Lost and lonely

I had a bad day today. I'm very confused as to why I'm here actually. Not that I don't enjoy it, because I've had some really neat experiences so far. But I don't speak Italian and most kids already have their friends from Syracuse. Needless to say, I feel very isolated. I keep asking myself, why didn't I choose Spain where I could at least carry out a conversation lasting more than two seconds? And saying to myself, what is it like at Bowdoin right now? Its been really rainy here and I got rained on a good portion of the day, considering I walk everywhere. My 8:45 class is too early for my taste and the teacher is teaching us Italian so fast I'm feeling very overwhelmed. My next class was art history and a group of girls and I got very lost trying to find it, because the class had traveled to a piazza near the center of the city for the lecture, but we went to the wrong place! I missed half the lecture and scribbled voraciously in my notebook...can i use that word there? whatever. Next I had to make my way to the Fuji art studio which is SO FAR AWAY. Not fun, I had metalsmithing there, or jewelry making, but the teacher made us wait a whole hour before she even acknowledged us. It was only me and my friend Jackie who's from Bowdoin too. She quickly showed us what to do, though it seemed like she didnt care, and I spent the next three hours sawing little lines into a tiny plate of metal. THEN i got lost and walked helplessly around the duomo for a lifetime and missed the whole Obama innauguration. AND i miss everyone. And I miss jamie. And i miss peanut butter. So I bought some. At least that was a good part of my day. GAAH! Im going to be late for dinner so I have to go. Maybe tomorrow will be better. But I miss america!
