Vino bianco (aka white wine)

Apparently the computer lab hours are sporadic, so right now its open. Later...who knows. Im just glad I could get my email fix.

Last night our entire school pretty much went to the Orchidea, the local bar-pizzeria. We didnt have directions so we just started walking. For such a small town, it ended up being quite a walk, reinforced by the cold night temperature. The drivers here are crazy and we were almost run over by some dude driving 90 mph, looping around two streets. If I didnt know better, i would guess he was trying to kill us. The Ochidea was packed, and it took forever to order drinks, but it was refreshing to be away from campus, in an open place with music and laughter. Our dorms are so dreary...due to the fact that lights are never on. The hallways are pitch black unless you activate a light (because utilities are more expensive in Europe), but it is still eerie walking up flights of stairs in the dark. The walls are incredibly thin and you can hear the alarms of girls down the hall. The stairway also magnifies and carries sound, so that even if someone isnt on your floor you still hear conversations from three flights down. Quite annoying when youre trying to sleep, but theyve started "quiet hours" at 11 pm. We'll see how that goes.

We just got done with our academic orientation and after lunch well have our travel orientation, followed by the highlight of my day - a trip to the mall!!!!!
