First date!

Here I am again after a long and not relaxing break!
Not relaxing because of the exams I had, or better we all had to do! Anyway now I’m back and ready for this brand new adventure!
I was really exited about starting this second semester and particularly the exchange with foreign students. I decided to choose the exchange with the American colleagues of Dickinson University because I wanted to use Skype!! Skype it is not a new tool for me, I usually use it at home to speak with my foreign friends or to keep in contact with some Italian friends who live far away. The point is that it is a very useful and funny device which allows you to speak with who you wants and the geographical distance doesn’t matter!
I have to admit that, last Wednesday, at the beginning of the conversation I felt a little bit embarrassed but than after just few minutes we broke the ice and all my “fear” vanished.
Alice, Corina and me started talking quite easily and luckily our American peer speaks in a very comprehensible way! After the presentations we spoke about our University and I was very curious about college, so I had to ask to Corina if everything works like in the films, I mean the parties, confraternities and so on…You know what?! Corina confirmed my “stereotypes” about life in the college! It seems so funny, and everything’s so different from here! At least from my commuter’s experience…
Talking about subjects and courses we discovered many others differences between our two school system, the fact is that they seems to be very free to chose which course to attend not only at University but also at school!
So, after this 1 hour of conversation I can say that I’m very happy about this exchange!! It’s a pity (obviously only for us) that Americans are going to have their spring break this week, because we’ll miss the chance to connect to Skype and speak. Anyway 7 days are not too much!
See you soon!
