November 14th

Slow moving day today, I woke up early and started my homework after eating breakfast. I was able to do a few things around the house that needed to be done and then I headed off to lighting class. We learned about different artists and their influence on light, such as Caravaggio and the Pantheon. During break I got some gelato, Santa Croce and menta which was such a good combo. Went back to class and we presented what we are thinking of for our final projects. Wow, final projects already? Didn't I just get here?

After class I raced home to make some spaghetti to bring back to class with me for some dinner and I actually ended up being a little late to class. It was ok though because the teachers were late too. We spent class looking at what they expect us to have for our final projects and also looking at other examples of projects that they think would be good for us to know about. We have two more papers to write for the class and one project to complete, looks like it will be a busy rest of the semester for this girl. On an exciting note, as soon as I opened up my spaghetti and began eating it, everyone kept saying, "oh what is that? It smells SO good!" I was very pleased with myself.

I came home from class and began working on homework. I was able to skype with Daddy for a little bit which was great! We only get to skype about once a week so it is always so special when we do get the chance. He promised to not get the Christmas tree until I get home so I could not be more thrilled. I also go to talk to Chris for a few minutes before I headed to bed.

Good day, but I am starting to realize how much school work I have to complete before the end of the year. Anyone want to volunteer so that I can really enjoy my last few weeks here?

Con amore, Ciao!
