I am starting to get really behind with this stuff so bear with me. I am doing my best to at least post pictures on my Facebook page. Hopefully this will be sufficient for the next day or so until I can post about last weekend when I went to cinque terre.
Week 5
Monday 9-24:
After getting back from Oktoberfest, I found myself feeling really homesick. Mostly because I was thinking that though the trip was really fun, it would have been even more fun with my family and people that I know really well. For the most part, even the other students from ISU are still acquaintances, I get along with them but I don’t really feel like I know them or that they know me very well. It is similar to traveling with strangers and I am so used to traveling with my sisters or my entire family that I don’t like traveling with “strangers”.
Another factor to my extreme homesickness was stress. I was really exhausted from the trip and I still had a lot of homework to do for the week. So I was tired, stressed and homesick. After I went to class I was much better, I think I just needed to get out and do something but I had so much to do that I didn’t get a chance to earlier in the day. I got back from class and continued to work on homework before going to bed early.
Tuesday 9-25:
In Italian Cuisine class today; we made two different types of pasta. One was dry pasta, which is the light colored one with the cheese on top (goat cheese by the way). The other is hand made spinach pasta; we rolled it and cut it to put into a soup. I personally liked the dry pasta better but that was just because our soup lacked flavor and by the time it was done we had very little time to eat it so it was really hot while trying to eat it.
Below are some
