Right now I feel like writing about the things that suck about Perugia. There's not many, but they include: I'm pretty sure my french roommate hates me, because (for example) today a few of us made amazing pasta for lunch, and I didn't know that she was even in the apartment, and then when we were sitting in the living room she walked by and I said "Ciao!" (makes sense, right?) and she totally ignored me, like I would be greeting anyone else in the room. Then she walked through like five more times without looking at me, and closed the door to the kitchen when she went in there. It was so weird!! Also, I don't really know whats going on in class about 90% of the time. I really enjoy classes, and I feel like I'm learning a lot, but I still am totally clueless most of the time. What else... OH! My kitchen is gross. I cleaned some of it today, but a lot of the dirtiness is permanent, and I think I'm going to try to avoid cooking in there much, and just go to other people's houses. And the bathroom is gross too. There's no shower curtain, and so water goes everywhere (its supposed to be that way) and then there's hair all over the floor from my roommate, who, I don't even know her name yet, and I don't know if I ever will, because she doesn't want to talk to me. But yea, the hair is disgusting. I think thats pretty much all that sucks, I guess also that its hard to communicate with people from home, but that is a different kind of suck. Haha, anyway...
Tonight the Umbria Jazz Festival starts!!! Yay! Pretty much, how it works, is approximately a million muscisians come to Umbria, and especially Perguia, and play music all over the city during all hours of the day and night. Its going to be awesome, and I'm going to just listen to jazz all the time. Woohoo!
Tomorrow we're going to Assissi with our group from UofO. I think Luke (program director assistant) may be giving us a tour... I'm not sure though. He gave us a tour of Perugia the other day and it was hilarious. He just has very dry humor, and I really appreciate it.
One thing that is starting to become habitual is that a few of us meet at one cafe for cappucinos every morning. I really enjoy the coffee here. I didn't drink it at all until I came here, and I'll probably be addicted by the time I come home. And gelato is also becoming a everyday occurance, it is so delicous!
I really enjoy the people who came to Perugia from the UofO, its a really random group of people, but that makes it even more often. Everytime we get together I am totally entertained by the quirks that everyone exhibits. Haha, yea, its really great. There's a few really awkward people, and I just love it.
Well, that was a random post. I've got a crapload of homework, so I'm going to go take care of some of that right now. Ciao!

erin!! im sure your roommate doesnt actually hate you. she is probably just having a hard time with adjusting to studying abroad?! im sure she will come around. but until then, have fun with the people in your program that rock!!
Well said Liz...all you have to do is ask her "Est-ce que tu voudrais être mon amie?" If she says no, then you know she hates your guts. Anything else and you're golden...assuming she answers you, that is...
Erin, no one could hate you! What a challenge though. "Love those who are hard to love". Does she have other friends? I wonder where she went the days before class started. I bet she is in the Secret Service.
i agree with your mom. maybe she is in the french version of the FBI. and is forced to maintain silence in case she blows her cover. or maybe the stereotype about french people is true...
