Classy soccer

Last night we got a bunch of people together and played soccer. There were people from all over the world playing together... boys and girls.. there were people from South Africa, Italy, France, Denmark, and the US all playing together. It's pretty amazing when you think about it.
We went straight from Italian class to the soccer field, and I had a dress on... but I coudn't resist getting in on the action.. so I played barefoot and in a dress!!! And I kicked butt! The boys were at a total disadvantage because they aren't going to knock over a girl and I knew that so I was really aggressive with them and they just let me have the ball! hahah
The night before was Romaney's birthday party. She is a girl living here in Siena, but she is from Cape Town, South Africa. She is really cool. She is getting her PhD in Genetics in Paris this fall. I have met a lot of her friends and I like them alot... I think we are all going out tonight too!
We have a favorite restaurant. It is called the Focacciaria. Its delicious and really cheap. It is £2 for a pizza. The guys that work there are really cute and we are good friends with all of them. They give us free food and drinks sometimes...That is where we had Romaney's party.
Monday is our final test for Italian class.. and I have to write a paper before Wed. However, tonight we are going to the Bottini (the underground acquaducts of Siena), tomorrow we are going to Florence for the day, Sunday we are going on a hike to Mt. Olivo. Then Monday we are going to some hot springs in Siena... so I don't know when I will have time to write this paper. haha. The night of Romaney's party we went to a outside dance party. During the summer right before The Paleo (the horse races) each contrada has parties and BBQ's... it is pretty fun. I danced with a very good looking boy from South Africa for most the night. His name is Richard and he has a undergrad degree in Mathmatics and he is moving to Arizona in the fall. I told him he has to come visit me. I told the director of our program that I really want to come back to live in Siena and he told me that I should... and we talked for about 2 hours about learning the language, volutneering, America\Italy, and living here.... it was a great conversation and I learned a lot.
