School has started. I still don't know what to say about it. I don't understand anything yet. I'm really disappointed that so many teachers have changed again this year. I always hate it when teachers change because we have to get to know the new ones. And I liked the ones from before. I got along with them really well. I joked around with them and felt calm.
My classmates are the same. There's one new girl. Her name is Sara. The class is the same. But I still don't get anything that's going on. The schedule is strange too. I start at 9:40 and I'm not happy about it. I wish we could start earlier. On the first day of school I left at 1:50 p.m. Then I hear they're changing the schedule and that some classes will be in person. I don't know. We'll see what happens over the next few days.
I like going to school even though it's hard to get there. I like being in class with my classmates and walking around the hallways. I get to school and leave on my own. I hope they don't make me stay home and connect by computer this year.
And I still don't know what I can do—whether I can go to the gym, play soccer, or do music with the White Hands Choir in Testaccio. I have so many things to do, but right now I can't figure out when I can go to any of them.
But I have to say—I really wish I could go to the beach for vacation. I keep saying it: "I want to go to the beach!"
I know that going to the beach on vacation in September, October, and November isn't the same as July and August. There are fewer people and it's colder. But vacation is so beautiful. When I'm at the beach in the evening, I always go out. You can't do that in Rome. It's much harder. So in Rome, I spend the evenings making tons of phone calls. I like doing video calls so we can see each other. It's so much more fun when you can see each other! And in Rome, I like playing bowling. I've gotten really good—I score a ton of points.
