So maybe it's not supposed to be like this, but to a point, this feels like high school again.
There are 31 American students studying abroad through the IES Siena program. With so many different personalities and lifestyles I know there is no possible way to be close friends with every single person (although, I am the kind of person that wishes there was...).
It has been less than a week since we all arrived in Italy. People are settling into their surroundings and getting acquainted with fellow study abroaders (yeah, I know that's not a word...oh well). And perhaps it's a natural thing to form cliques....? I don't know, but I don't like it. Cliques are forming. I thought I was away from all that when I graduated from high school and started college. The last time I walked out the doors of Belchertown High School, maybe I assumed incorrectly - thinking that all the cliquey-ness would be left behind.
Eh.
I feel like it's first-semester freshman year all over again.

Oh, don't worry, it's exactly the same here. We kept saying we felt like we were at college freshman orientation all over again. You'll be happy to know that it's already dissipating, however, so I'm sure you guys aren't far behind either.
