how that happened. I still have no idea what's going on in class, but I like my classmates ten times better in this class, and the teachers are nicer.
• I can understand and read Italian pretty well, but speaking it is still really difficult.
• Went to the police station last week to apply for my residence permit. The cop in the front was smoking, drinking, and watching TV while working. Sounds like my brother's dream job.
• They have talked about maybe making me switch families. That better not happen though, or I might get depressed.
• Got my report card yesterday. Not terrible.
• My straightener still doesn't work so my hair still looks like crap.
• My English teacher and I fight on a classly (making up words now) basis on pronunciation of words. His fake British accent is slightly more than I can handle.
• Eaten a lot of 5 course meals. They are really tasty, but sometimes the meal doesn't end until after midnight, and at that point, I'm too tired for dessert.
• It got cold here even though it wasn't supposed to.
• I miss Ranch Dressing and Dorito's a heck of a lot.
• Started the "Game of Thrones" series in mid-November. Wanted to be done by Christmas, but as of today I'm only at location 34000 of 64258 on my kindle (Locations are different than page numbers but I'm not going to try to explain those to you readers), so that's probs not going to happen.
• I go to Zumba three times a week. I'm one of the least coordinated out of my class, so that's "fun"
• It doesn't really feel like Xmas because the sun is still shining. (I will do a post later on Christmas in Italy once I actually experience it).

That's all I can remember for right now. Hope everything is good stateside; I'll see you sooner than I'd like. Merry Christmas (or Chanukkah or Kwanzaa) ; Happy New Year. God Bless.
