Tuesdays are my light days. I only have Italian, so I got to sleep in this morning before heading to my pre-departure meeting about my Spring Break trip to Tunisia. It's going to be so amazing-I've never been to an Islamic country before, and of course the ruins are supposed to be incredible.
I decided today that I need more Roman culture. I live with American students and take classes at the American university, and my Italian is lousy, so I tend to be much more isolated from the real Italy than I want to be. To change that, I've decided to make myself got to 1 museum a week, so at least I can understand more of the history and the culture of this country.
I've been reading the study abroad blog of a girl who graduated from Hamilton a few years before me. It's so comforting to see the parallels between our study abroad experiences. I think sometimes in our desire to validate people's unique characteristics, we forget to acknowledge just how similar we all are. This is the beauty of study abroad-not only do you get to see how different human beings are, you are also reminded that we're one people.
