A few thoughts after my first week of classes

I have officially been to all my classes and I'm pretty happy!


Here are my random thoughts:
*I (of course) already LOVE special events. It is basically my dream come true class. I am very pleased because this just further confirms my career choice!
*Also, I don't hate marketing like I thought I would. I think that it will actually be interesting but a little challenging. I am not very business minded so we'll see how this goes.
*My HR class is weird because my teacher is hard to understand but I'll get through it.
*It is so very nice to have a routine!
*Me and my roommates are becoming better friends everyday so that is a blessing. *Good news alert!! I found 2 bookstores on my own today without getting lost!!! There is proof that I'm not directionally hopeless which is pretty major!
*Apparently in Texas there are phrases that aren't normal to other people but I'm ok with that.
*No other states take quite as much state history as we do!
*As far as Italy is concerned, Everything is bigger in Texas! :)


On the food news front:
Me and the roommates found a new hang out! One of my roomies came home this afternoon and suggested we try a restaurant just down the street. It is literally at the end of our block. We went in and it was pretty tiny. The tables have marble tops with stools and long benches to sit on. There is an older couple and a young man who do all the cooking. Tonight there were 2 waitresses. They both speak English and were able to recommend some good dishes. I ordered soup to start and roast beef with potatoes. There were so many things that sounded good. Next time I will be adventurous but I was just craving some meat. So I went with the most American choice and I'm really ok with that. Let me tell you that it was delicious! I am so glad we found this place and we are all going back very often. We then decided that we wanted something sweet. We walked around our neighborhhood until we found a gelato place we thought looked the best. We were for sure correct in that choice! I got San Luca and Alice. San Luca is white chocolate with rice crisps in it. Yum! Alice is marscapone with chocolate sauce. Marscapone is a sweet cheese. Its kind of like cream cheese but made differently. It rocked my world for sure. I'm obsessed. Maybe by a small miracle I can learn how to make it!

I will leave you with that. We are leaving on our Tuscan tour bright and early tomorrow morning! I can't wait. I will have pics when I get back so you can have something more interesting to look at! Buonasera!
