I survived my first two tests! The first was for Intro to
Italian Language and Culture, and it was about as hard as I had expected. I feel
pretty good about it. The second was for Film Genres, and it was actually much
easier than I was expecting! Either that, or I just knew the material better
than I thought I did.
That same night I went to a spoken poetry event at a bar in
downtown Trastevere with Danny. He had heard about it through the poetry club,
and we thought it started at 10, or 22:00. So we got to this little medieval-looking bar at 10, and with the addition of Danny and me, and including the bartender, that made a total of five people present!. We waited an hour
as the place slowly filled up, and finally at 11, the poetry began. It was a
lot of fun – very different from anything I have ever done at home. I am about
99% sure it was hosted in a gay bar, so that was a new and interesting
experience as well!
Thursday, after painting class, Paige and I walked around on
Via del Corso half-heartedly trying to find a coat for our weekend trip to
Prague. We happened to find the most beautiful Louis Viton store in a piazza
right off of Via del Corso. I was wearing running pants and nikes, so we
decided to save that for another day!
Observation of the Day: Time is flying by. I feel like I haven't been here long enough to have any tests, but midterms are in three weeks!
