Pics. Continued again...

(All of the photo descriptions got out of order! I am so sorry, but it's too late for me to fix it). 

Yoga in the gym (Rose, Freshmen were NOTHING compared to these kids! You, Cournteym, and Alysha would have just broken down crying if you had to try to control them or keep them quiet!  (I don't think they know what it means: "Be quiet"!)

Public water fountain 

A display at la traccia, learning about mideival history in this area!

The teacher "Bose", I think, who I ment when I was a little girl!!! She remembered me, and I had THOUGHT I recognized her! She had given me a little book and pencil that I still have in my "Bubba Box" ! :') 

After playing in the rain ! 

I've been so surprised (and sad) to see a lot of unnexpected parts of American culture filter through here. Chiara's friend  (the rich one) had a playboy bunny pillow on her bed, and when Chiara was looking for a song to put on the slideshow, she typed in "Love, Sex, American Express." I said, "Chiara, perche tu scrivi queste parole!?" (Why you write these words!?) and she explained that they like the techno music. "Yes, but do you know what they mean?" "yes, yes: Love, Sex, American Express!" It's pretty sad, and very crazy. 

This is the picture I drew today when I was half asleep getting through the school day (I thought I was done with school!!! ;) I can already talk better after reading my mom's blog! thanks! ;D).  The title, "Non posso Adormentarsi" means " I can't fall asleep). Hopefully tonight that will not be the case, because I feel much happier after a good day with Chiara's friends. I was able to speak much better Italian and understand a lot more! It can only get better...

In the computer lab with Chiara and her friends 

This is their SCHOOL!!!!! =0 

I still can't figure out how to edit pictures... but I made this for you :'D

"Hi! My friends and family in Albuquerque (also california ;D) -Melissa"

Oh, hay Andrew: I can't remember and I've been curious: what is the name of our new theater!? (It's been so difficult to try to express the idea of acting in a musical, here! :0 ) 

Bye!
