The Placement test. And food.

Buongiorno, or for my friends/family reading this back in New England -- Buona mattina. It is 3pm but it has already been a long day. This morning we walked for the first time to the university. It is attached to a mall (?) which is strange but convenient. We took a placement exam to test our abilities with the language. Although I found the test VERY difficult, I placed higher than I thought--success! I'm expecting quite a challenge tomorrow when classes start, but I am equally excited to be speaking only Italian for 4 hours every day. Being in an apartment with 8 Americans, we speak more English than Italian.

Yesterday evening we met our Contemporary history professor, who took us on a brief tour. It was a great chance to see some of the le strade piccole, away from the main road.
