First day of classes

This morning I woke up at 7:15 showered and got ready for my first day of classes! I grabbed a cappuccino and walked in the rain to my first class fashion marketing. The class seems pretty cool we already have a 6 page paper due on the image of high end fashion stores in Florence. We have to go and look at everything about a store from a marketing point of view. The class is going to be really interesting we are going on a trip to milano and going on a tour of the Ferragamo shoe museum. The class was from 9-11:15, Madison and I quickly had to walk to the "SQuala" for our Italian class. After Italian I had an hour break, I went home and inhaled my eggplant parmesan that I made the night before. I took a power nap and work up for my next class European Lit class. This class is going to be a bit intense we are going to read 9 books over the semester and have a lot of discussions. After Euro Lit we went to our Florence food and culture class. The teacher is a bit intimidating she is very proud to be a Tuscan. Her goal is to get us the students to really expand their pallets and distinguish good from bad food here in Florence. We had bread with cheese, toasted chestnut honey drizzled over it with a bit of orange zest, things I would never think to combine but it was really good! Today was a long day.. straight classes from 9am-8pm and now I am very tired and happy to be relaxing! Currently my roomates and I are sitting in our little living room planning our trip to Rome this weekend!
