I made my first breakfast here, scrambled eggs, toast with ham, and a yogurt. Of course, in order to get the full documentation of breakfast, I snapped a photo. The photo will be placed in the blog once I get my cord. Be prepared!
Turns out I was wrong on which class I had today. Rather than graphic design (which is tomorrow) I had book arts. I was pleasantly surprised by what the course entails. We're going to have to make 10 - 12 composite books, 3-4 personally designed books, and 1 - 2 group books. It should be fun, and I'll be sure to show you each as I make them.
After class, I made a sandwich (again, photographed) with mortadella bologna, cheese, and tomato.
After sandwich, I went to the park to continue reading the book I began last week. I'm nearly finished and its been pretty good so far. A Wolf at the Table for those interested. While at the park, I also enjoyed watching what was happening around me. There was a very unique looking, slightly dirty, dog who was roaming through the park. Also, pigeons made their appearance.
After park, I made my second dinner while in Italy. It was great. It was spaghetti and sauce. Wine. Bread. Milk. Do you think I took a picture?
Finally, I went to the Survival Italian class offered through SACI. It will consist of 6 classes that help to teach you the basic phrases and vocabulary useful for traveling around Italy. The class was interesting and the teachers were helpful. I feel it will present me with some valuable information; however, it is going to take flash cards (which i've already made) in order to memorize. The hard part is actually trying to memorize them.
Overall, It was a pretty low-key day. I sense that the first week or so of classes will be like this, as they are just an introduction the course.
Goodnight!

I don't know why but I assumed you could speak Italian lol. I thought the reason you went there was because you were like, 1/4 Italian or something. I dunno how you're surviving to be honest man, I die on holiday in France and I speak French ok lol.

Enjoyed reading again, and also what is brucshetta (sp?). All Italian food sounds nice haha.
