Apartment hunting has been tough! I don't think the Italians check their emails as often as we Americans do, so it's been tough taking a conversation through to its conclusion. In short, though, I still don't have an apartment. I have considered taking the room offered by Polimi, but Marcello actually said I shouldn't, since it's an incredibly long commute to the Bovisa campus where I will be working a lot of the time, 70-100 minutes, and that it's not in a nice neighborhood. The dorms are otherwise entirely filled! Wow! I was really hoping to live in the Galileo dorm, where one of Marcello's students live, since it is in a more centralized location.
I think this would be a lot easier in Milan! I would be on the same time schedule, and I could call people more easily. I should probably stop being a coward and add more funds to my Google voice account, so I can call from here... I'm sort of worried about calling people up because of the language barrier...
So, if you have a friend in Milan who could let me crash on their couch for a few days, now's the time to say so!
