Update

I'm tired today. Not exhausted as I've been in the past week, but just sleepy. I'm also feeling overwhelmed by the size of the city and the very little of it I've actually seen. There is so much I want to do and so much that requires a lot of time and a lot of money and a lot of navigation skill. I'm consulting all of my books and I really want to explore the various museums and landmarks on my own, but its hard and intimidating when you don't know the language and it's easy to get lost. This week we started our intensive Italian courses and mine is from 9:30 until noon. After that, I'm done for the afternoon and I have all the time in the world to do whatever I want. Tonight I need to do some homework, and there is an Italian cooking class at 7, which sounds fun. I had my first homemade Italian meal last night. A salad made up of some amazing greens and some awesome pasta pictured below. Right now my roommates and I are sitting around the kitchen table . They are eating and I'm sipping wine and trying to do my homework. I have to draw a diagram of my apartment and label it in Italian. Fun, right? More later...long day.
