Oh goodness. Today was something else. Today was the first day of classes, which is very exciting! My renaissance art class is going to be incredible! Every day we go to a different museum or site around Florence. Sometimes we meet first to have a lecture, and sometimes we meet directly at a tourist site. Tomorrow we are touring the Santa Croce, and Wednesday we are touring the duomo.
My fashion marketing class will be an excellent experience, but it might be a lot of information I have already learned. There will be a lot of cool class exercises. I have a six page paper due Monday about the marketing employed by an Italian brand in the city. Also we get to go to the Ferregamo museum as a class, and we will take a trip to Milan.
After class I wasn’t feeling too great, so I ended up just sitting on the couch for awhile, but we had dinner at Ganzo. Ganzo is the place where the people who graduate from this schools culinary program work. It was all right. It was very strange. VERY STRANGE. I ended up having penne pomodoro (typical), and quiche (maybe not so typical). Afterwards we walked back to our apartment, and Brittney was craving gelato so we went and found a place we hadn’t tried yet. I ended up finding sparkling orange water (?). It was Pellegrino with orange in it. I think I found my new “on the way to class” drink.
We saw that there was something going on in the piazza di santa croce, so we decided to sit on the steps of the church and see what was going on. Turns out it was an Italian performance of peter and the wolf. It was so cool! As the sun was setting and the orchestra was playing I thought to myself…this is just a good day.
Boy, was I wrong.
Some dramatics occurred in the apartment tonight. This time tomorrow, I may not have a fourth flat mate.
I’ll keep you posted.
