Rotary Youth Day!

Last Sunday, I went to my Host Rotary District's Youth Day. It was a day completely for the youth, such as Rotaract, Interact and, my obvious favorite, Youth Exchange. It was really nice go to this. I got to see all the other exchange students, Laurel, Darcy, Taylor, Claire, Jack, and Alex. It was a great ti listen to everything but nearing the end, being exchange student we were extremely hungry and we were wondering, "WHERE'S THE FOOD?" May I say, that not only was the conference fun but the venue was absolutely beautiful. It was close to the Amalfi Coast. I want to go back!!!!

It's beautiful, right?

My eyes will be forever opened from this experience.

Here's another picture from another trip to Naples. This time for the patron saint's festival, San Gennaro. My classmates and I went to visit the church.

My first week of school

I have finished my first week of school in Italy. My first day, my classmates had a party just for me. I was treated like a celebrity. Everyone is so nice to me. My classes I am taking are PE, Chemical Science, History, History of art, Math, Italian, English, (Thank God), Greek and Latin. I am having difficult understanding but I listen to everything. I see myself learning faster when I listen. I have made many friends and I'm very happy going to the Liceo di Classico in Torre Annunziata.

Learning Italian is pretty tiring with Laurel Porter.
