El primer dia de colegios ; )

Today was the first day of school. It was pretty cool I definitely enjoy the idea of studying abroad and living life in a totally different setting instead of just traveling through as a tourist. Classes pretty easy so far and I really liked my profs who seem passionate about what they're teaching and are willing to get to know you and make sure the class is worth the time. It's funny how I ended up at Bocconi which is considered one of the top business universities in the world without even trying, so I'm excited to take advantage of the opportunity. The way classes are organized are similar to the States except for grading which is based solely on one or two exams, so the pressure is on when exam time rolls in.

For your sake, I'm going to try and keep these a little shorter. But I have to mention that my international economics professor is a Dustin Hoffman look-a-like which was amusing today because it's like watching a movie for an hour and a half (and he luckily is decently funny) , or at least imagining it's a movie while you cover several economic models. Although this picture doesn't do full justice, I'll leave the decision up to you.

Walked around the school area today while looking at hotels for my mom to stay at...and I've decided I can;t wait for spring to hit Milan, it's bound to be beautiful then and should make up for the cloudy skies.

Until next time,
Keep in touch.

    It will be good to meet your Dustin as well.
    I thank the Lord for allowing you (and us)to live this wonderful experience and look forward to more stories!
