Hi journal! it's me, maria i arrived in new york city two weeks ago. I am writing this journal for one of my classes.My teacher says it is good way for me to practice writing in english and to write about my experiences here in the united states. So far,I like New York and my school. I have three classes a day. Most of my classmates come from japan, korea, poland, germany, and brazil. There aren't many italian student, so I have to use english most of the time. I am leaning a lot! I am living in student housing, I have my own comfortable room
