A Mouse in a Maze

I arrived in Siena yesterday and Italy is absolutly amazing. It took us 12 hours between traveling to the airport, flying, and travling to Siena from Pisa. It was a long day but obviously worth it. The city is walled in and the whole thing is just a series of connected, 4 story, buildings that line the streets which are no wider than a car. I feel like a little mouse running through a maze. Its so easy to get lost! Last night they had a delicous 4 course meal set up for us. We started with some bruchetta, then had rosoto, followed by chicken and ended with dessert! oo and of course plenty of wine. After dinner we went to a local bar/small clubish thing which was intresting... there were some 15 year olds there! On our way home we got lost and it took us an hour to find our way back but we were in a group for like 12 so it was fun.
Today we had orientation, purchased our books, and they program provided drinks for us at the school so we could see where it was. Then I went to dinner with the same group of people i've been hanging out with. Dinners are so long, even for just pizza we were sitting there for almost 2.5 hours!
Anyway, class starts tomorrow at 830 so I have to get to bed so I can mentally prepare for the task that is conquering the Italian language :)
