days go by.

This week just flew by!! The majority of the week was school as usual!

Monday night my lab got out an hour early because the electricity went out and my teacher couldn't find the guard to get into the circuit box. I felt bad, but I was definitely okay with a shorter class! I don't know how the school is set up but in the apartments if you use more than 3 kilowatts of electricity the power goes out! This forces you to turn off lights and appliances you don't really need! Yay eco-ness!

On Tuesday night I went to a cooking lesson that's provided through our school. We made a white bean soup with garlic and parsley! It was then served over bread, and of course we had wine to accompany it! :) It was soooooooo good! It had been pouring pretty much all day so the hot soup definitely hit the spot. Next week is a kind of spicy pasta, so I will definitely be going again. We all know I'm obsessed with food, and the food network, so this is right up my alley! Plus it's a great way to meet new people!

Wednesday for my Art of Rome class we went into the Roman Forum and the Colosseum. Although the subject matter was interesting, it rained all morning and it was a bit difficult to hold an umbrella and take notes. I'll definitely have to go back inside on a nice day!

Well that's about all the exciting stuff that happened this week besides class! Tonight after class I'm off to Florence so I'm sure on Sunday you will get a post with lots of stories and pictures! :D
