This past week we took a day trip to Fiesole after class for Stefany's birthday. It was overcast but the view of Florence was still gorgeous! We went into a couple churches and manuevered the hilly streets.
This weekend we plan on taking the bus to Pisa for either one day, or perhaps spending the night there? Hopefully it will warm up for the weekend!
Classes are going well - the Accademia exams are coming up in a couple weeks and I am very nervous! Although ... I think I'm more nervous about the length of the exam (24 hours over a span of 4 days) rather than what I'm going to be tested on. Marsha the art advisor is really helpful so I'm confident that I'll be able to make good enough drawings and paintings.
I also feel like I'm getting to know the city a tiny bit better - there are still MANY moments when I look like a complete fool in front of Italian people - trying to work the bancomat, navigating the supermercati, and the times when I attempt to try out my limited Italian. But I've gotten used to it - and that's good because I'm going to be going through it for another 10 months!
