Pre-departure

As the nervous excitement builds, I look forward to spending my Summer I semester in Sardinia. I am hoping for a more relaxed and slower paced lifestyle while there. I am expecting much better food, coming in the form of fish and pasta. I hope that the locals are friendly towards us visitors but I would understand where they were coming from if they did come off as being a bit “cold”.

It is definitely going to be very different living in a different country for a month. While I did study Italian in high school I am still learning to understand the relatively quick speaking native Italians. I would ultimately like to be able to learn the local customs and try to fit in as best as possible.


I hope to see how different societies deal with their environmental and waste problems as well as see how their culture functions and hopefully we can bring back what we learn while in Italy to use in our everyday life or as we go out into the work force as engineers.
