Ganzo!

Yesterday I made my first big purchase.....a brown adorable leather jacket which I will add to my car tab and pay back my dad for because quote "I'm paying for you to have fun not go shopping" which I knew.. but I wanted it and I plan on sleeping in it, bathing in it, cooking in it, giving birth to my first child in it, Jk... I love it so I don't mind paying for it, worth it! That was about all that happened yesterday. Today Tuesday was my day filled with classes from 9am-8:30pm. Fashion Marketing was good we discussed what a brands Image really means and watched a movie about Victor and Rolf two fashion designers from the Netherlands and how they launched there brand. In Italian we learned about masculine and feminine nouns and that the word Ganzo.. is a slang term for Cool here in florence... I have been using it all day with the word Allorah which means so, Italians use it all the time it is like the work like in english they say it all the time. So I say allorah ganzo.. which isn't correct but I think its funny. After Italian I had a quick lunch break and then was off to my european english class were we discussed the book Periera Declares. After Lit I walked to my Florence cooking class. Today we didn't cook anything because we went on a walking tour of the hidden gems in florence. First we went to a little shop where we had truffle sandwiches, which is a type of mushroom paste. Next we went to a restaurant that served us red wine and all types of spreads on bread. I tried a spinach and sundried tomato, chicken liver patte, cheese, salsa and a salami. The boy that served us was 16 years old and was named Andrew, he didnt speak much english and was trying to talk to us, it was pretty funny, he was trying to impress all the American girls and our teacher was talking to him and making fun of him. Our last stop was Grom, which is a gelato shop. We tried a nutella flavored gelato straight from the mixer. The man who worked there told us how to know your having good gelato. He said if a place has a gelato flavor that is out of season like strawberry than it means it has a lot of preservatives. If the gelato is out on display like in most shops then it is filled with air, good gelato is kept away. After the sample I got a scoop of cafe and a scoop of dark chocolate and it was amazing! Thats all for today.
