It's Been a Blah Kind of Day

10. Ambulance/Police sirens!

Nothing too exciting to report, sorry. Went to class this morning and learned more about Giotto and moving into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Renaissance which I'm looking forward to. My teacher, Pier Paolo (so proud he's named after Rome's two Saints), really likes me because I can converse with him in Italian and I'm taking other art history courses. He's fun to listen to in class because he has a great mastery of the English language and when he is searching for words I think he is trying for a simple word to get his point across and then he pulls out some super technical or elaborate word I have only used twice in my life! Today he got really wound  up about the distinct differences between Late Gothic/International Gothic Style vs. Classical when it comes to Renaissance influences and he ran out of words. "The body looks like... like.. a body. A human body with weight and... and .. earth pulling on the weight" He chuckles because he knows how silly it sounds but he's making very good points we can all follow, they just sound a little goofy.

I came home and did some laundry and made lunch and did homework. Just killing time before my 4:30 Italian class today. Tomorrow we have a quiz, ooooh aaah! So I'll be studying more tonight.

Last night Kat and Sophia went to see The Magic Flute with their Italian Theater class and Ginny and Julie took advantage of free museum night and went to the Galleria Borghese . I wasn't feeling up to the excursion and I will visit all the museums that were open for my different art history classes anyways. I've been a bum this week! I need to light a fire under me and be more active out in Roma. Snoble was scolding me yesterday for still not having fixed my camera!

NICO COMES HOME TONIGHT!!! She's been bouncing around between her jobs and studying for her midterms and today is her last test! We're so eager to have her around more often and to switch to almost entirely Italian! Maybe she'll bring Syria over tonight too.

I hope everything is well in your life :)
