It has been an eventful, and very full week! It started out by the six of us girls who live in apartments, moving to our new casa. It is located closer to school, and behind the main campo. Our new room is gorgeous, and all of them have sinks which makes it much more convenient. The kitchen and other common areas are smaller, and will take a bit of adjustment but it is nice having all of us on one floor now, dinners are much more eventful!
Our washer is seriously large enough to hold a shirt and 2 socks, maybe. So that should prove to be an adventure. Here are some pictures of the new room...
It was our first full week of our regular classes, which proved to be adventurous. I am taking Photography, Art History I, and Italian Sign Language along with the required Italian Language/Culture classes. They have all been enjoyable. Photography has a lot of assignments, and the first one was to take a photo a day! Ha, I think I have that covered. Here is my photo assignment, I am in love with how it turned out...
Our art history class went on our first field trip today to the local Siena Duomo, it's only breath-taking and gorgeous and amazing, no big deal.
Italian Sign Language is fascinating. The class is silent, which is something that I didn't really think about. It's very different from what you expect in other classes.
This Saturday a group of us went to Rome to check out the sites, and tour the Borghese, which is UH-MAZING, if you ever get the chance, GO. I also saw the Colloseum, Spanish Steps, and Trevi fountain to name a few. It's really incredible to be standing next to all these things that you have read about your whole life. It's completely surreal. It was so exhausting, but so worth it.
I can't believe it is March already, I'm not quite sure where February went. This weekend we are heading out for Carnavale which is basically the Italian version of Halloween, but a bit cooler.
Until next time,
Liz
