A Day in the Life

         I wanna walk you through a school day of a Siracusian (I think that's right). This is at least my school day for the moment and it's great.

          I wake up at 7:30 int he morning (already better than the normal 5:30). I get ready like normal.... drag myself out of bed, brush teeth, comb hair (though my hair is still short), shave if I have to. Then me and Pier ride the motor-scooter to school and get there in about 2 minutes. We hop off and have about ten minutes to hang out and talk to each other before the teacher gets in. Now what I like is that in school you have a coffee machine in the hallway, which though it is a machine, the coffee is still pretty good, so I start my day with a cappacino. When anyone of importance walks into the room you must stand until they say you may be seated. This includes teacher, principals, and special guests I think. The day is mostly mobbed by science and math classes since it is a scientific school. They aren't that hard to understand for me since math consists of alot of words like "meno= minus" and "pui= plus". Math is easy to get by in. During each class you have a small 5 minute break for bathroom and coffee and drink purposes. Then the next teacher comes in and starts everything again. Before the last class of the day starts you have a 15 minute break to go to a little table with a little lady behind it passing out sandwiches. It is a madhouse. It's 30 kids crowding this lunch lady. I usually get a Caprese sandwich, which is tomateo, mozzerella, and basil put altogether. On top of that they put ketchup and mayo on it cause kids put ketchup and mayo on everything here. That is a really good sandwich. Then we have one class after that and we get to go home. It's great cause this whole thing is only 4 hours long. It's like when parents say "I didn't like going to school at your age" except here in Italy the parents take that into account and don't make their kids go to school for that long. All the kids in class are good, and I'm getting along fine. I'll talk to you later, ciao!
