Via Martelli n°3!

Ciao! After the last post, I figured that it would be a good idea to introduce many of the new characters to my blog. In my building there are 20 students that live with here, including the student coordinator (that's what I call her). My roommates and I are the only boys in the building which is what most boys wish for. Some notable friends in the building are the 4 girls of the room Rubino, Caroline, Clio, Marissa, and Maura, the two from the room called Giada, Alexis and Vanessa, also the three girls from Umbra, Meaghan, Sarah, and Christina, and finally Jackie from upstairs and Brooke our resident coordinator. Not to mention the men from Acquamarina, Me, Tony, and Davis. Right now you may be confused to why I included names with the rooms (the odd names in bold), but each room has a name for some sort of stone so that the room is not affliated with a students name in case a key is lost or something happens. These 13 people plus me make up my good friends here in Florence. 6 of the girls mentioned have long-term boyfriends, one of which is studying here but in a homestay. Sarah's boyfriend, John, is also a very good friend here. He and I will definately be seeing some amazing soccer games while here. However, convoluted this may seem hopefully I can put some faces to those names and over time the names will appear and you may have some idea about who there are.

This picture was taken after one of our Via Martelli dinners, which is when we cook a large meal for everyone in the building, we switch between which rooms host. However, hopefully now that I am slowly getting more comfortable with the transition I will blog more often. For now, Ciao!
