Florence, Italy: Classes?!? We don’t need no stinking classes!

Sometimes I wish I didn’t have to have classes. Then again, I so do! Classes begin tomorrow and I’m anxious. Even though I’ve been working on my directed study for Classical Rhetoric, I’m ready for my classes here as well. I’m picking up little Italian phrases here and there, but since I’m going to spend 2 hrs per day (Mon-Thurs) on it in class every afternoon, I’ll pick a lot more up very soon!

This weekend we have a trip planned to Siena and to San Gimignano. We also head to Rome for a three day trip at the end of September. Our group of students (the 8 of us from TCU) are still talking about what other side trips we’re going to do. For sure I’ll do some with them, but then again, I’ll probably do a couple alone as well. We’re all pretty indecisive at nights on where to eat (it’s like we’re in Ft. Worth and having the same problem — I guess it’s universal), but we’re starting to mix well together. We all have our unique personality quirks and now that we’re mostly aware of them, we’re not shocked quite as easily.

I’m off to meet the others for dinner (cooking in the girls’ apartment), so ciao!

Oh yeah, PS – I just read the TCU beat OU in football — why does the cool stuff happen when I’m across the pond? Oh well, great to hear!
