finally apartment pics

As promised, I finally uploaded some pics of my apartment. They're not that great, but as I said earlier, the place is really big...and a sauna lol. so here they are.

So I had two more classes today. First was Lifestyle in Renaissance Florence (ugh at 9am). I think that might be my fave class so far. The professor is this little old man that just goes off on all these tangents and just seems like the happiest person in the world. He was talking about how he drives his moped all over Florence and how he was born here but teaches in California. He has all these trips planned for our class because he decided that he didnt like the classroom. I really don't think I'm gonna mind getting up early for this class. The location is perfect because we get a 15 min break, and the cafeteria is literally right outside the classroom. Later, I had my Venice Film Festival class with Meg. The professor was really sweet. It seems like a good class, and we're going to see Atonement in a few weeks :)

My classes are doing SO many trips! With 5 classes I'm doing a total of 10 trips...so cool! Not so cool...my sleeping situation. I was exhausted last night, but couldn't sleep because it sounded like there was a jack hammer ON my bed. Its ridiculous, they're basically ripping up Via Faenza, however, unlike Bingy, it seems like they're ALWAY working...I'm not sure which i worse. So I think the Paris trip is finally coming together, it looks like I found a way to get there, I just gotta make the sure hotel is right and we're good to go. ALSO, I'm finishing much earlier than I thought. My last final is on May 14th and ends at 2:30, so maybe I'll start European adventure '08 earlier :)

So Meg and I have a new fave restaurant. Its called the Wine Bar, they make the most delicious sandwiches in the entire world, and they're salads are supposed to be amazing. They're pretty cheap too...Last night I had a sandwich, a glass of wine, a capuccino, and Meg and I split a plate of bruschetta, and I only paid 8 euros! Oh man I'm starving now...free dinner tonight though, the program is paying. I still need to figure out my internt situation. It's getting pretty annoying. When I have the internet just there I use it when its convenient and to pass some down time, but seeing as I'm so limited in my internet access, I tend to spend all day in the student center on my computer. It's making me anti-social, I'mnot experiencing Florence as I should, and I can't video chat with people at home because while I'm sitting at my computer here, they're sleeping :( it's a bad situation all around.

Well that's it for now. I only have one class tmrw and then Meg and me are gonna do some shopping in the market :) woohoo, its like the palisades mall without the bad decor and crazy parking lot!
