Today was a learning day. i had two 2 1/2 hour classes! my first was with my super neurotic, spastic but awesome italian teacher. he continuously shouted things at us in Italian and told us to "get rid of our zombie faces" when we stared back in confusion. By the end of class, i knew how to count, say the name of countless random animals (snake, dog, spider, rat...) and tell people my name and where i am from. looks like i'll be set for the next 3 months.
My second class was my intercultural communication class. My teacher seems really awesome, wordly and experienced! she has been basically everywhere, has like ten degrees, and while not teaching, is a meditation expert who teaches classes in India!
I also rearranged my schedule so that I officially only have classes on Mon, Tues and Wed. Yay forever 4 day weekends! now that my schedule is a whole day more free, i want to start taking day trips and explore some new lands (not that i need much of an "escape" from beautiful Firenze!) but there is just so much to see :)
Oh, and I feel like I got hit by a train when I woke up today. Yesterday's abs and legs class kicked my butt. Frabizzio (our instructor) treated us like we were in boot camp, drilling us through abs and leg exercises. Our "breaks" consisted of us running in place. Between watching my roommates and I struggle through the workouts in the front and center massive mirror, and listening to my teacher rap snoop dog lyrics while yelling numbers in Italian, my hysterical laughing made the ab workouts just that much more intense.
I took some more pictures of my beautiful school. here they are!! :)
