There hasn't been much new news since the last time I updated...we had our finals for PLP this past week and studio art students have our orientation and first day of instruction tomorrow (Monday the 27th) at the Accademia. Then on Tuesday our apartment and our friend Stefany will be spending the rest of the week in the Amalfi Coast and Sara's birthday (October 31st) on Ischia.
We've had a couple interesting dinners here at the Castella di Nutella as well...
Ramen sent from the Ota family on Willis Lane:
And fajitas made with tortillas and black beans from Sara's parents:
I also went to my first soccer (calcio) game - Fiorentina vs. Regina. It wasn't as crazy or violent because they aren't crazy rivals, but it was fun nonetheless! We also found Vestri, a cioccolateria, where we ordered affogato - hot chocolate with a scoop of gelato. And there have been recent student protests against the school tuition raises and teacher firings, so on Tuesday we saw marches in the street and demonstrations in the piazzas. Italian students are so proactive - and who knows? The Accademia might be occupied tomorrow when we go for our orientation...!?

Wow Avery some interesting adventures you're having. Hope you're having a balanced life between school and projects. Things have just started getting busy on my end. But stay healthy cuz we're getting into the cold season and Italy must be megas cold by now and relax when you have the time. You're always in my prayers.
