classes, etc.

Yesterday was the first day of class…we had a brief reunione with the dirittrice (Rosa) to talk about our classes, then we had a lunch break (I swear, the school may be American but it functions like Italians…there is a 3 hour break for ever hour we’re doing something). My first class was required for all the undergrads, so we were all in it together – GRAMMAR. Woohoooo. We’re all reeeeally stoked…or not. But the professoressa seems really nice and so it should probably just be helpful and not annoying. Piya, Kat, Liz, and I went to the Museo Archeologico after class. It was a really tiny museum but we saw some mummies and stuff, so that was cool. There were these REALLY RANDOM paintings on the wall in this exhibit on food. They were really modern and out of place and when Piya asked about them, the woman said that it was just because there was an art musem nearby. What?????? They were so weird and kinda creepy, all interspersed with these cool kraters and pots and statues…bizarre. The girls and I did some Pilates when we got back and dinner was gallina, apparently like a chicken but different and ONLY exists in Italia. Who knew?
