School in the past two weeks has been pretty boring. Just the same old classes all day and sometimes lectures on Tuesday nights for our lectures and tours class. There has been some excitement though in the past 2 weeks. First on Tuesday November 8th the prime minister of Italy resigned. We then found out that next Tuesday that there was going to be a new prime minister maybe the next day. The Italians call him Super Mario. He is the exact opposite of the old prime minister. It turned out that he did become prime minister the next day. Well on Thursday that week there was a youth revolt. A huge youth riot walked down the street right in front of the hotel we are living in! It had a huge group of students and even a truck with speakers and people yelling about the new government and playing horrible 90’s music. It was really cool to be able to have a bird’s eye view of what was happening so to speak. The police completely shut down the street in front of the hotel so the students took over the whole street. I went to Milan with Alex on Sunday and spent some money on clothes. It was really fun. We walked through the expensive stores and took pictures of them like tourist. Well that’s all the excitement for now!!
ciao bella!
