Classes

So I am here, happy, and finally the proud owner of some free time here in Florence. What a trip this has been.

Classes at the Villa Rossa have started, and they seem pretty simple. I don't know if this will translate constructively into more freedom on my part, or more boredom doing mindless tasks. We'll see.

I am living with a young woman three blocks away from school in an elegant apartment building, with my own room at the foot of the stairs -- che bello! First not having a roommate felt like a curse and now, while everyone else is complaining about theirs, Paola and I are happily eating our pastas and peaches-drenched-in-white-wine together then retreating into our respective spaces. It's a terrific situation.

I'll be on later I promise to post things from earlier, I just haven't gotten around to putting the journal on a keycard thing. But more will come soon.
