Skype Exchange

Hello Everybody!

Just a few lines to say that I enjoyed my first Skype exchange really much! I really had fun talking to my exchange partner Corinna, who's a young student at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania... I say young, because she's younger than me... therefore I'm not going to say how old I am, but how old she is :-) She's 19! However, I got a good impression of hers, although she had waken up just 15 minutes before :-) it was quite early in the morning there, when we had our talk! We spoke about University and she tried to explain me a bit how a campus works and the opportunities that students have, while they're living in. I'd really like to experience it! She told me that there are excellent facilities for sport and recreation... while for me it is always hard to find spare-time for my hobbies, because I have to drive every day to Padova to attend courses and it's such a loss of time! That's why my only sport activity is running on Sunday mornings...
I even asked her, if life in a campus is similar to what movies pictured... like in Animal House :-) We laughed about that and she told me she's a serious student, however there are students who have 'fun' also...
Anyway, the experience has been not only amazing, since I met (met? more or less) a very kind person to whom talking about, but also very useful; I learnt some new words, I tried to listen carefully to her pronounciation, (thanks God, I could understand everything she said!).
Hope we'll be keeping in contact, even after the exchange has finished.

See you soon all!

Alice
