I woke up to an email from my dad (love you scuba steve) checking in on me since I had not updated this or my Project365 yesterday, so dad, this one's for you. Haha
Yesterday wasn't all that interesting of a day. I went to my "Writing Rome" class for the first time, which meets once a week for 3 hours and we explore different writing styles, meet on-site often and does various readings all involving Rome in one way or another. It seems like it will be interesting, but yesterday we sat in class for the whole 3 hours and it was pretty dull so early in the morning.
Media and Gender was... special. We watched some... interesting(?) music videos and talked about the nature vs nurture concept of the first words that came to our minds when we heard "masculinity" and "femininity."
Then Italian was canceled! Woohoo! So I got out at 5 instead of 6:40, which I wasn't complaining because a bunch of people came over for dessert/dinner and we made crepes and chilled before going out for a little while.
Today I once again only have class from 2-3:30 so I'm relaxing, going to make a brunch in a little while and then head to class and explore in the afternoon because it's absolutely gorgeous out. Tomorrow morning we leave on an 8:30am train to Florence for the weekend, so we're staying in tonight to get our work done for Monday since we get home pretty late on Sunday.
Before I go off to get ready for my last day of the school week, here's a quote I got from a packet in my writing class that I read and was like "Yeah..that's pretty much how I've felt here":
"I feel happy here, for I learn something new everyday: I try to become impregnated with the unalterable beauty Rome dispenses with such generosity." - Auguste Rodin
