Classes are HARD. Especially the ones taught in Italian with Italian readings…even culture and translation (which is in English) is going to be tough because our teacher is not an easy grader. We have quizzes in every class, every time, on whatever the assigned reading was. Each class is 2 hours long without a break and in my history and art classes there are only 2 or 3 of us and the professor talking for those 2 straight hours. I miss my easy 50-minute language classes with easy homework and class discussions!
Anyway…this weekend I did absolutely no work because I left on Friday for Trieste and didn’t get back until Sunday at 7:30. I paid for that today, and have no intention of not doing work again before I leave. Trieste may have been worth it though. We saw the most amazing piazza I have seen so far (and it’s even prettier at night than during the day), ate great gelato and great food in general, went to an outdoor market with crafts and food and clothes, saw the ocean, visited a castle, went up into the mountains and hiked some trails through the woods, listened to some percussion performance at a help-Haiti rally in the piazza and saw lots of cute kids dressed up for Carnivale, and to top it off, experienced SUNLIGHT for what may have been the 6th time since I’ve been here. And it was sunny again today!
I should have pics posted on facebook by Friday, but I have to go through them and pick out the best ones since I took 400 and it would take forever to get all those up. I have to post them this week though, because I’m sure I’ll take even more on Saturday in VENEZIA! I still need to buy a carnivalw mask, but hopefully they have some at the market here in Ferrara on Friday. Wooooo carnivale! It’s going to be CRAZY, but so much fun, and I cannot wait to see all the masks and costumes and insanity!
