When I cam to Italy I sighed up into an intensive Italian course, which I finished this past week. All in all, I strongly suggest it to anyone who is curious. I made my first connections there, and I have really applied all I have learned in the past two weeks.
Now let’s get to the important part: settling in. Although everyone’s mind functions differently, it gradually dawned on me that I was starting to establish a reliable routine. Now that my actual classes begin on Monday, I have a schedule, a better understanding of my finances, and a firm grasp of the local transit system. Above all, I have tried to make each day matter.
I made a short schedule of the places I wanted to see in order to accomplish this. To do so I incorporating earlier research on student discounts for online tickets (which many museums provide) in each town or city. I made sure every stop was intentional and that the appropriate individuals were there to enjoy it. Interests can cause travel groups to change, and that’s perfectly okay.
All in all, this has been a really fulfilling experience. I’m happier, better prepared, and eager for the upcoming months. I am enthusiastic to go further into my schooling and see more of Italy. If you’re thinking about going on a similar adventure, enjoy the ride and keep in mind that you have a chance to learn and develop every day.
Ciao!
