Ciao! Fun evening - first, Bible study of Hebrews in the Library, led by my friend Nicole; then, Lorenzo took a bunch of us to play soccer (I assisted in a goal!) - it was fun up until he took a soccer ball to the face (but don't worry, he's fine now); THEN we brought our homework to a local restaurant and studied the night away!

Amidst all the stress and high emotion of the past week, it was nice to get out and have a good time. I've been feeling quite overwhelmed with everything, but at the same time I'm just grateful to be here and excited for everything that is to come.

Bedtime! Buonanotte!
