Day 2 of school is really nothing I could complain about. I didn't have class until 2, and was only in class until 3:20. I spent a leisurely morning around my apartment re-organizing, doing laundry and cooking some eggs as brunch. It was nice to relax and linger in the morning, instead of rushing to get somewhere or do something. I even decided to walk to school instead of taking the bus, which was actually a really nice walk and I even stumbled upon a little open market on a side street with fresh vegetables, bread and meats.
My one class was a popular music class, which was really interesting, but I felt like I was in Hilary Duff's movie Raise Your Voice. We talked about the definition of popular music, which we never concluded what it was and listened to/watched some youtube videos. My second class this week with youtube videos...sweet.
Then I took the bus home with two of my roommates and the ATAC guys (equivalent of WMATA, or the metro police) got on at our stop to check people's tickets. Luckily it was the first day of the month and we had gotten monthly passes on our first day here because they go through the bus asking to see everyone's validated ticket. If you don't have a ticket, or it's not validated, you get in trouble and get a citation. One guy right next to us got one and I'm pretty sure I saw the guy write that it was a 100 euro ticket. Yowza. Anyways, they only stayed on for 2 stops then got off and waited for another bus to come. Sneaky sneaky those ones. They wear navy blue jackets with thin red strips and I forget what their tags said, but other than the fact that there were two older Italian men in matching jackets, I would have had no idea that they were on the bus.
Another early morning of classes tomorrow. Ciao.
