Been a tad busy-Heres an update :)
Sooo I’ve been in Milan for almost 2 full weeks, and I officially think I am never going to leave. It has been the most AMAZING experience so far. The first week of being here was a little rough because of the fact that we were all so jet lagged. The school made sure to keep us busy the entire week though, so we were pretty much forced to get adjusted to the time change. During that week we went on tours of the city and we also went to the Duomo. (Which was absolutely, hands down, the most emotional/intense day of my life). The church was stunning. In order to go inside you have to have your shoulders covered and pants at least to your knees. Once I walked into the church my heart literally sank. It was HUGEEE, and honestly the most beautiful thing I have seen. I lit candles inside for my family and prayed for a while, I actually started crying, thats how intense the feeling was inside there! We then climbed up to the top of the church, which was more than 300 stairs along the outside of the Duomo and there were no exits-Once you started up the staircase, there was no where else to go but up or back down, but once you get to the top and see the picture perfect view, its WELL worth it. We spent the rest of the day shopping :) and just touring the city some more. During the next week classes had started, which entailed 3 hours of italian class a day, and a few other random 3 hour long classes. The italian course I am taking is helping a lot, i find myself using italian more and more every day even when I am just talking to my friends…Its such a good feeling becoming more familiar with the culture here. A few days ago we went out for megans birthday, which was quite eventful. We went down to the canal about 20 minutes from the apartment. At the bar we all had some drinks and met these 2 italian guys name Fabio and Michele. Its unreal how beautiful the men are here. They are flawless. Anyway, the rest of the week we had class and would just come back to the apt and make dinner and relax. Last night, however, we went to the grand opening of a club called Hollwood, and before that we went to a bar called pitbull (which kim and i went to once already the beginning of the first week)…it was 25 euro to get in Hollywood, but SO worth it. You got a free drink when you walked in, and once we got inside we saw the dance floor flooded with male models. Kim and I made friends with a few models who are going to be in milan for 4 months (like us) and then met 2 guys who modeled for gucci and other high end designers. Yeah, it was a classic night. We left around 3:00 am, after quite a few shots and mixed drinks, although we danced out all of the calories we consumed. Today, we had to wake up at 9 am to be at school by 10. We had to go on a class trip to a museum, but it was over by 1 pm so we decided to walk over to the duomo again from corso como. So, needless to say, we are pretty exhausted. I have not consumed this much pasta in my entire life, but I must say, pasta in italy somehow has a better taste to is than back at home. Alright, time to shower, my feet are covered in Milanese dirt! Ciao!
