apparently i have to go to class...

so classes have begun...

fun times over here at temple univerity in rome. I am taking four classes...

class one: Project the Past. This course is a history/film/classics class that studies how ancient rome is portrayed in cinema and what that says about the roman culture of the past and also what it says about american and current day italian culture for choosing this as their subject matter. very interesting. i like film. good times.

class two: Italian Conversation and Composition. this is like 5th semester italian... obviously i am in over my head. but my professor is pretty cool and i'm for sure not the worst one in the class... score... and also my italian could for sure improve.

class three: The History of Italian Design. not sure how i feel about this one yet. we take a field trip to milan though so that should be cool. can't tell how i feel about the teacher. or the subject matter..... but we go to milan. haha.

class four: Early Renaissance Art History. We take a field trip to Florence and Siena. also every week we take a field trip around rome. My professor is a very cute little man with a british accent who was born in america and is obviously totally fluent in italian. i'm a big fan.

soooo that's life in the class room.

the apartment is fabulous. i'm settling in. i can't believe i've only been in rome for like a week and half.. maybe it was all the traveling beforehand... but it just feels so long... craziness.

mom and dad come in two weeks!! score.

andddd the coolest kid i know has a birthday in two days... ya 23. how old are you? hahah....

much love, lindsey
