la ragazza americana il primo giorno di scuola

first day of school! very different the teachers move and the students dont. there are only 22 students in my class (4a linguistico) and everyone already knows eachother and the teachers. when i walked into the classroom it went completely silent lol. over the past days i have learned to recognize one phrase very well, la ragazza americana, the american girl. that is how i am introuduced and referred to. they love my california accent here and think its hilarious when i say los angeles california. anyway my classes are fisica, la historia del arte, historia, italiano, francese, latino, matematica, religione, and inglese. in english that is physics,art history,history, italian literature, french, latin,  math (not sure what kind yet i have that tomorrow), catholic religion, and english. the kids, even the stupid boys ( you know the kind), are like crazy smart compared to americans. they speak the languages so well. i mean they are reading books in these languages like 1984, a christmas carol, animal farm, shakespeare! we get to read shakespeare in english class and act it out so thats good something i can understand finally. the teachers were nice kinda. some of the tried to include me and others jsut ignored me. the ones that ignored me i raised my hand and made myself part of the conversation which seemed to work pretty well. school starts at 7 50 and is over at 12 50 and is from monday to saturday. its like a super easy amount of time. at school it is inappropriate to wear anything that doesnt go past your calves and cover your shoulders.. did that make sense? lol now i dont speak english or italian it is really surprising how when you try to learn something new you forget something else. t-ahirts and jeans no tanktops or shorts. so that leaves me with 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants that i can wear to school... lol  i need to go shopping! already it is colder than in california! today was cloudly and, piove, rain. very very beautiful! i need to buy shoes lol mine are all wet haha. so school was good! in march the class is taking a trip to london to watch shakespeare i think we will be gone for 5 days. i hope my visa will let me go all the permissio soggiorno  ( residence permit) stuff is like super confusing. things are good. io sto bene, i am fine. its not exactly fun yet because it is still uncomfortable and new but i hope in a couple weeks it will be okay. my friend Giami in Denmark says that the first week is the hardest but that after a month it gets better. more school tomorrow...... maybe i will finally remember peoples names lol.
