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!

"The further you travel, the smaller the world becomes."

Well isn't THIS the truth. Anyways. About two weeks ago, a group of five friends and I took a 10 day backpacking trip of Europe. To sum it up, we went from Rome to Portugal to Spain to the Czech Republic. We visited the cities of Lisbon, Seville, Barcelona and Prague. It was incredible. It was 10 straight days LIFE LESSONS, tests of PATIENCE, and adventures. Here's a little picture summary of the trip: The group, camped out at the train station in Rome, waiting to go to the airport. Night one of our trip: Sleeping in the Rome airport. Fun Fact: Airports are, in fact, NOT fun to sleep in. Especially when all you packed is one backpack, no blankets, no pillows, and no mattresses. An even MORE fun fact: The Rome airport is cold, especially in October, and especially at night. The next morning, we flew to Lisbon, Portugal! Enjoying the beautiful sunset in Lisbon. (Not posed or anything.) The girls (Mandi, Teagan, me, Allison) walking along the water in Lisbon on our firs...

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...
