Another week!

Another week and a bit has gone past since I last posted in this Blog, and, as I am trying to keep this a little more up to date, I felt the need to write something. My second flatmate, Federico, has finally arrived, and in a week Hannah and my parents will be coming out to Italy to see me and experience a little taste of Ferrara. I have finally gotten around to eating more Pizza, and have been shown a nice little take-away place that I shall be frequenting for lunch from now on! I have also branched out with my Gelato, and found another place that sells quite nice Gelato, although I would honestly say that my usual place is better!

I have just realised that a large amount of the things that I deem interesting enough to go in this Blog are about food...

Anyway, I am slowly starting to understand the content of my courses a little better, and have begun my English teaching course (although at the moment the course deals more in discussions about the theory behind teaching, and I won't be taking part in lessons for a little while yet). Basically, all is good in Ferrara!

Ciao!

Long time, no post!

I gather that people may have realised that I haven't posted in this Blog for a while - I've been rather busy sorting out all of the various details that enrolling at an Italian university entails, and haven't gotten around to writing anything new - so I will sum up the time since the last blog posts!

Well, I enrolled at the Uni, and have started courses (an Italian for foreigners course, and "Modern History", which covers everything between 1450 and 1900, which is a bit much to remember...), and have made several friends at the Uni. I've slowly explored the city more and more, and have gotten to know the way around the southern part of the city, in particular around the University and Piazza Trento e Trieste. I have found a very nice Gelateria, and therefore have been eating unhealthy amounts of Gelato, which I make up for by walking everywhere (my apartment is around 30 minutes walk from the University, in baking heat, across a level crossing - there is a bus, but I enjoy the walk!).

I have sorted out most of my paperwork, and the only things left to deal with is my Learning Agreement, which will enable me to get lots of money from the EU!

Anyway, as a footnote, I will aim to update this Blog far more often from now on, so keep reading!
