Week 3.

So my camera is broken. We'll see how I deal with this. I figured out if I hit it hard enough while it's trying to turn on, then sometimes it works....sooo we'll see.
This week has been awesome. In my classes, we're finally started to really getting into the topics and I love it. Social life has calmed down a lot...and everyone in general is just a lot more comfortable with doin their thaaang and not feeling so pressured to participate in EVERYTHING.
Monday: Classes, met a bunch of friends at our favorite bar (La Tana)  to book our fall break trip (portugal, spain and prague) and a trip to London (waaddaaap KAITLIN BURLINGAME), did some homework, used their wifi, and sang some karaoke. SO MUCH FUN.
Tuesday: Classes, home-made dinner with friends, typical Tuesday in Perugia.
Wednesday: Classes, house-cleaning, studying for first Exam in Italian Language, 1.20 Euro Pizza and Gelato...and a night in with the roomies. SO RELAXING.
Thursday: TODAY! Classes, first Exam for Italian Language Class (totally rocked it) homework, packing and OFF TO FLORENCE as soon as everyone is done with class! We're spending the night in Florence...meeting some friends who are studying there...then tomorrow morning taking a train to CINQUE TERRE for a weekend of hiking, swimming in the sea, and appreciating the beautiful land of Italia!

Picture update of the trip and everything else when I get back....and figure out my camera situation. :)
Ciao!

A note my dear teacher friend in Minnesota sent me that I think everyone (ESPECIALLY first year teachers, TFA and non-TFA) should read. Hannah, If we’re being honest here, this is the first time I’ve read your blog post, BUT, I’m very glad I did. And here’s why… I feel the same way. You are bored living in the Delta. I am bored living in St. Cloud. I feel there is no one here who is under the age of 30 and not married. My college roommate lives nearby, but she doesn’t like driving into town on the weekends. I drove out to see her a few times. Then I stopped. Since then, she’s seen me once, after work. She has yet to drive into town just to see me. I feel like I should make friends, but I spend 12 hours at school and I live alone. I tend to leave on the weekends so I can see people I know. So, I tell myself I don’t have time to make friends. I convince myself next semester will be easier. Maybe I’ll make friends then. As far as teaching goes, I’ve been barely keeping my head above w...

My beautiful and wonderful friend Anna Ayers Looby sent me a link today that really got me thinking. Here's the link: http://sspw.dpi.wi.gov/sspw_physicaled Basically it gave me the flashing reminder that my students NEED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY in their daily lives. Everyone should have a total of 60 minutes of some sort of physical activity every single day. Since my students only get P.E. twice a week, most of them just want to eat their snack instead of run around at recess, and the rest of their 8 hour day is spent sitting....majority of those minutes depend on me. Now, when your school and state have a deathly fear of failing and standards, objectives, mastery, and test scores are at the core of everything you do, it's easy to forget about the importance of educating well-rounded children. If you'd asked me to add physical activity to my classroom during my first year of teaching, I probably would have started crying (ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME I CAN HARDLY GET ALL THE...
