The Italian Stomach bug

Today I left work early because my stomach is not happy! I felt weird asking to go home early, but it was obviously fine. When I got home I felt better, and then felt bad that I didnt stay at work. But then I felt worse and was glad I went home. I also got majorly attacked by some sort of bug. On my shoulder I have about 20 bites from something, but to me mosquito bites dont make sense with so many in a small area. But the everything here is different, in terms of health. I have allergies, I get really bad reactions to the mosquitoes here, and I’ve gotten sick more than usual. It sounds like im falling apart, but really Im not! Its a good thing that I am healthy, because I am able to function normally even thought this place has strange viruses.
Thats all for my symptoms.

learning Italian in Italia is so hard. When I learn something from someone, and then say it to someone else, they correct it! For example I was told by my roommate that Motorini in Firenze are called motore. So then I called one a motore, and my other friends corrected me and told me it was a motorino. There are different words for everything!

Today I went out to dinner with some of my friends from the Catholic student group, and then listened to their choir practice. When they start up in september I will start with them. They practice in this beautiful and crazily old church that has incredible acoustics. The choir is just voice. It is absolutely incredible. I was so fortunate to be there, looking at beautiful art, listening to incredible music….exactly for what the church was made for. Bellissima!
