Sitting in the Tommy bar/cafe with my friend Francesca. This morning we took the placement test and set foot for the first time in the Universita per Stranieri. The ceilings are beautiful in the building with ancient greek looking relief and painted blue. That is where I will be taking classes. Soon after we took the placement test I was placed in the B1 level, the first half of intermediate. Later we took the mini metro to the largest grocery store in Perugia. It was slightly overwhelming trying to find everything and deciding what to buy, but I ended up with pasta, pesto, fruit, cereal, milk, dish soap, toothpaste, and a reusable bag to put it all in. I cannot wait until it is warm enough to get gelato from the many gelaterie in the area. I met some other girls when we took the test this morning, one from France and one from Holland. It is the French girl's birthday today, and she knows no one, so we will take our new friend out tonight for a celebration after we have dinner with the program people. One hundred more students arrive today who are taking General Studies classes!
