Today was the start of our scholling term. The Universita` per Stranieri (University for Foreigners) is about a 15 minute walk from our residence. it's right outside the city walls, mext to the train station and a small shopping center. We had a placement exam in the morning. it consisted of a 1 1/2 hr written exam and a short oral exam. There are six possible levels of study at the Uni: A1 & A2, B1 &B2, and C1 & C2. I have been placed at the B1 level, which is the intermediate level. Classes start tomorrow and will be Monday-Friday 8:30am-1:30pm. I'm excited to start school but ofcourse apprehensive seeig as I have no idea what classes will be like or how class is conducted. Ci vedremo... (we will see...)
Today is the day I'm taking to finalize what I need to get. Many stores were closed because this past weekend was a holiday. My alarm clock broke so I need a new one. I need to exchange money, I need a satchel bag (they're all the rage here) and there are lots of good sales going on so some shopping is in order. YAY SHOPPING!!
As a follow-up to my last post, I talked with my Art History professor yesturday when she took us on a tour of the city and YES a lot of people in Siena own a dog. And because there are hardly any gardens, grass, backyards, etc, people have no choice but to walk their dogs around the city. Dogs are fascinating creatures so I felt it necessary to post about them.
Un bacio!
