When finally arriving in Florence, after a long day of sleepless travel, I was feeling a little bit anxious. However, everyone in my program is so friendly and helpful with this new big transition! These first few days have been a bit rainy, but still amazing! Because we’re in Florence! Also, one of our first classes was a “Survival Italian” class, where we have been learning some Italian. It has been a challenge trying to use some of the phrases out in public, but we are learning!
