Milano

So, I am in Milan. It is hot, I have constant swamp ass, and I'm covered in bug bites. This city really isn't trying to make me not hate it.

Despite that fact that Milan sucks, the camp stuff is going alright. The other two tutors besides myself and Allison (who I was with in the previous camp--Allison says to say that she is wicked awesome) are nice...they are actually a couple, so we lucked out when the director decided to let us all stay at her apartment. Originally, only 3 of the 4 tutors were supposed to stay with her and one elsewhere. They wouldn't split up the couple--meaning that either Alison or I would have to be the third wheel. Fortunately, the camp director is awesome and found a way to let us all stay there. It is actually pretty crazy--she just gave us her apartment (she is staying in her mother's apartment nearby). Its all very cool.

Yesterday we headed north to see the traghetto (a sort of a boat) that Leonardo Da Vinci designed that crosses the Adda river. It was nice to get out of the city and we got to meet some of her friends which was pretty cool.

Today was our first day of camp..I am workign with the red group which is the same age I worked with last week. The kids are better behaved her but not as cute. So it is kinda a trade off. Allison and I are the experienced tutors, so it feels like more work that it was the past two weeks. And our directors (we have two here) aren't as involved as Tannith was. So yea, I'm exhausted.

Ingrid is also in Milan, but at a different camp. Hopefully we will be able to meet up soon.

That is it. I am crazy hungry, very tired, and nasty sweaty.
